This course guides students through the integration of mining engineering technician program subject material in the design of excavations for underground development and production mining. Through application of their knowledge gained in surveying, ground control, geology, ventilation, physics and underground mining; students will consider example site conditions to develop efficient and safe designs for excavations to access and extract ore including infrastructure for mine operations and maintenance. Students will use advanced CADD tools and techniques to produce 3d designs with a focus on outputs of high quality drawings and layouts typical to mining industry needs and in compliance with Ontario Acts and Regulations for Mines. Use of multiple software packages for mine design, modelling and simulation will provide experience with benefits and limitations of different data and file formats, and teach practical skills in converting between them while maintaining data integrity and accuracy. Students will become proficient in effect use of Point Cloud, Vector and Imagery data as collected from surveying, scans, and other sources. Assignments include integrated use in highly communicative documents, drawings and models, as well as effective and secure layer and drawing file management in engineering department settings with multiple clients requiring concurrent access to singular data sets.
