4. Field Trips
4a. Kennecott, Utah, USA, October 3, 2015
Full-‐day field trip to Kennecott operations to
examine 50 years of innovation in mining,
metallurgy, smelting, exploration and
environmental stewardship lead by Dr. Louis
Connonellos, 50 year veteran Kennecott engineer
and Adjunct Professor in the Department of
Mining Engineering, UofU. About 50 SME, SEG
and other UofU students participated.
