There are two
kinds of Continuing Education offered by the Mining Department aimed at:
Giving an
additional profession; Periodical further education for raising the
professional competence.
At present every
year in the Mining Department conducts the course for the managers of the
mining works for non-mining specialists who already have higher education in
some other technical speciality. This course, named "Right of Managing
Mining Works", covers 300 lessons and it ends with examination and
presentation of thesis. The course certificate allows conducting mining works on
the quarries of mineral materials for building. This course is also necessary
for some specialists in the field of applied geology, working in nature
protection and environmental institutions.
The course
programme for the workers of oil shale mines has been recently worked out and
it comprises 120 lessons. This course will be conducted during the current
academic year and it is addressed to the lower- and medium-level managers.
Teaching in the
Department of Mining goes on by all-university study standards. Every study
year divides into two semesters, each 16 weeks. Number of study hours for every
course is usually 3, sometimes 2 or 4 weekly. Duration of courses is one
semester.
In the end of
semester teachers usually carry out consultations, after what students are
taking credit (preliminary examination) or examination. Preliminary
examinations must be passed before examination session in January and in
May-June.
All special
courses students pass in Chairs of Applied Geology and Mining Engineering,
Department of Mining TUT (Appendix 15 Teaching
programmes of the Department of Mining, TUT). General and basic courses study courses are taught
in other departments of the Tallinn University of Technology.
Power Engineering
Faculty now is located in the university campus, Ehitajate tee 5, which is
ready from spring 2004. It gives good conditions for teaching and research work
for teachers. Department of Mining has special geology and mining classrooms

G5164. Stability prediction and environmental
consequences of the mined out area. Elaboration of the long-term stability prediction methods and
enveronmental consequences in the mined out area is the main aimmof the present
work. This project deals with the stability prediction method by roof-to-floor
convergence. It is possible to estimate the area, time and location of the
collapse in a mining block. The applicability area and adequacy of this method
were determined. Calculation method is used for solving different problems -
monitoring of the mining blocks, underground constructions and so. Conditional
thickness prognoses method bases on the superposition principle of the
influence factors, which takes into consideration all the geological feature
and properties of the rocks. It was performed the analysis of the inflence
factors, classification and error calculations. Bases on the theoretical
investigations and experiments of in-situ conditions, the basic mechanism of
influence factors were opened. The adequacy analysis of the obtained results
was made. Stability prediction methods by convergence and conditinal thichness
are perspective and suit for long-term prognosis. Prediction methods enable to
determine the parameters of collapse and surface subsidence, estimate the
negative impact on the environment. They allow modifying the underground
construction calculation methods and performing the monitoring. The methods are
applocable in other geological conditions, where the room-and-pillar mining
system is used. They are suitable for prognosis, design and monitoring of the
underground constructions.
G5913. Usage at mined out
areas. Several mines have been closed or abandoned in recent years in
T001. Geotechnical models of
Estonian earth crust - case flat deposits. Oil Shale deposit was modelled
with modelling software Mapinfo, Vertical Mapper and Visual Modflow. As the result,
models of quatermary sediment and water situation in mined out areas were
created. Mining technology and environmental influence in Viivikonna section of
Narva oil shale open cast was modelled and approved for continuing mining.
Water level and quality increases in mined out areas. Resource and mining
prognoses for construction materials shows importance of this investigation and
possibilities of furher development. Development is most likely in landscape
designing direction together with mining activities in dense populated areas.
Geotechnical evaluation for technogenic areas, surface and underground mines,
waste fields were performed.

