The first-level disciplines of mining engineering include mining engineering, mineral processing engineering, safety technology and engineering. Two subjects. Mining engineering discipline should not only improve and develop traditional mining engineering technology according to the geological, production and economic characteristics of mines, but also absorb and integrate the latest achievements of modern science and technology, and constantly improve and update mining engineering technology. Mining engineering discipline is closely related to geological resources, such as geological engineering, energy engineering, metallurgical engineering, material science and engineering, mechanics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, chemistry and other adjacent disciplines.

Mining engineering, mineral processing engineering, safety technology and engineering, which are the first-level disciplines of mining engineering, are interdependent and have internal relations of development. Mining engineering sites are mostly located in complex environments, and mining engineering relies on safety technology and engineering to provide safety guarantee. Safety technology and engineering discipline is the safety technology of industrial and mining enterprises, but its outstanding research object is the major disasters and safety problems in mining field. Mineral resources mined by mining projects usually need to be beneficiated and become raw materials for metallurgy, energy, chemical industry, building materials and other industries. The development of mining engineering discipline is extremely important to the national economic construction and social development, and will continuously promote and promote the sustained and coordinated development of the national economy.
