Course content
From the list below, the student must either select two topics with content corresponding to a workload of 3.75 ECTS each (A), or amounting to 7.5 ECTS (B):
- Mining engineering (A) (professor Hakan Basarir),
- Resource and reserve modelling (A) (professor Steinar Ellefmo),
- Deep sea mining (A) (professor Steinar Ellefmo),
- Mineral resource management (A) (professor Steinar Ellefmo),
- Coal mining methods (A and B) (professor Charlie C. Li),
- Applied rock mechanics (A and B) (professor Charlie C. Li),
- Minerals engineering (A) (professor Rolf Arne Kleiv),
- Chemical analysis (A) (associate professor Maria Thornhill),
- Mineral resources geology (A and B) (professor Rune B. Larsen),
- Mineral magnetism applied to mineral exploration (A and B) (professor Suzanne McEnroe),
- Process mineralogy (A) (associate professor Kurt Aasly),
- Geochemistry (A and B) (associate professor Bjørn Eske Sørensen).
An ordinary course (7.5 ECTS) may replace the specialization course, after approval by the supervisor of the specialization project, and the Faculty of Engineering.
Learning outcome
Ingress: This course will provide in-depth knowledge in the field.
Knowledge: The student will acquire specialized knowledge in support of project completion in the field.
Skills: The student will be able to find scientific literature and draw out the main elements that are relevant to the project.
General competence: Increased understanding of the field.
Learning methods and activities
Topics are normally given as supervised self study, but can also include exercises, seminars or free-standing lectures. In some modules (fieldwork), a report, presentation or similar may be part of the assessment, in addition to an oral exam. Information about this (including weighting) will be given at course start. The course will be held in English if international students attend.
Further on evaluation
If the course is based on two modules (which have to have the same form of assessment), the grade in the course will be based on an exam covering both modules. However, in order to pass the course, both modules must receive a passing score.
