| 860-0016-00L | Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources II Number of participants limited to 12. First priority will be given to students enrolled in the Master of Science, Technology, and Policy Program. These students must confirm their participation by 12.02.2021 by registration through myStudies. Students on the waiting list will be notified at the start of the semester. Prerequisite is 860-0015-00 Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources I. | 3 credits | 2U | B. Wehrli, F. Brugger, S. Pfister | |
| Abstract | Students integrate their knowledge of mineral resources and technical skills to frame and investigate a commodity-specific challenge faced by countries involved in resource extraction. By own research they evaluate possible policy-relevant solutions, engaging in interdisciplinary teams coached by tutors and experts from natural social and engineering sciences. | ||||
| Learning objective | Students will be able to: - Integrate, and extend by own research, their knowledge of mineral resources from course 860-0015-00, in a solution-oriented team with mixed expertise - Apply their problem solving, and analytical skills to critically assess, and define a complex, real-world mineral resource problem, and propose possible solutions. - Summarize and synthesize published literature and expert knowledge, evaluate decision-making tools, and policies applied to mineral resources. - Document and communicate the findings in concise group presentations and a report. | ||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisite is 860-0015-00 Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources I. Limited to 12 participants. First priority will be given to students enrolled in the Master of Science, Technology, and Policy Program.
