UBC Mining Teams
The UBC Underground Mine Rescue Team (AKA “the Team”) is made up of undergraduate students from the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering.
These dedicated individuals have committed much personal time and effort to learning, executing, and upholding the utmost safety standards.
Undergraduate Field Trip
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that for many of our students, their fourth-year field trip is one of the best experiences of their lives.
