Kursuse eesmärk on arendada üliõpilase valmidust ja oskusi töötamaks maailma erinevates paikades asuvates kaevandustes ning rahvusvahelistes meeskondades mäeinsenerina või juhina.

This course aims to provide students with the tools necessary to meet the challenges of working for mining companies as mining engineers and managers in an international setting.

Kursuse lõpus on üliõpilane võimeline demonstreerima arusaamist:
- seadusandlikust, poliitilisest ja kultuurilisest kontekstist kaevandamisel maailma eri paigus;
- jätkusuutlike kaevanduspraktikate globaalsest rakendatavusest;
- kivisöe, uraani, kulla, vase, nikli ja teiste oluliste toormete kaevandamise globaalsetest mõjudest;
- kultuuridevahelistest erisustest;
- teguritest, mis mõjutavad mäeinsenere töötamisel arengumaades töötavates kaevandusettevõtetes.

At the conclusion of this course, it is intended that students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of:
- legal, political and cultural contexts of mining in international locations;
- the application of sustainable mining practices to mining globally;
- the global impacts of mining coal, uranium, gold, copper, nickel and other significant commodities;
- cross cultural issues;
- issues affecting mining engineers working for mining companies operating in developing countries.

Kursus annab tudengitele vajalikud teadmised ja oskused, et töötada rahvusvahelises mäendusettevõttes mäeinseneri või juhina. Kursus baseerub konkreetsetel juhtumitel ja selle fookus on arengumaadel ning võrdlusel Eesti ja Euroopa reegilite ja tingimustega. Kursus annab rahvusvahelise vaate mäenduse regulatsioonidest, finantseerimisest, mäetööstusest kui muutuste esilekutsujatest, kultuuride erisustest, võrdse kohtlemise jmt küsimustest, väikesemahulisest kaevandamisest, kohalike kogukondade kaasamisest ja reaktsioonidest ning kliimamuutuste mõjudest kaevandamisele.

This course provides students with the tools necessary to meet the challenges of working for mining companies as mining engineers and managers in an International setting. The focus will be on developing countries and to draw comparisons between the Estonian/European and international contexts. The course will draw extensively on case studies. It will provide an international perspective of mining; governance and regulatory frameworks; financing; mining companies as agents of change; cross-cultural management; gender; small-scale mining; indigenous communities; community engagement; the resource curse; and climate change impacts on mining.

The student should be cognisant that a range of factors is often being assessed in any one assignment; not just whether the final results are numerically correct. Consideration is given to other relevant elements that contribute to the Learning Outcomes of the course.
