Program areas at SME Foundation

The phd-fellowship program focuses on providing financial support to qualified candidates with industry experience and a desire to pursue an academic career, who are currently enrolled or have been formally accepted in a u.s. Academic institution, with the means of acquiring a doctoral degree in the field of mining or extractive metallurgy/mineral processing at a u.s. acrredited university. Sme has implemented these programs to address the long-term challenges that threaten the substainability of u.s. mining and mineral processing/extractive metallurgy academic degree granting programs, as well as the looming future labor deficiencies with retirement over the next two decades.
The peng ground control mining award is given in recognition of individuals that have demonstrated technical and scientific excellence in advancing the understanding of ground control technologies or approaches by either publication or direct applications in the mining industry. The annual award will be given to an individual or group that: (1) has shown insight and understanding of ground control issues by developing concepts, theories or technologies that have been adopted by the mining community, or (2) has successfully implemented a ground control design or designs or practices. The award will be available to individuals/groups that have made such contributions to ground control related to coal and/or noncoal (metals, commodities, etc.) Or aggregate mines. In addition, in 2009, the syd s. peng fund added two ground control in mining scholarships to promote the science of ground control. Recent trends in mining engineering professionals indicate a shortage of competent ground control engineers. To help remedy this situation and promote the ground control engineering discipline, an undergraduate and/or graduate scholarship(s) will be awarded annually to encourage the development of ground control engineers.
The mineral education coalition (mec) is the society for mining, metallurgy and exploration Foundation's designated program to develop and deliver accurate and timely k-12 education materials and activities and conduct public awareness outreach about mining and minerals. The mec is the successor entity of the mineral information institute (mii) which was merged as of november 1, 2008 and Sme's government, education and mining (gem) program.
