INFLUENCE OF COMPULSORY SUMMER PRACTICE ON MINING ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Abstract
Mining engineering education includes four years of lecturing and three periods of summer practices. The practices must be performed at three different mining sides, including underground mines, open pit mines and ore dressing plants. Students are officially advised during decision time of company selection for their summer practice to get better educational results. In order to understand the mining engineering role by the students, the practice should be performed in mines directed and organized by mining engineers. To analyze the influence of summer practice on the mining engineering students, comprehensive surveys were performed on Selcuk University, Mining Engineering Department. Questions in this survey had been arranged to capture students’ gaining from the practices. The problems arose during the practice realization were also questioned for further re-arrangements in departmental future plans.
