WHAT IS MINING ENGINEERING AND WHO IS A MINING ENGINEER?

Mining engineering is a branch engineering that involves the practice, theory, science, technology, and application of extracting and processing minerals from their natural environments. It involves geology, mineral processing and metallurgy, electrical, mechanical, civil and geotechnical engineering and surveying among fields. In simple words this program is all about extracting minerals from underneath, above or on the ground. The mining sector is of great importance and the mined materials (metals and non-metals) are needed to make roads, buildings, build cars, computers, satellites and to generate electricity among other things. In being a mining engineer, the processes of finding and extracting these minerals are a major responsibility. They also assess the safety and productivity of mines and then plan and manage the extraction of minerals that may be underground or on the surface.

WHERE DO MINING ENGINEERS WORK?

In a typical situation, mining engineers are employed in mining companies, quarrying companies and mining consultation firms. Quarrying is the process of removing rock, sand, gravel or other minerals from the ground in order to use them to produce materials for construction or other uses. Examples of mines that employ mining engineers include mines in Zambia such as Mopani and Konkola copper mines, First quantum minerals limited, Lubambe copper mines etc. The quarrying companies that employ these engineers include Zamastone, Oriental quarries, China Geo and United quarries. Cement companies such as Chilanga cement do quarrying and can also employ these engineers to help for planning and managing of operations of the site.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

They are tasked with designing and developing mines, both open-pit and underground. They supervise the construction of mine shafts and tunnels. The mine shafts are vertical passages that are made in the ground for locating or mining minerals and sometimes to allow for air to enter the underground mine. The tunnels on the other hand are the horizontal passages. After the mining has been done, they find ways of transporting the ore from the ground to the plants for processing. They prepare reports for miners, managers and other engineers of the work that has been done for some specified period.

It is known that mines can have a lot of effects on the environment as there can be air, land and water pollution. These engineers are tasked with providing solutions to issues related to pollution so that mining is less harmful to the environment. They also make sure that mines are safe for the miners that are either working underground or on the surface.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The job market of the mining engineers is relatively fair and this may be because there is a good number of mines in the country since our economy is very dependent on this sector despite the recent efforts to change this. Also, the coming of new mines, both small scale and large scale, has also made this profession fairly marketable because the engineers can be employed as engineers for a mine or can consult in the making or designing of the mines and quarries as long as they have the right qualifications. 

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

Mining engineering as stated earlier is a combination of many forms of engineering and therefore one who wants to do this kind of engineering needs to have interest in mathematics, physics and chemistry and geography. The program is heavily grounded in these sciences and as such, a good background in such subjects will be an added advantage.

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

Mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering drawing, communication skills, engineering mathematics, introduction to mining, engineering mechanics, principles of surveying, introduction to geology, electrical engineering, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, surface and underground mining methods, mine development, mine surveying, introduction to extractive metallurgy, mining and economic geology, principles of rock mechanics, rock excavation engineering, mine environment and ventilation, mine geostatistics, mineral economics etc.

In the final year, some universities may allow a student to choose among a list of divisions that fall under the mining engineering program. In the case of the Copperbelt University the students have two choices. Some may choose to major in rock mechanics while other decide to do so in mine planning and design. The courses in these courses are different and allow them to work in different mines, within and outside the country.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

The requirements to enter into mining engineering are five O’ level credits or better including Mathematics, English and Sciences. The program is not offered in many universities and therefore it may be very competitive to enter the program. A diploma in mining can allow you to enroll in the degree program and be exempted from some years.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

A degree holder can advance their qualification to Master’s and PhD level. The master of mineral sciences in mining engineering (with research) is offered at the University of Zambia. In some places, it is possible to major in a particular mineral such as copper or coal. All these further qualifications increase the chances of being employed in the mining industry and also allows one to teach in the university.

Scroll to the bottom for a list of institutions that offer Geology

WHAT IS GEOLOGY AND WHO IS A GEOLOGIST?
A geologist is a person who studied geology in university. Geology is the study of the earth materials such as soils, rocks, water, petroleum and minerals and processes under which they were formed. When geologists understand these processes under which the materials were formed, they use that knowledge to locate new mineral deposits or new water resources or petroleum that are useful in the economy of countries. Minerals provide sources of metals for industrialisation while water is an input in domestic homes and all forms of industries and agriculture.

WHERE DO GEOLOGISTS WORK?

Geologists can work for the department of water affairs for the government where they explore for new sources of water, typically ground water. Also, non-governmental organisations like the world Vision or SNV can employ geologists to help them locate good sources of ground water that they can access using boreholes typically in rural areas for rural communities to use. A geologist who specialises in water exploration is called a hydrogeologist.

