A ROADMAP FOR MINERALS PROCESSING EDUCATION

a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and
interpret data
c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired
needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,
social, political, ethical, health and safety,
d. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
g. an ability to communicate effectively
h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering
solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context
i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
j. a knowledge of contemporary issues
k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools
necessary for engineering practice.

In two years this will be reduced to a consolidated list:
1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems by
applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design
process, resulting in designs that meet desired needs.
3. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze
and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
4. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
5 An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in
engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must
consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,
environmental, and societal contexts.
6. An ability to recognize the ongoing need for additional knowledge and
locate, evaluate, integrate, and apply this knowledge appropriately.
7. An ability to function effectively on teams that establish goals, plan
tasks, meet deadlines, and analyze risk and uncertainty.
