Graduating Class of 2004

2004 Mining Engineering Graduates

The graduation ceremony for students who completed the mining engineering program in 2003 was held on 29 April 2004. Ten graduating students attended the ceremony together with their family and friends. Unfortunately two graduates were unable to attend the ceremony.

A big effort was made by the graduates in returning to UNSW to attend the event as all are in full-time employment in the mining industry with most working interstate either in Queensland or Western Australia - only one opted for a position based in Sydney on one of the tunnelling projects.

The event provided an opportunity for the graduates to speak on their experiences and opportunities.

Prior to the graduation ceremony, a private function for the graduates, family and friends was hosted by the students and staff in the School.

At the function, Professor Hebblewhite presented the 2003 academic prizes. The prizes were awarded to:

Grant Polwarth. The WMC Melbourne Prize for best overall performance in the mining engineering program
Grant Polwarth. The WMC Perth Prize for best overall performance in the final year of the mining engineering program
Emily McPherson. The WMC Perth Prize for best overall performance in the third year of the mining engineering program
Rebecca Jones. The Stan Sawyer Prize for the best Honours thesis on a topic related to coal mining
Grant Polwarth. The Mitsubishi Prize for the best overall performance related to surface mining.

Congratulations to all the prize winners and to all the graduates on completing their studies. Staff in the School wish the students the best as they begin their professional careers as Mining Engineers.