A geologist can also work as a mineral exploration geologist for a mineral exploration company or for the geological survey department of the government to look for new mineral deposits. Mineral exploration companies are typically foreign private companies who come into the country to make mining investments. Once new profitable mineral deposits have been discovered, a mine such as that of Copper on the Copperbelt province is opened. At the mine site, a geologist continues to direct the mining company in terms of the quality of the mineral at each stage of the mining process. At the mine site, a geologist also helps to locate ground water and pump it out so that mining activities are not disturbed by flooding of water.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?
For the geologist who works in water exploration (hydrogeologist), their day to day job involves going out in the field with special equipment called geophysical equipment that is used to take measurements of specific factors on the ground. From those measurements a hydrogeologist will sit on the computer to use a computer software that will help the geologist interpret those readings to be able to know if there is water below the ground and at what depth and what the volume of the water is. Then boreholes can be drilled to confirm the presence of that water and borehole pumps are installed for people to access that water.
For the geologist who works in mineral exploration, it involves going out in the field in remote areas to stay there for a few weeks typically. This is because areas where mineral exploration occurs are typically remote. In the field, a geologist will collect soil samples and rock samples that are taken to the laboratory for chemical analysis to determine if the soil or rocks have minerals in them. If the soils and rocks show signs of minerals in them, the geologist will drill into the ground using drilling machines and bring out rocks from depths as deep as 1000m below ground in a systematic pattern to define the size and quality of the mineral deposit. A mineral exploration geologist also uses geophysical machines like the ones a hydrogeologist uses to measure factors in the ground that could indicate the potential of minerals even before drilling into the ground is done.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A GEOLOGIST?
The work schedule or shifts of a geologist depends on the organisation one is working for. If one is working for a government department, they typically follow the normal 08hrs to 17hrs work schedule Monday to Friday. If one is working for a mining company, some mines work 08hrs to 17hrs while others have some geologists who have to work in the night shifts to monitor the quality of the mineral deposit being mined in the night. A mineral exploration geologist goes away from home for about 4weeks to 8weeks and returns home for a break of about 2weeks to 4weeks and repeats the process. This is so because they work in remote areas sometimes with no proper communication back home, depending on the company one is working for if they cant afford to buy satellite phones or satellite internet.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?
The job market for geologists lies in four areas and the chances of finding a job is explained in order of highest probability as follows. A geologist can find a job in a mining company, some mining companies continue to look for more minerals around the mine area. Therefore, the mine can have geologists working at the mine and working as mineral exploration geologists around the same mine. The chances are higher that one will find a job in the mine. Some companies are just mineral exploration companies before they can find a mineral deposit, therefore a geologist can find a job here as well. There isn’t a very good number of exploration companies, many of them explore for about 5 years, and if they don’t find anything to mine they close or move to another country and carry some of their geologists from Zambia. The government is another employer in its various departments such as the geological survey department or water affairs department or ZCCM-IH. Non-governmental organisations are another employer as discussed earlier.
The job market in the mining industry is sort of a see-saw, when the metal prices are doing well mining companies want to mine more and invest in exploring for more mineral deposits and when metal prices are low, they reduce labour and jobs are hard to find. It goes in those cycles. Typically, its not a very stable industry, but its worth the risk though.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?
To enjoy being a geologist, you need to be a person who loves science based subjects. In your first year you will learn these and you need to pass them. After graduation, to enjoy work, you need to be a person who loves investigative science because geologists go out to collect data to interpret and make a judgement whether there is water or minerals below the ground. All that needs some good analytical skills and an interest in learning how to use computer software. Not to design software, but just to learn how to use them. You learn them on the job not really in school.

Scroll to the bottom for a list of institutions that offer Geology

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?
As most science based programs, its competitive and entry depends on the levels of competition in the University. Typically, they look for 12points in six subjects and below which should include Mathematics, Science, and English with three other subjects.

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?
When one enrols into university to study geology, they will learn A level science in the first year i.e Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and in the following years they start to narrow down to more specific subjects of geology such as Petrology, Sedimentology, Economic geology, Geochemistry, Geophysics, Engineering geology, Hydrogeology and Mineralogy as examples of subjects to be covered among others

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE A GEOLOGIST?
To work as a geologist, there is no alternative qualification apart from earth sciences based qualification such as geochemistry or geophysics, but typically a Zambian geologist needs to have a degree in geology.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?
Once you study geology, you may decide to pursue a master’s degree in Exploration Geology, or Geophysics or Geochemistry or Business Administration or Mineral Resources Estimation or Hydrogeology. A master’s degree gives you a upper hand when it comes to finding new jobs in competitive environments especially abroad. It’s a sign that apart from general skills, you have taken keen interest to master one area of your job more than other people. With a master’s degree one would become a university lecturer as well

Scroll to the bottom for a list of Institutions that offer Animal Science

WHAT IS ANIMAL SCIENCE AND WHO IS AN ANIMAL SCIENTIST?

