Though we all enjoyed the cold winter break, we are ready to put IRE into working order. The first day back, we went to NRRI to learn more about the mining process. Throughout the day we learned about mineral processing. We focused mainly on the liberation of the material. I didn't know they had so many methods to crush and break apart the rock. Crushers, rod mills, and high pressure grinding may all complete the same main task, but they all have their specific application in the mining process. We were also taught the different ways of separation and were able to see them first hand in their lab.
On Tuesday we met with both Ron and Dan. We received word that we will be launching a new project this Thursday. None of us know what it entails so we are eager to get started. We also discussed how we will format and write what we call "Request For Project Proposals". This will basically be a detailed report including an executive summary, a detailed learning plan with both learning objectives and learning modes, and a detailed design plan. We will all write one of these for each of our projects to establish an organized way to complete the project while learning the correlated professional and technical competencies.
