A ROADMAP FOR MINERALS PROCESSING EDUCATION

There are some strong and consistent messages coming through about
how to deliver good mineral processing education. Firstly, programs
must attract, then develop good students. They need high quality faculty
who follow leading educational practices to deliver current, relevant
programs. University/Industry exchange is essential to ensure relevance.
Finally, ongoing professional education is essential to address any gaps in
undergraduate education and enable graduates to specialise and adapt to
changing technology needs.

The ROADMAP presents a simple, 5-page summary of the essential elements
of mineral processing education. It will be useful for anyone reviewing
professional competencies, benchmarking programs or developing career
plans, such as regulators, professional societies and accrediting bodies.
