Mining engineers use science and engineering principles to safely extract minerals and provide raw materials for industrial processes. Mining engineers work in all kinds of mines and environments to provide critical materials (e.g. lithium and rare earth elements) and other materials (e.g. aggregates, metals, diamonds, and industrial minerals like gypsum) to support our way of life.
