A '''school of mines''' (or '''mining school''') is a term used for many [[engineering school]]s established in the 18th and 19th centuries that originally focused on [[mining engineering]] and [[applied science]]. Most no longer primarily teach [[mining]]-related subjects, although some have retained the name.
