P N G (EME/F SC/MNG) 590 Colloquium (1-3)

The objective of the course is to expose students through a seminar format to a wide range of topics on energy and mineral engineering. The lectures would be presented by faculty, students and guest speakers. Students would be required to write a short summary of each presentation and provide a critique of the presentation. Seminar topics will cover aspects of energy production, processing, utilization, and conservation, and the associated environmental, health and safety, and policy, economics, and management issues. Students are expected to keep up with current developments on each topic and to actively participate in the discussions. Students will be evaluated based on their class participation, and written summary and critique of each presentation. This is a required course in the energy and mineral engineering graduate program.
