    Explosives Engineering (MS)

    Distance GraduateDegree Program


    Department of Mining & Nuclear Engineering

    Program Description
    There is an immediate and growing need for highly trained
    explosives professionals in the explosive, mining and civil
    excavating fields and government and defense industries.
    Employers are looking for engineers and scientists with
    sophisticated skills in the integration of explosives technology into
    complex systems in a wide range of applications. Employers are
    also seeking MS graduates because they can move quickly into
    managerial positions.
    The master of science in Explosives Engineering requires a
    minimum of 30 hours of graduate credit and is offered as both
    thesis and non-thesis options. A core of four courses is required
    of all students and a module of allied courses in departments
    outside of explosives engineering is encouraged.

    Admissions Requirements
    A bachelor of science in engineering, technology or a physical
    science is required. GPA 3.0; the GPA may be the cumulative
    GPA or the last 60 hours of the BS program. For a GPA between
    3.0 and 2.75, an applicant may be admitted as a probationary
    student.
    The Verbal, Quantitative, and Analytical Writing portions of
    the Graduate Record Examine (GRE) must be taken with a
    Quantitative score of 148 (600 based on previous scale) or greater
    and an Analytical Writing score of at least 3.5. International
    students must take the examination before admission. U.S.
    students must take the GRE before the end of their first semester
    on campus.
    For experienced applicants who have significant post baccalaureate
    work experience, their experience and accomplishments may be
    assessed by the explosives faculty and taken into consideration.
    Often a probationary student will first be admitted to the
    Explosives Engineering Certificate Program. Satisfactorily
    completing a certificate is an alternate route into the masters and is
    often used by distance students who do not have the time to study
    for and take the GRE exam. For information about the Explosives
    Engineering Graduate Certificate Program, see reverse side.

    All participants in explosives courses must


    submit to a security background check.
    Degree Requirements
    The MS degree with thesis requires the completion of 24 hours
    of graduate coursework and six hours of research (Explosives
    Engineering 490) and the successful completion and defense
    of a research thesis. For the MS degree non-thesis option, the
    six hours of research are replaced by an additional explosive
    course and an industry project.
    Four of the following core courses are required of all MS
    students in Explosives Engineering:
    EXP ENG 5612/MIN ENG 5612 Principles of Explosives Engineering
    EXP ENG 5622/MIN ENG 5622 Blasting Design and Technology
    EXP ENG 5713 Demolition of Building and Structures
    MIN ENG 4922 Tunneling and Underground Construction Techniques
    EXP ENG 6412 Environmental Controls for Blasting
    EXP ENG 6312 Scientific Instrumentation for Explosives and Blasting

    There is no formal residency requirement; however, students


    enrolled in courses with a laboratory component may be
    required to complete a three-day to one-week laboratory
    session at Missouri S&T, at a time agreed to with the course
    instructor.

    Application Requirements
    Along with the application forms, you must submit
    copies of your transcripts, GRE scores, a statement of
    purpose and three letters of recommendation. For more
    information on the application process, and to download
    application forms, go online to http://dce.mst.edu/
    admissions/index.html
    Delivery Method
    Students will learn by listening to online lectures and
    through directed self-study. Lectures can be accessed
    online at a time convenient to the student. Alternatively,
    a student may use recorded versions on a CD or a DVD.
    Blackboard is used in course administration.

    Explosives Engineering
    Distance GraduateCertificate Program
    Department of Mining & Nuclear Engineering

    Program Description
    The Explosives Engineering Graduate Certificate Program
    is designed to provide formalized education in the area
    of explosives engineering. Students will be exposed to
    the theoretical and practical approaches of explosives
    engineering. Students will learn analysis and design of
    explosive-related systems and both natural and built
    structure effects.
    Curriculum*
    The following courses are required:
    EXP ENG 5612 Principles of Explosives Engineering
    EXP ENG 5622 Blasting Design and Technology

    Two of the following courses are required:


    EXP ENG 5001 Pyrotechnics Show Design
    EXP ENG 5112 Explosives Handling and Safety
    (on campus only)
    EXP ENG 5512/MIN ENG 5512 Commercial
    Pyrotechnics Operations
    EXP ENG 5513 Stage Pyrotechnics & Special Effects
    EXP ENG 5713 Demolition of Buildings & Structures
    (on campus only)
    MIN ENG 4822 Tunneling & Underground
    Construction Techniques
    EXP ENG 6000 Special Problems (maximum of 3 credit hours
    may be taken at the discretion of the program coordinators)
    EXP ENG 6001 Regulatory Issues in the Explosives Industry

    descriptions, please refer to the Graduate Course Catalog online
    at catalog.mst.edu.
    Admission Requirements
    The Explosives Engineering Certificate Program is open to
    all persons holding a B.S. (in applied science, technology
    or engineering), M.S., or Ph.D degree and who have a

    minimum of 12 months of post baccalaureate professional


    employment experience.
    Once admitted to the program, the student must take
    the four designated courses listed above. In order to
    receive a Graduate Certificate, the student must have
    an average cumulative grade of 3.0 or better in the
    certificate courses.
    Students admitted to the certificate program will have
    non-matriculated status; however, if they complete the
    four-course sequence with a grade of B or better in
    each of the courses taken, they will be admitted to the
    M.S. Explosives Engineering program, upon application.
    The Explosive Engineering certificate credits taken by
    students admitted to the M.S. program will count toward
    their masters degree in Explosives Engineering.
    Students who do not have all of the prerequisite courses
    necessary to take the courses in the certificate program
    will be allowed to take bridge courses at either the
    graduate or undergraduate level to prepare for the formal
    certificate courses.
    Once admitted to a certificate program, a student will be
    given three years to complete the program, so long as he/
    she maintains at least a B average in the courses taken.
