The examination of the mining engineering profession from the perspective of female engineers and the investigation of the profession in terms of gender equality constitute the main scope of this study. This study also aims to identify and offer solutions to the problems based on sexist roles faced by female mining engineers in Turkey who have studied mining engineering and are currently practicing their profession. In this context, a field study was conducted based on the views of 103 participants. In the study, a digital questionnaire consisting of two parts was distributed to the participants. In the first part of the questionnaire, demographic information was asked, and in the second part, questions about the gender-based evaluation of female engineers' professions were asked. Solution suggestions were presented by evaluating and interpreting the data obtained from the study.

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki üniversitelerin Maden Mühendisliği eğitimi veren bölümlerinin güncel durumu irdelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda öncelikli olarak üniversitelerin Maden Mühendisliği bölümü ile ilgili genel bilgiler ve Türkiye’de Maden Mühendisliği bölümlerinde son 10 yılda açılan kontenjan ve yerleşen öğrenci sayıları verilmiştir. Maden Mühendisliği bölümlerinde hali hazırda kayıtlı olan lisans, yüksek lisans ve doktora öğrenci sayıları ve unvan bazında akademisyen sayıları verilerek, her bir eğitim programı için akademisyen başına düşen öğrenci sayıları irdelenerek eğitimin ve mesleğin geleceği açısından çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur.

In this study, detailed characterization studies were performed in terms of physical, chemical, mineralogical and electrokinetic properties of Kastamonu Kure copper ore samples and the circularity, roundness and solidity values of the ore were defined within the scope of particle shape factor studies. The moisture content of the sample was 0.0086%, the density was 4.96 gr/cm3, d50 and d80 sizes were respectively found to be 2.32 mm and 4.48 mm. As a result of the ICP-OES analyses, it was detected that the sample contained 4.24% Cu. It was sighted that the sample contained amesite, quartz, pyrite and chalcopyrite by XRD results. When the EDS analysis results were examined, an average of 6.95% Cu content for the 1st photo, 5.36% for the 2nd photo, 7.35% for the 3rd photo and 11.76% for the 4th photo was determined. Within the scope of polish section studies, it has been sighted that copper is in the form of chalcopyrite mineral, pseudomorph, ridged, very high, in the form of fine crystalline and that the cube system was crystallized.
