The department of Mining Engineering is Striving for a high-quality undergraduate program supported by a compatible contemporary curriculum, applied research, and provision of technical competence to the graduates possessing skills to contribute to the Mining industry of Pakistan in general and Balochistan in particular with an environmentally friendly approach. Our prime objective is to prepare and train the students for productive, long life careers in Mining and related fields.
Faculty of Engineering and Architecture was established in 2004 and is located at BUITEMS Takatu campus named after the Takatu Mountain, Quetta. The Department of mining engineering was established in the year 2008. Since its inception, a total of 8 batches have graduated and are serving in various Public and Private sector Mining organizations.
The future focus of the Department is to enhance its outreach and to serve the mining industry of Pakistan in general and the Balochistan province in particular through applied research. In addition to this, the department is working to establish sustainable academic and research linkages with local and international organizations. The focus of research would remain to address real-time issues of the Mining industry of Balochistan.
