            Conclusions

            This review represents an important part of the work being done by the
            IMPC Commission on Education to establish how well available education
            programs match industry needs.

            There is a lot of variety  in duration,  content and focus of minerals
            engineering  undergraduate programs. This means that  the ongoing
            professional development needs will not be the same for all graduates.
