MINERALS INDUSTRY EDUCATION AND TRAINING II
Mineralogy
Sampling Theory and Practice
The top three that could be learned on the job (i.e. not needed in the
undergraduate curriculum), were:
Metallurgical Accounting,
Process Control
Materials Handling
Because the survey group consisted of roughly half academics and half
industry practitioners, it was considered important to see whether the
ratings changed when the academics were removed from the sample.
Results from filtered sub-sample were reviewed to check this. Figure 4
shows the two data sets – the full survey sample and the filtered sub-
sample.
