Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
understand the complexity of mining projects;
synthesize geological data and techniques available;
build data bases and a geological 3D model;
dimension and draw the future exploitation;
choose technical means and infrastructures and performs some simulations to assess the economic feasibility of the project (use of the GEOVIA-GEMS software). Concerning seminars, apprehend the different facets of the mining engineer job (industry/R&D);
follow seminars of various technical and scientific levels and make a synthesis of information.
Content of UE
Exploration of the deposit; evaluation of the mining reserves; design and optimisation of the mining methods; choice of basic techniques; engineering workings; investments and operating costs evaluation; actualisation and economical assessment of projects : net present value and internal rate of return; building the project on the computer by a group of 3 to 4 students. Lectures on various aspects of the mining engineering: drilling techniques and reservoir engineering, underground storage of radioactive waste, mining damages and other environmental impacts (vibrations, noise, etc), mining regulation, special techniques in rock mechanics (hydraulic fracturing, rock destructibility, etc), creation and management of deep drilling, creation and manufacturing of drilling tools, underground storage of gas, etc.
Prior Experience
Extraction of mineral resources; design and construction of mining engineering structures; geostatistics; mining economy, rock mechanics, deep drilling and reservoir engineering.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q1
Q1 UE Assessment Comments
The exam is weighted 50% of the total mark. It is organised into two parts without any documentation: a general question to be prepared in a form of a written dissertation and an oral presentation. All students prepare the same general question for about one hour. The oral part consists in customised questions that deal with all the content of the course.
The practical works are summarised in a report to be supplied about a week ptior to the exam date (30%). This report written by a group of 3 to 4 students will be evaluated individually during the oral part of the exam (20%). Weight: 50% of the total credits.
Weight of seminars: 1credit. Students make an individual written report on one of the seminars. The report is a synthesis of information provided during the seminar and must include student’s personal comments.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
Q3 UE Assessment Comments
Project: The exam concerns all the 5 credits of the course.
The theoretical questions can be completed by some others dealing with the report if the student failed to produce an acceptable result during the first session. In some cases one can ask the student (or group of students) to rewrite the report. Seminars: Writing of a new report on the same seminar.
