Senior Project Videos

Over the course of the past year, seniors have been engaged in the department's capstone course MinE 4535-4536: Senior Design Project. Working in teams, students research, plan, design and produce a comprehensive written feasibilty study for a proposed mining operation. Their work reflects countless hours of research and writing, and their final submitted work can exceed a hundred pages. Teams also produced the following videos which showcase key aspects of their projects. We commend our seniors for their hardwork throughout the year!
