    The Diploma holder in Mining and Mine surveying must have knowledge of Rock
    engineering as the underground opening are subject to accumulation of stress
    which make opening unstable, therefore he must understand the kind of support
    required to stabilize the opening. He also required to work as technical asst. in
    various Technical and Research Institutes, therefore he must have knowledge of
    different properties of rock and procedure of determining the properties of rock in
    laboratory and insides the mine. The mining engineer should have knowledge of
    Rock burst, bumps, precautions measure and methods of prediction etc.

    COURSE OUTCOMES:
    After undergoing the course of study the student shall be able to

    1. Classify to rock mass.


    2. Identify the kind of support required to the excavation.
    3. Conduct different laboratory test to determine properties of rock.
    4. Carryout monitoring, predict and supervise and carryout preventive
    measures for rock burst, bumps etc.
    5. Carryout and supervise roof bolting and stitching operation.
