This seminar course is designed to provide graduate students with the opportunity to search the literature for information on current topics related to their project/thesis. All graduate students pursuing a PhD degree in the Mineral Resource Engineering Program are required to take this course and offer their findings, orally, in TWO presentations to the faculty members of the department and students, in two intervals, before their thesis defense. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. Graduate students might also be asked to submit a written version of their presentations (or a hard-copy of their presentation slides) to the Graduate Coordinator of their department. This seminar course will be offered twice each academic year in the format of an end-of-term-conference in Fall and Winter semesters, respectively. Evaluation will be based on preparation, presentation skills, scientific content, ability to field questions and regular attendance. Graded pass/fail.