Materials and
results of research work are used in lectures and practical work in different
courses: structural geology, hydrogeology, geology etc. Some of students are
partaking in scientific works of TTU Department of Mining staff and in other
scientific institutes. During the last 2-3 years were published 6-7 papers of
our students. Some of them are also co-authors of the Geological Survey of
Estonia Reports.
Each student enrolled into the TUT fills one vacancy
in his field, which gives him/her the right to get educational services from
the University at one or, as an exception, at two specialities.
Depending on the Regulations of Financing the
Educational Services, the student may fill one of following vacancies:
Supported by the State;
Partly supported by the State;
Not supported by the State.
Most of the Mining Engineering, Geotechnology and
Applied Geology students are supported by the State. The student supported by
the State has the right to apply for the State grant according to the TUT
Directive of Awarding Grants.
The student not supported by the State is expected to
pay for his/her studies. The order of payment is enacted by a contract made
between the student or sponsoring institution and the TUT.
To participate in the studies, the student has to
compile an individual study program on a standard form. In the program he/she is
to declare the subjects, which he/she intends and is able to study during the
following semester. Subjects taught in the TUT must match the criteria given in
the Register of Subjects. Also, to study a subject, the prerequisite exam or
credit must be passed. The student is allowed to make changes in the study
program until the deadline fixed in academic calendar. This allows the students
to acquaint themselves with the chosen subjects during the lectures.
For the lectures the students are registered in the
corresponding department by fixed deadlines.
The rules of admission are established by the
University Council and confirmed by the Minister of Education. A commission
nominated by the order of the Rector organizes admission. For undergraduate
studies secondary education is necessary.
Applicants for Master Degree Studies must hold a
Bachelor's degree or have an educational certificate equal to it. Applicants
for Doctorate Studies must hold a Master's degree or an academic degree equal
to it.
At all levels applicants have to pass the competition
to be enrolled. In the field of Master and Doctoral Degree Studies all the
vacancies by the State have been filled exactly, too. The level of knowledge is
very different among the first-year students. Deficiencies of secondary
education, poor working habits and insufficient capability of independent
thinking are the most common problems.
The popularisation of the Mining Engineering,
Geotechnology and Applied Geology is organized mainly as follows:
The Mining Department annually publishes an
acquainting prospect about the field.
Every year an information day for secondary school
students takes place in the University.
Applied Geology students visit their home schools in
order to introduce their fields.
Since the language of institution is Estonian, most of
the students are Estonians, too; number of Russians remains below 50%. By today
no international students have entered. The rules of admission are established
by the University Council and confirmed by the Minister of Education an
Science. A commission nominated by the order of the Rector organizes admission.
For undergraduate studies secondary education is necessary.
Every year the number of applicants is about 20 and
entered here:

The Mining
Department is situated in the new building. The Department possesses 16 rooms
with the total area of
Geological classroom. In the Geological
Laboratory/Classroom are big collection minerals, rocks and ore samples from
different parts of world, geological maps and other materials, needed for
teaching geological courses. Some modern apparatus to study them are needed.
Room for project works,
workshops and seminars. This
room is the most updated one with seven computers and three presentation
apparatus. This room, being connected with the main computer network of the
TUT, has also the connection with the Internet. In this room regular seminars
are held where the teachers and students participate in discussions concerning
mining problems and new information. From time to time the representatives of
the industry take part in the seminars.
Survey instruments. The Mining Department has some traditional
survey instruments. Recently a modern GPS instrument was also obtained. The
survey instruments are used mostly for practical exercises during the field
courses. Also computer programmes to develop MGIS – Mining Geographic
Information System at Mining department. Different new softwares and upgrades
are bought: Surpac Vision for planning and designing underground mines and open
pits, MapInfo Discover to create geological cross sections and plans, analyse
geochemical data and other. Visual ModFlow Professional software is purchased
to create groundwater aquifer model and create predictions water level changes.
Also software-training courses are gone through to teach four mining department
employees.
Computers. The computers of the Mining Department (20
working places) are connected with the local computer network and with the main
University network. The local network has also six different printers, two
scanners and one plotter.
In addition to the
widely used software programmes the Mining Department uses also several special

this, senior students have an access to the Computer class of the Faculty with
seven work places, a printer and a scanner.
Libraries. The students, the teachers and the researchers have
free access to three libraries:
Main Scientific
Library of the TTU, located at the University Centre;
National Library http://www.nlib.ee/;
Reference library
at the Mining Department.
Every library has
a reading-hall with the copy facilities. Literature can be searched and
subscribed via online computer system. http://www.lib.ttu.ee/
The main stock of
the libraries consists of textbooks in Russian most of which are outdated by
today.
Literature in
English obtained in recent years covers the main needs of the study field, but
the number of copies is usually limited (1-2). The number of subscribed
technical journals, mostly in English, German and Russian, is satisfactory.
Some modern textbooks and handbooks in English have been obtained through
personal contacts from colleagues and corporations from

Thanks to European
Masters Mineral Engineering Course (EMMEC) programme students are studing in 9
different universities plus excursions and additional lecture sessions in
visited countries (eg.
The courses take
place in different Universities in
- RWTH Aachen,
Germany
- Technical University Berlin, Germany

