Program Overview
MNG1201 - Mining Engineering Foundation A
Course Description
In this first year foundation course, students are introduced to the field of Mining Engineering and are provided with the chance to cultivate and showcase their proficiency in the fundamental knowledge and skills essential for functioning as a Mining Engineering Associate. The course learning outcomes allow students to demonstrate achievement against the program graduate capabilities and elements at a foundation level. This course, together with the other courses in the engineering program core and major, delivers learning to satisfy the program graduate capabilities and elements, mapped to the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standards.
The course is delivered through a series of on-demand, active learning modules. Each module is assessed separately and needs to be successfully completed to pass the course. Student learning is supported through Learning Communities that provide opportunities for synchronous and asynchronous engagement through workshops and discussion forums.
This course has listed co-requisites. The intention is that students complete these courses as pre-requisites (i.e., study them in an earlier trimester) to be fully prepared for this course. However, these courses are available as co-requisites where a student is repeating the pre-requisite course and is confident that they can successfully proceed with this course at the same time.
