"I enjoyed my classes, as I had so much to learn about this new field and how technology was slowly making its way into the mining industry. Most of my co-ops were related to research. This built my solid skills in analyzing data and interpreting results. What I like about mining is that it opens all doors for you and you can do so much related to any other field."

"The members of the department made me feel as though I was part of the mining “family” from the beginning. McGill Mining Engineering helped me to secure my first internship. To ensure that I graduated with solid industry experience, I did a 16-month internship which in hindsight was a great decision and led to my subsequent successful positions over the past 10 years."
