Direct mining course
Battery Electric Mine Equipment
Mine-equipment electrification, battery systems and operational considerations for underground applications.
Mining career profile / Sudbury, Ontario
Building a mining career on a mechanical foundation.
I recently completed a Master of Engineering in Engineering Science at Laurentian University, with a mechanical focus and mining-relevant coursework. I am pursuing my first direct engineering opportunity in mining, where I can contribute in mechanical, field, equipment, project-support or QA/QC work.

Why mining
A deliberate direction, not a rewritten job title.
Studying in Sudbury at Laurentian University placed me close to Northern Ontario's mining industry. I used my graduate program to add mining-related courses to a mechanical background, with the goal of moving into equipment, field support, quality and project execution.
I am not presenting my aerospace projects as mining experience. They are included only where they provide evidence of transferable work, such as hydraulic sizing, mechanical design, manufacturing, testing, failure analysis and technical documentation.

Mining foundation
Mining coursework backed by graduate study.
The two mining-specific courses are highlighted first. Supporting study adds quality, project, economic, environmental, data and materials context.
Direct processing course
Solid Waste Processing
Processing systems, material streams, separation methods and waste-management fundamentals.
Quality and improvement
Quality Planning and Analysis
Quality methods, process control and evidence-based improvement.
Project delivery
Project Management for Engineers
Scope, schedule, coordination, risk and project execution fundamentals.
Data and decisions
Business Statistics
Data analysis and statistical reasoning for technical decisions.
Technical economics
Engineering Economics
Economic evaluation and decision-making for engineering projects.
Environmental context
Long-Term Environmental Change
Long-term environmental systems, change and evidence-based interpretation.
Engineering materials
Composite Materials
Material behaviour, analysis and design considerations for composite systems.
Grades shown for the two directly mining-specific courses are verified on the Laurentian University transcript provided.
Experience already earned
Safety-critical work and engineering fundamentals.

What I have done, studied and want to develop.
Demonstrated in projects
Mechanical and technical
CAD, FEA, hydraulic sizing, CNC CAM, tolerance analysis, FMEA, design review and technical reporting.
Studied
Mining and project foundation
Battery-electric mine equipment, solid-waste processing, environmental change, quality planning, project management, engineering economics and statistics.
Seeking site experience
Field execution
Equipment installation, commissioning support, field inspections, maintenance planning and mine-site procedures.
Transferable project evidence
Two projects that support the mining direction.
The project contexts are stated clearly so the engineering evidence can be evaluated without overstating industry experience.
Transferable academic projectHydraulic systems
Control-surface hydraulic actuation sizing
Project context: conceptual aircraft actuation. Relevance: hydraulic calculations, component sizing and design review.
What I did
Compared actuation architectures and built a sizing model for piston area, flow, motor power, accumulator volume and pipe diameter. Updated loads caused me to reject the original EMA selection and revise the design to EHA.
What it demonstrates
Working from loads and assumptions, checking whether an early decision remains valid, documenting limitations and translating analysis into component-level requirements.

Individual mechanical projectDesign, manufacture and test
Mechanical linkage from CAD to hardware
Project context: Fowler flap linkage. Relevance: mechanical design, FEA, manufacturing, quality checks and failure analysis.
What I did
Modelled the assembly, optimized the linkage using FEA, selected tolerances, created CNC toolpaths and compared predicted mass with the manufactured part.
What it demonstrates
The part passed its structural test. A kinematic collision appeared during retraction, so I identified the missed contact setting and documented geometry and review changes for the next iteration.
