Historia biográfica
The Department of Mineral Resources Engineering has its origins in the Royal School of Mines, which opened in 1851 as the Government School of Mines and of Science applied to the Arts. By 1854, the Mining and Metallurgical Division was established as one of four sections of the School. The department was moved from Jermyn Street to South Kensington in 1891.An undergraduate degree course in Mineral Dressing was introduced in 1953, and renamed Mineral Technology in 1961, when a new chair in Mineral Technology was established. The Department was known as the Department of Mining and Mineral Technology from 1961 until 1976, when it became the Department of Mineral Resources Engineering with the addition of Petroleum Engineering from the Department of Geology.A third year undergraduate course in Rock Mechanics was introduced in 1967.
The Centre for Petroleum Studies was established in 1994 and is currently part of the T H Huxley School of Environment, Earth Science and Engineering, as is the Petroleum Engineering & Rock Mechanics (PERM) Research Group.
