Numerous computer programs in service in the mining industry are conventionally grouped into programs of general purpose, special purpose, production control and production registration. The Chair of Geodesy and Surveying at the Institute of Mining and Mining Technologies, Kyrgyz State Technical University, has 20 years long experience of successful introduction and application of the licensed popular state-of-the-art computer programs—leaders in the world’s mining practice: Gemcom and Micromine, compatible with AutoCad, etc. Theoretical and practical training on these programs is executed by senior staff of the Kyrgyz–Canadian Kumtor Gold Company. The lecturers of the Chair were trained and certified by the program manufacturer (or distributors). The courses on the programs are divided into two directions: mining and geological exploration. After the comprehensive studies into the programs, a student has skills in creation of data bases for reserves appraisal; optimization of key mine designs; operational calculation of production output per any period of report; accumulation and unification of surveying measurement data, etc. The Center for Computer Technologies at the Chair handles applied problems and trains mining practitioners. Having mastered these programs, a student or an engineer can readily run analogous routines. Aimed to solve extra application tasks on mining, the Chair uses the own programs widely used in education and in mines owing to availability and simplicity. The integrated application of all these software products in education is highly effective in terms of training of engineers and in research and production management in mines.
