The facts are clear. For a career that is both personally and socially rewarding, becoming an engineer in the mining, geological and metallurgical fields is one of the best options for a student today.
The benefits start on campus with myriad opportunities for internships and scholarships. At a 2023 career fair at the University of Utah, for example, companies including Freeport-McMoRan, Komatsu and Rio Tinto were recruiting for more than 300 internship openings available in the summer of 2024.
