Mining Engineering Career Fair 2026 – Thank You for a Fantastic Event!

Career Fair
March 12, 2026

On March 6, 2026, we were thrilled to welcome students, faculty, and industry partners to the Mining Engineering Career Fair, held alongside the APSC First Year Program Fair. The Earth Sciences Building Atrium was buzzing with energy as students explored career paths in mining, asked questions, and made new connections.

We’d like to extend a warm thank you to all first‑year students who stopped by, whether you arrived already interested in Mining Engineering or discovered the field for the first time. Your curiosity and great questions made the event truly engaging.

A big thank‑you also goes to our current Mining Engineering students who shared their experiences with courses, co‑ops, and student life. Your insights help future engineers picture themselves in the program.

We were equally delighted to meet those who stumbled upon the event, grabbed some pizza, and left with new ideas about the many exciting directions a mining career can take, from sustainability and innovation to design, consulting, operations, and technology.
