The second batch students of “Smart Mining Special Program” completed the program in September, 2024.
Q1. What are your impressions of the Smart Mining Special Program?
Q2. Which was the most attractive course?
Q3. How would you use the knowledge you have acquired through this program?

 
A1: Smart Mining promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing without borders on topics related to the technologies that can increase the productivity and safety of mining operations. I found it impressive that we participated in lectures and group discussions through online platforms, as well as during our visits to South Africa and Japan. 


A2: “Collaborative Research Project” involved participants forming group discussions and then presenting to a larger group, ensuring the inclusion of each group member despite diverse cultures and native languages. This enhanced listening skills to understand different opinions and ideas.
Data analytics and AI lessons also provided insight into their value in material inference, where statistical or machine learning methods are applied inthe mining process. AI identifies patterns, trends, and correlations within data to streamline processes, minimize waste, and boost productivity. This is one of the most important skills as the world transitions to artificial intelligence.
 

A3: The main takeaway from the Smart Mining Program is to cultivate the skills we have acquired and apply them appropriately. With experience in machine learning and programming, I plan to further hone these skills using my own research data. This will prepare me for relevant roles in the field and enable me to share knowledge with my colleagues.
