: Mining Technology

General Description

History

Today, it is of great importance to operate our mines economically and efficiently, with environmental awareness, and to bring them into the world and national economy. For this reason, it is extremely important to find the mines, operate them with appropriate technological methods, and make them what the industry needs by using ore preparation and enrichment methods. Therefore, the mining industry needs trained intermediate staff who are qualified, able to adapt to developments, have work discipline, can use the relevant tools, equipment and materials, and can fill the professional gap between the engineer and the worker. For these reasons, the Mining Technology program at DEU Torbalı Vocational School was established in 2014. It has started accepting students since 2020.
