Modern miners
(File:Miner.jpg|thumb|right|A miner at work)Mining engineers use the principles of math and science to develop philosophical solutions to technical problems for miners.In most cases, a bachelor's degree in engineering, mining engineering or geological engineering is required. Because technology is constantly changing, miners and mining engineers need to continue their education.WEB,weblink Mining and Geological Engineers : Occupational Outlook Handbook: : U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, 19 March 2018, The basics of mining engineering includes finding, extracting, and preparing minerals, metals and coal. These mined products are used for electric power generation and manufacturing industries. Mining engineers also supervise the construction of underground mine operations and create ways to transport the extracted minerals to processing plants.Gallery
