MNE 201: Nonrenewable Resources and Human Civilizations

This course explores the uneven natural distribution and varying abundance of nonrenewable resources in the world; how humans have extracted and used them over time; and how nonrenewable resource extraction and use have affected the development of world civilizations. 

Major themes of this course include resource exhaustion, technological substitution, the geopolitics of resources, and unintended social and environmental side effects of nonrenewable resource extraction and use.

"As an out-of-state student, receiving a scholarship is incredibly helpful. It has allowed me to focus on my studies and not worry about financials. I definitely recommend joining SME; they help spread the word about upcoming scholarship deadlines and highlight the ones that mining students are competitive for. Another place I recommend checking out is Scholarship Universe."
