Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The main goal of this subject is to make the students acquainted with the history and development of the natural and montaneous sciences from the firsts to present. The students gain basic knowledge about the history of human evolution and its relation to the nature. The subject is especially intent on the problems of human relation to the mineral raw materials, their exploitation, processing and utilization. These have been main factors informing the development of the whole human society from the beginnings to the present day. The students can gain overview about particular periods of human evolution and its relation to natural and montaneous science forming, they will be able to describe, characterize and judge their importance for the development of human society by use of the comparative analysis. They have to learn to ilustrate and explain the importance of mining for development of the other branches of human actvity immediately or less connected with mining by use of practical examples. They have to learn to apply gained theoretical knowledge and experience by the presentation of their seminary projects within the frame of practical tutorials. The important part of tutorials is also discussion about theme dated up. The student must be able to state their elected solution processes. The form of public presentation is one of ways how to develop student´s ability to demonstrate their work and state their cases, to analyse elected solution processes and achieved results and to point out this knowledge, which will be the contribution to their next professional activity.
