采矿业需要不断调整其做法，以应对社会需求的动态变化。由于绿色能源转型推动的关键矿物的增加，关于美国金属采矿工程教育如何准备满足其行业需求的信息很少。本研究旨在提供当前美国金属采矿工程教育和改进领域的工业观点。一项包含封闭式和开放式问题的在线调查旨在征求美国采矿业的意见。调查结果表明，从目前的美国金属采矿工程教育系统合格的毕业生短缺。需要提高的资格包括采矿方法的工程科学，采矿设计经验，采矿可行性研究，理论与实践之间的联系，以及对整体采矿作业的理解。调查还确定了未来所需的资格。在未来5年中，最需要的是能够根据需要获得和应用新知识以及在该领域有足够的经验。受访者，无论其附属矿业公司的性质如何，一致建议应加强行业和学术界之间的合作。结果分析得出了四项建议：（1）让更多利益相关者参与采矿教育计划改革，（2）加强现场经验作为采矿工程教育计划的关键部分，（3）加强学术界和工业界之间更密切的合作，以及（4）整合新兴技术（例如，人工智能/虚拟现实）的教学理论指导下，进入新的采矿工程课程。
Mining industry requires constant adaptation to its practices in response to the dynamic change of the societal demand. Little information exists regarding how the US metal mining engineering education is prepared to meet with its industry needs due to the increase in critical minerals driven by the green energy transitions. This study aims to provide industrial perspectives on the current US metal mining engineering education and areas for improvement. An online survey with both closed- and open-ended questions were designed to seek opinions from the US mining industry. Findings indicated a shortage of qualified graduates from the current US metal mining engineering education system. The qualifications need to be improved include engineering sciences underlying mining methods, mining design experience, mining feasibility study, the connection between theory and practice, and understanding of the overall mining operation. The survey also identified future desired qualifications. The most desired ones in the next 5 years include an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed and sufficient experience in the field. Respondents, regardless of the nature of their affiliated mining companies, unanimously recommended that collaborations between the industry and academia should be enhanced. The analysis of the results concluded four recommendations: (1) involve more multiple stakeholders in reforming mining education programs, (2) reinforce field experiences as a key part of mining engineering education programs, (3) enhance a closer collaboration between academia and industry, and (4) integrate emerging technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence/virtual reality) guided by pedagogical theories into new mining engineering curriculums.
