Workshop:	1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Syllabus:	Continues to integrate the technical, economic and management content presented earlier in the mining engineering program in the design and evaluation of a new mining project while taking account of industry standards, community expectations and government requirements. A range of mining projects will be considered including surface and underground, coal and metalliferous deposits. Technical design, project evaluation and assessment of the socio-political impacts of the project are a core focus of the course. Due to the scope of work involved, the project is undertaken by teams of students. The teams are required to prepare and present a feasibility study of a mining project. Teamwork, project management and presentations skills are assessed in addition to the technical analysis and content of the final feasibility study.
