SMRMINU - Sustainable Mineral Resources

Undergraduate Minor

College of Engineering, College of Science

Undergraduate

The Sustainable Mineral Resources minor studies the interconnected issues surrounding the sustainable and responsible production and use of non-renewable mineral resources. Diverse perspectives are provided by faculty from disciplines across the Colleges of Engineering, Science, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Agriculture & Life Sciences, Architecture, Planning & Landscape Architecture, the Eller College of Management, and Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. Students engage in experiential learning on technical, economic, social, and environmental issues. They'll work with people across disciplines, cultures, and national borders and value differing beliefs as they implement data-driven decision making, effective communication, and critical thinking to bridge the gap between humans' ever-increasing demand for minerals and societies' changing priorities toward the environment and communities.
