Course Role in Curriculum (Required/Elective): Required core course

Catalogue Description:
The student is required to function on multidisciplinary team to design a system, component,
or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints. A standard engineering design
process is followed including the selection of a client defined problem, literature review,
problem formulation (objectives, constraints, and evaluation criteria), generation of design
alternatives, work plan, preliminary design of the selected alternative, design refinement,
detailed design, design evaluation, and documentations. The student is required to
communicate, clearly and concisely, the details of his design both orally and in written in
several stages during the design process including a final public presentation to a jury
composed of several subject-related professionals.
Textbooks: (Author, Title, Pub., year) All the text books used for other core mining
courses

Course Learning Outcomes:
By the completion of the course the students should be able to:
1

Outline a brief report about general view of selected ore around the world and Saudi
Arabia (including ore distribution, industrial uses, economic view & marketing and
environmental impact).

Summarize a brief geological report about the studied area.

Evaluate ore reserves using different methods (Tonnage, av. Assay, av. thickness,
histograms and global variogram)

Construct the following maps: bed top structure, isopach and isocheimal.

Determine the number of required working mine faces and their locations to produce
required production and design one of working face
Deduce alternative solutions for selection of necessary equipment for: excavation,
extraction, loading and haulage operations.
Select alternative solutions for a Qualitative and quantitative processing flow sheet
design (Flow sheet should include: ore preparation; storage packing; transportation,
other material handling equipments and material balance).
Arrange network of access and circulation from the working faces to the processing
plant and propose alternative solutions for plant / mill location.
Optimize and schedule mine & processing operations and estimate productive life of
the mine.

Course Length and Pacing

ELI 101 consists of 18 hours of class time each week. The English Language Institute
follows a modular system with two modules taught in each academic semester. Thus, the
course length for ELI 101 is one module of seven calendar weeks which allows for a total of
126 hours of class time each module. The 101 Instructor's Pacing Guide is designed on a
weekly basis, specifying available materials and providing instructors with a degree of
flexibility, allowing ample class time for language practice, and for the incorporation of
relevant supplementary materials to facilitate SLO achievement. It also emphasizes regular
Learner Training as an essential component of the learning process.

Catalogue Description:
This course is designed to introduce the internal and external processes that operate within the
Earth. we will discuss the following topics:
1. Relationship between the earth and the globe.
2. Different spheres of the earth and its zones.
3. Introductory notes about common minerals and different types of rocks.
4. Magma generation & types, Volcanoes, Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes
5. External processes of the earth e.g. weathering, mass wasting, surface water and underground
water.
6. Glaciers, beaches, desert, wind, geologic column and methods of dating geologic events.
Course objectives:
Our goal with this subject is to learn about the fundamental processes that affecting the interior
and exterior of the Earth, with a focus on examples from Saudi Kingdom. By the end of the
semester, the student should be able to convincingly answering questions about the following
points:
1. The relationship between the earth and the globe.
2. The internal and external processes of the earth.
3. Earth's spheres, magma generation & types, Plate Tectonics, Volcanoes, Earthquakes.
4. Introductory notes on common minerals and different types of rocks.
5. Weathering, formation of soil with a special emphasis on sedimentary rocks.
6. Mass wasting and the processes of mass wasting, surface water (hydrologic cycle, running
water, and the geologic effects of the surface water).
7. Underground water (types of aquifers, springs, wells).
8. Glaciers, beaches, desert and wind.
9. Methods of dating geologic events and geologic time scale.