Animal science is concerned with the study of animals that are under human control, their nutrition, care and welfare. Thus by definition, it is a branch of science that deals in the management, science and business of producing domestic livestock species. These may include; horses, poultry, sheep, beef and dairy cattle as well as rabbits to name a few. An animal scientist is a person who specializes in the field of animal science at a higher learning institution such as a university or college. When animal scientists understand the biology of animals that are under the control of humankind, they ensure sustainable production and management of farm animals as well as other domesticated animals like dogs and cats.

WHERE DO ANIMAL SCIENTISTS WORK?

In Zambia, Animal scientists can work for the department of agriculture and livestock under the government where they explore the production, health and quality control of animals and their products in society. Non-governmental organizations like the food and agriculture organization (FAO) also utilize the services of animal scientists. They can also work as farm supervisors, or as field or wildlife experts in the tourism industry. In this country, they work to increase the yield of dairy and meat production, provision of good price incentives, and treating diseases like (tick borne diseases, foot and mouth, trypanosomiasis). Animal scientists can also work for companies such as Lubono Institute-Farm Products, Kachema Meat Suppliers and Zambeef .

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

Animal scientists carry out farm management and supervision. This includes advising farm owners on the types of farm chemicals, animal feed and treatment methods necessary to be used on the farm. Animal scientists can collaborate with vets to examine which animals on the farm could be put on the market in order to ensure a good quality supply of meat and dairy products. They can recommend vaccination programs and other animal treatment schemes to ensure that good health quality of animals is provided. Furthermore, animal scientists can work in agro and livestock shops, sales and marketing organizations as they understand the value of both animal and agricultural products.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF AN ANIMAL SCIENTIST?

Animal Scientists typically work on weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 08:00hrs to 17:00hrs. In some work places, the animal scientist may be required to work on weekends.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

The government is the largest employer of animal scientists under the ministry of agriculture. Other places where animal scientists will most likely find employment is on commercial farms and ranches privately owned by the companies already listed. The agricultural sector has a lot of potential for self-employment and as such, most animal scientists go on to start their very own poultry, dairy and livestock businesses.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED

To enjoy being an animal scientist, you need to have a great deal of passion not only for animals, but also farm work as well. You need to have an interest in science-based subjects such biology, agricultural science and chemistry.

Scroll to the bottom for a list of institutions that offer Animal Science

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

Students will first learn the A’ level natural sciences (mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics) in their first year. Subjects covered in the following years include Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals, Microbiology, Principles of Animal Nutrition, Applied Animal Nutrition, Animal Pathology and Principles of Animal Science. Range Management and Forage Crop Production, Introductory Statistics for Agriculture and Principles of Genetics are among other subjects covered.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

General entry requirements are 5 O’ levels inclusive of Mathematics, Science and English. However, entry is quite competitive at University and to stand a good chance of being selected you need to have scored at least 12 points in your best six subjects at grade 12.

 WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE AN ANIMAL SCIENTIST?

To become an animal scientist, there is no alternative qualification apart. You can however choose to study for other agriculture-related programs such as general agriculture, plant sciences, soil sciences or food sciences.

 WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

You can advance your qualifications to a master’s or PhD level in fields such as animal nutrition, animal genetics, animal breeding etc. A master’s in these fields allows for specialisation in a particular field of animal science which increases the job opportunities. A master’s also allows for a person to work as a researcher or a lecturer at a university.

WHAT IS VETERINARY MEDICINE AND WHO IS A VETERINARIAN?

Veterinary medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, disorder, and injury in both domestic and wild animals. This field of medicine provides us with clues on how animal-related diseases like ringworms, rabies or anthrax, may transition to pose a serious health threat to human beings and some plants. Animal rearing, husbandry, breeding, nutrition research and product development are some essential skills taught in this program. Veterinarians also known as veterinary surgeons or vets for short are trained medical personnel that specialize in this field. Their job requirements calls for both practical (i.e. field and lab) and office work. This is because their daily duties are intended to implementing tasks that ensure good productivity in animals, promotion of public health and educating the general public on both domestic and wild animal welfare. 

