This is a virtual work experience module. Virtual work experience refers to structured programs or opportunities that simulate real-world work environments and tasks, but are conducted entirely online or remotely. These experiences are designed to provide participants with insights into various industries, professions, or roles, allowing them to gain practical skills, industry knowledge, and professional networks without the need for physical presence in a traditional workplace setting.
Students are working as a mining engineer in a mining team. The mine has recently made a major investment purchasing a new mining excavator, and students need to investigate if the mine needs to also invest in buying new trucks, too. Students are asked to investigate the production rate of the excavator, and assess how well the mine’s existing truck fleet matches the new excavator.
Students are guided through basic math concepts that are directly applicable to mining engineering; allowing students to look at factors like average bucket weight, loading time, automated truck speed and processing speeds.