FEMP is the
organisation that co-ordinates the two year European Masters Mineral
Engineering Course (EMMEC) for students in Mining- and Geotechnical
Engineering, Mineral Processing, Recycling and related academic studies. There
are three different specialisations; accommodating groups with 15 to 20
students each.
Participating students study together at universities in four different European
countries for one of the two academic years. EMMEC has three different
specialisations, which each has its own main topics, courses and study
locations.
The European Mining Course (EMC) focuses on
a wide variety of mining subjects. Both Underground and Open Pit mining
subjects are taught. Furthermore, the subjects include rock mechanics, computer
modeling, health & safety, and economics. Most courses include projects in
which the students work in small groups. The program finishes with a case study
in which the students are creating a business plan. Company visits to
operations and the supply industry take place in each of the four countries.
The European Mineral Engineering Course
(EMEC) is mainly focused on mineral processing, recycling and metallurgy. Both
classic and modern mineral processing and separation techniques are taught.
Classic methods are mostly applied in raw materials processing, where the
modern ones have predominantly applications in recycling engineering. Computer
modelling of processing systems has high attention and is also included in the
Program.
The Program also
contains many company visits to industry related to mining, mineral processing
and recycling.
The
Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering (EGEC) combines geotechnical and environmental subjects into one
program. The subjects are related to mining and non-mining applications. The
program includes subjects concerning rock mechanics, underground space
construction, rehabilitation and environmental issues. Project work in small
groups is included as well as mine site and company visits.
For today three
students have participated and this year (2005) Elo Rannik will be in group of
EGEC course.

excursion to North-Finland. During excursion
In next year, 2004
Veiko Karu went to the same excursion and participated in the group work which
program students had. The excursion allowed getting more knowledge about Finish
industry, technology of mining ore and other mining related information. Also
contacts with industry people have not minor importance.
In July of 2004
mining students from Delft University of Technology had excursion to Estonian
mining related companies and objects, which was organized by our mining
institution. Seven students from

joining EMMEC (European Masters Mineral Engineering Course) as full member.
Symposium on
oil shale, November 2006,
Prof. Mait Mets
has dealt with engineering geology, geotechnics and environmental geotechnical
issues. He has published up to 200 articles on these problems (5 articles in 2003)
and presented papers on the subjects in many international conferences (5
presentations in 2003). Prof. Mets has investigated normally consolidated and
over-consolidated clays, sands containing organic matter, silt types,
sandstone, oil shale, landslides, waste management, environmental geotechnics
etc. A special interest has been the impact of engineering geological factors
on pile bearing capacities and the settlement of pile foundations. Currently,
micro-piles are the main object of research.
Prof. Mets belongs
in the committees of DFI, ISSM GE 6:3:18, the Union of Estonian Engineers and
the Board of the Union of Estonian Construction Engineers.
Prof. Mets has
been the member of the Advisory committee of the X Baltic Conference of
Geotechnics and is in charge of formulating the scientific programme for the
2005 Conference.

Appendix 19 Comparison with year 2002

Figure 1 Average staff age and staff number of Mining Department
Laboratories
Compared to 2002
years laboratories and rooms situation have been changed dramatically.
The Mining
Department is situated in the new building. The Department possesses 16 rooms
with the total area of
Recently modern
GIS software and GPS instruments were obtained. The survey instruments are used
mostly for practical exercises during the field courses. Also computer
programmes to develop MGIS – Mining Geographic Information Systems for Mining.
New softwares and upgrades were bought: Surpac Vision for planning and
designing underground and surface mines, MapInfo Discover for geological
modelling, cross sections and plans, for analising geochemical data and other.
Visual ModFlow Professional software were purchased to create groundwater
aquifer models and create predictions of water level changes. Also
software-training courses were gone through to teach employees of mining
department.

Table 9 Comparison of students councelling in 2002 and 2005
2002
· no specialised student workgroup to help new students
· lack of computers to get information
· Mining Department separated from the campus
· Lecturer council any time
2005
· students council from specialised student group (tuutor)
· Lecturer council any time
· better access to information- more computers, students lists
· one student from the class gets and shares information (grupivanem)
· better access to information because of the new building near the campus
· students have possibility to use study class
