Final mark weighting = Portfolio(100%)

Purpose To familiarize the student with a metallurgical plant environment, including operation of equipment and working shifts. To introduce the student to industrial safety and health and to environmental aspects. To expose the student to a specific process that is relevant to the field of extraction metallurgy. The purpose of the module is to align the theoretical knowledge gained, with practical industry based applications relative to the level of the qualification.

Content Plant induction (including health and safety and company rules). Integration into a shift team that works in a specific section of the plant. Possible transfer to another team that works in another section. Transfer of certain operational duties and responsibilities to the trainee student, which could include a supervisory position once he has acquired sufficient knowledge and skills (shift leader). At the end of the six-month period, the student has to compile a report that includes, typically, a process description of the plant where he worked and his personal experience in respect to technical aspects and human relations. Orientation: Company Orientation: Safety and First Aid, Basic Hand Skills, Measuring Instruments, Computer Components, Circuit Diagrams, Network Administration, Application Programming, General Administration and Report Writing, Report Writing.
