Education Program Highlights of 2003-2004

  • The number of research students enrolled within the Parker Centre increased considerably, after progressively declining in the preceding three years, with 15 new students (seven PhD, three MSc and five Honours students) joining the Centre. This increase was in the face of nationwide and worldwide declining enrolments in undergraduate feeder programs such as extractive metallurgy, chemistry, physics and chemical engineering.

  • The Centre’s outreach program for high school science teachers initiated last year was expanded this year. These outreach activities have been extremely popular, with very positive feedback from the teachers taking part. Over 70 Western Australian secondary science teachers have now participated in one or more of the Centre’s outreach activities.

  • The inaugural Summer Jobs Program to encourage participating undergraduate university students to continue their involvement in hydrometallurgy was a considerable success. Two of the 17 vacation students are now doing Honours in the Parker Centre and three are undertaking hydrometallurgy research as part of the final year of their undergraduate degree.
