Key Summary
Introduction
The objective of the degree in Engineering of Mining and Energy Resources is to provide the training and skills necessary for the exercise of the regulated profession of technical engineering in mines. There are three technologies offered: "Energy Resources, Fuels and Explosives", "Mine Exploitation" and "Mineralurgy and Metallurgy".
The degree delves into training related to the investigation and exploitation of mining resources (rocks and minerals, underground spaces, water...). In addition, it provides suitable training in the field corresponding to the transformation and use of these resources in industry: production and use of metallic materials, steels, polymers and compounds.
All these activities must be carried out by the future professional in a safe, profitable and compatible way with the environment, which justifies that the study plan contemplates cross-cutting subjects of economics and business, safety and risk prevention and the environment.