WHERE DO VETS WORK?

In this country, most veterinarians work in government owned veterinary clinics. Others choose to work in private clinics and hospitals. Some vets travel to farms or work in places such as zoos, game reserves, national parks and laboratories. Veterinarians who treat livestock travel between their offices and farms and ranches. Agrivet Africa Ltd, Petvet Veterinary Services and Serverchem Enterprises Limited are some private companies that employ vets and their assistants in Zambia. Some vets work as consultants for Banks, law firms and insurance companies to assess the health status of animals whenever farmers and other livestock companies insure their animals or use them as collateral when getting loans from financial institutions.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

Vets usually carry out farm and livestock inspections so as to monitor any positive or negative measures being taken by farmers and ranchers. Inspections are necessary to ensure a good and healthy supply of livestock products to the general public. When the need arises, samples are collected in the field, carefully tested and analyzed in a lab and then carefully reported. Vets are responsible for the medical care of their patients (i.e. animals). As such, vets diagnose animal health problems and give medications to animals suffering from infections or illnesses. They also treat and dress wounds of injured animals and perform minor to complex surgery depending on the training. Vets vaccinate animals against diseases such as rabies and advise owners about animal feeding and preventive care to maintain the health of the animals. In addition to this vets carry out client education, for example, vets will regularly advise local farmers to dip or deworm animals in the dairy and beef processing activities.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A VET?

The work schedule of a vet differs on the place of work or the location in which the vet is conducting their field work. Vets working in a clinic or government department or NGO will typically follow the normal 08hrs to 17hrs work schedule from Monday to Friday .Vets that work in the field including national parks, game reserves and farms stick to a working schedule that will suit their field agenda or only report to work if and only when they are needed.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

In Zambia, there are only two known institutions that train animal health professionals. These are UNZA, and the Zambia Institute of Animal Health located in Mazabuka. This means that there is only a limited number of vets and their assisitants on the market. A number of years back, the job market was quite competitive because only the government would employ vets. However, with the introduction of more veterinary clinics, privately owned vet companies, more livestock rearing farms etc., there has been and increase in the number of job opportunities. The job market for vets lies in the availability of the aforementioned vet clinics, veterinary government departments and other related private institutions operating in Zambia like Agrivet Africa Ltd, Serverchem Enterprises Limited, Petvet Veterinary Services to name a few, who’s objectives includes the establishment of better animal health services in remote areas and provision of veterinary pharmaceuticals.

 WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

Pursuing a career in veterinary medicine calls for an individual with an interest in animal welfare. Vets need to have compassion toward animals and their owners and should be able to communicate effectively. The program is firmly grounded in the sciences and so to enjoy the study of veterinary medicine you need to have an interest in Biology, Chemistry, and Agricultural Science.

Scroll to the bottom for a list of institutions that offer Veterinary Medicine

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER

Before students are enrolled into this program at UNZA they will first learn A’ level natural sciences in their first year i.e., Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology. In the following years, their courses will be narrowed down to more specific courses of veterinary medicine such as Anatomy, Animal Physiology, Animal Pathology, and Microbiology among others.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

Entry into the veterinary medicine degree program at university is very competitive. You need to have scored at least 10 points in 6 subjects at grade 12 to stand a good chance of being accepted into the school of natural sciences from where you can then apply for veterinary medicine in your second year. A’ level passes in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics from elsewhere with a minimum grade of B+ may also be considered for direct admission into veterinary medicine at second year.

The minimum entry requirements for admission to the certificate programs at ZIAH are O’ level credits (grade 6) or better in 5 subjects including Mathematics, English and Science.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Once you complete a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine, you may decide to pursue a master’s degree in veterinary medicine or in other in other fields such as virology, public health, vaccinology, biochemistry, human anatomy, human physiology etc. Such qualifications enable the holder to work in a specialised field of veterinary medicine. This provides an upper hand in competitive job markets especially abroad. A master’s will also allow the holder to work as a lecturer in medical schools.

Scroll to the bottom for a list of institutions that offer Radiography

MEDICAL RADIOGRAPHY-CAREER INFORMATION SUMMARY

WHAT IS RADIOGRAPHY AND WHO IS RADIOGRAPHER?

Radiography, or more specifically medical radiography, is the art and science of using radiation to provide images of tissues, organs, bones and vessels that comprise the human body. There are two kinds of radiography: Diagnostic radiography, which is the use of radiation to investigate a patient’s illness or injury, and; Therapeutic radiography, which is the use of various kinds of radiation to treat an illness or injury.

