    Hey! I am studying mineral processing engineering at Istanbul Technical University in Turkey. I am a third grade student. I did not do my internship yet, and i am open for your advices about mineral processing.

      Hi Ipek, if you have not done an internship and you expect to only complete one before your thesis/dissertation, you should try to go somewhere that allows you to complete a small project fitting your academic interest and where you also have a chance to spend some time (not a single day) to visit and experience each stage of the value chain. It's a compromise between learning, seeing if your academic interests actually match your expectations by gaining practical experience in that area, and the opportunity to ask lots and lots of questions. This will build relationships, hopefully land you a thesis, and ideally, a job. General advice.

      Hi Ipek, can you elaborate on your background? Any specialization or special interests, any companies cooperating with your department or any contacts via your professors? Have you visited any sites on a field trip? How long do internships tend to be in Turkey, and when do they usually take place (which months)?

    Does anyone have experience with EduMine courses and can tell something about their quality? Are they a good investment?

    Hi folks! Hope everyone's doing well. I thought I'd make the start by asking what made you join this fledgling group, and what is it that you're hoping to get from it?
