TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION IN LEARNING AND TEACHING (TILT)

Mining engineering education is multidisciplinary and requires the learning of operational practices for engineering design, production planning and maintenance, in addition to the theoretical knowledge required in these areas. Moreover, the world-class operations are located in North America, Australia, South America and South Africa. The availability and development of current telecommunication technology merging internet, video-conferencing, and visualisation tools provide a great opportunity to implement these tools in the learning and teaching environment at Imperial College for teaching the best practice in mining engineering operations on a global scale.
