Supply and Responsible Use of Mineral Resources II - Case Study
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.
