Successful completion of an Engineering Certificate is included on transcripts. Note that no course counted for degree credit can be counted for more than one minor or certificate.
The mineral resources sector encompasses many disciplines, and covers endeavours that range from mineral exploration and resource estimation, through mine planning, design and operation, and on to mining finance. Environment protection is foremost in all these, and they all operate under strict international legislative frameworks. The Mineral Resources Certificate provides exposure to the sector for interested candidates, and is arranged in themes to suit a student’s specific area of interest.
Students in all disciplines except the Lassonde Mineral Engineering Program are eligible to participate in this Certificate.
All courses indicated below are technical courses, not CS or HSS. Students may take these as either a Free Elective or as a Technical Elective Substitution with the approval of their home department.
