Advanced Coal Mining and Mechanization

This document outlines the syllabus for an Advanced Coal Mining and Mechanization course. The 3 credit, semester-long course meets for 3 periods per week and includes a 3 hour semester end exam worth 70 marks and continuous internal evaluation worth 30 marks. The course objectives are to introduce recent trends in coal face mechanization and various advanced methods of coal mining. It covers topics like coal face mechanization, mining thick seams, hydraulic mining, longwall mining, and underground coal gasification. The expected outcome is for students to gain exposure to advanced coal mining methods and coal face mechanization.