Radiographers are healthcare professionals that use radiation for diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases. They are responsible for producing many of the diagnostic images of the patient that radiologists or clinicians use to diagnose patient conditions.

Radiologists are medical doctors who have had special training in interpreting diagnostic images. Radiology is not discussed in this article.

WHERE DO RADIOGRAPHERS WORK?

Radiographers mainly work for hospitals both public and private, under the imaging or radiology departments.  Here, work involves the use of the radiologic machinery and imaging modalities that include x-ray, mammography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), angiography, fluoroscopy, and ultrasound in order to produce diagnostic images of patients’ internal organs.

Aside from hospitals, radiographers may also find employment with the health professionals council of Zambia (HPCZ) or the radiation protection authority (RPA) working as inspectors.

WHAT TASKS ARE INVOLVED IN THE WORK?

An ordinary work day for a radiographer working in a hospital involves carrying out examinations such as chest x-rays, forearm x-rays, and obstetric ultrasounds. On certain days, they also conduct special exams such as hysterosalpingography (HSG), urethrography, barium studies and intravenous urography (IVU). These investigations are mainly useful in assessing the patency of hollow organs and tubes. There is limited availability of CT and MRI in Zambia but if working in a place where these are available, a radiographer is expected to carry out such exams. Radiographers are also responsible for radiation safety and checking equipment for any malfunctions.

Due to the absence of radiologists in most Zambian hospitals, radiographers may also do interpretation of images or film reporting, though this should normally be a job for a radiologist.

WHAT IS THE WORK SCHEDULE OF A RADIOGRAPHER?

Radiographers in government hospitals work in shifts. Depending on the level of staffing, this could either be in three shifts (morning, afternoon and night) or simply two (day shift and night shift), one shift per day. Radiology and imaging departments are open on every day of the week, including public holidays. Due to continual exposure to radiation, radiographers are periodically given a radiation break lasting a month after which they can return to work.

WHAT DOES THE JOB MARKET LOOK LIKE?

Government is the major employer of radiographers in Zambia. Due to the limited number of positions for radiographers in hospitals, the job market is competitive. Even while that is the case, the health sector is ever growing and there are a good number of hospitals, both public and private, that are being opened. A graduate will therefore eventually come across employment opportunities.

SALARY RANGES AND WHAT CONTROLS IT

Salaries for radio-techs (diploma holders) are around 6,000zmw and those for radiographers (degree holders) are around 9,000zmw. Promotion to senior roles such as chief or principal radiographer comes with higher pay, roughly above 10,000zmw.

WHAT SORT OF CAREER-PERSONALITY MATCH IS REQUIRED?

From secondary school, someone wishing to study radiography must have an interest in physics and biology. As with all other healthcare professionals, radiographers should have good interpersonal skills. This is because they work very closely with patients many of whom are seriously ill or injured and are distressed about medical exams. They need to be able to earn their patients’ trust and put them at ease before conducting the exam. Radiographers must also have a passion for technology and be highly adaptable to emerging advances in imaging techniques. To enjoy work, a radiographer should have sharp analytical skills and a desire to help others.

Scroll to the bottom for a list of institutions that offer Radiography

WHAT SUBJECTS WILL THE PROGRAM COVER?

Some of the subjects covered during training are human anatomy and physiology, pathology, imaging technique, imaging equipment and radiation protection. Degree programs start with one year of A’ levels in the natural sciences; mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS?

Minimum entry requirements for grade 12 school leavers are 5 O’ level credits inclusive of Mathematics, Science and English. Cut-off points vary from institution to institution but are generally higher in universities. Diploma holders in radiography can be admitted to the degree program and be exempted from the initial years of study.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS OF STUDY CAN MAKE SOMEONE A RADIOGRAPHER?

Aside from radiography, someone who wants to work in medical imaging can opt to study other radiography-based programmes such as ultrasound or nuclear medicine. Holders of such qualifications have more expertise in one particular imaging modality unlike radiography which is more general.

WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ADVANCED QUALIFICATIONS AVAILABLE AND WHY?

Diploma holders can upgrade to a bachelor’s degree in radiography where they may be exempted from some years of study. The degree holder can study for a Master of medicine in Radiography and subsequently a PhD. Alternatively, diploma holders can enrol into a bachelor’s degree program that focuses on one particular imaging modality such as Ultrasound and the same applies for bachelor’s degree holders who can as well do a master’s in one particular field. Upgrading of qualifications better positions a person to be promoted to senior positions and also gives an upper hand in the job market. With a master’s, one can also venture into academics and work as a lecturer.
