“…The general requirement for Mining Engineering curriculum is "proficient in additional engineering topics such as rock fragmentation, materials handling, mineral or coal processing, mine surveying". Given the proceeding research on data management: (Dessureault & Scoble, 2003), (Benito & Dessureault, 2008), (Dessurealt, et al, 2007), (Kahraman, 2015), among others; concerning the high tech nature of mining operations of fragmenting rock, handling the material, and processing the ore, technology is and should be a key component of the curriculum. These fields of operation management contain many systems and opportunities for management innovations (Dessureault, 2002), (Klippel, et al, 2008).…”
