Students examine modern sustainable development issues in supplying mineral resources for todays society. Through environmental, societal, and economic perspectives, students will consider complex and interrelated sustainable development issues applicable to many disciplines within the context of supplying minerals for society. The students will consider how sustainable development issues in various industrialized and developing nations have shaped the communities and the environment in which they operate. Students will also reflect on how their own background influences their perceptions of lessons learned from other nations and adjust their perspective to align sustainable development with a global community. This will be done through lectures, role playing, discussions, and research into sustainability topics.
