Maptek conducted a Vulcan training session for professors at the University of Chihuahua, Mexico, in April 2008.

The professors appreciated the chance to become familiar with the Vulcan tools that they will pass onto their students. Professor Angelica Mena, head of the Geology Laboratory, was impressed with Vulcan’s ease of use, workflow setup, data access and reporting tools.

After the introductory training, Mining and Metallurgical Engineering Career Coordinator, J. Alfredo Márquez, commented that ‘giving students the opportunity to access the best technology available shows we are concerned about providing excellence in academic programming’.

‘We are committed to developing the capabilities of our professors, and we understand the importance of Vulcan in the formation of competent mining professionals,’ Ing. Márquez added.

Maptek has supplied more than 500 academic licences of Vulcan software to premier universities around the world. Installing Vulcan in the learning environment benefits both students and their future employers. Graduate mining engineers and geologists can apply the knowledge gained and effectively hit the ground running when handed a task.
