Students examine the nature and origin of Alberta’s hydrocarbon and mineral resources, and their significance in society.
Students examine exploration, recovery and production, refining, and reclamation technologies within a nonrenewable hydrocarbon or mineral industry.
Students examine the general applications of one or more renewable hydrocarbon technologies and the contributions of each technology to sustainable resource development.
Students examine the basic techniques involved in developing consumer products and/or services within a hydrocarbon or mineral industry.
Students develop project design and management skills to extend and enhance competencies and skills in other CTS courses through contexts that are personally relevant.
Students examine specific exploration techniques and technologies within the context of Alberta’s conventional oil and/or gas deposits.
Students examine specific exploration techniques and technologies within the context of Alberta’s oil sands, heavy oil or non-conventional methane.
Students examine specific exploration techniques and technologies within the context of a metallic and/or nonmetallic mineral deposit.
Students examine the principles and technologies involved in processing natural gas, refining crude oil, upgrading heavy oils and bitumen, or processing coal.
Students examine the principles and processes involved in refining an industrial (nonmetallic) mineral or a metallic mineral.
Students develop project design and management skills to extend and enhance competencies and skills in other CTS courses through contexts that are personally relevant.
Students develop project design and management skills to extend and enhance competencies and skills in other CTS courses through contexts that are personally relevant.
Students apply prior learning and demonstrate the attitudes, skills and knowledge required by an external organization to achieve a credential/credentials or an articulation.
Students examine specific recovery and production techniques within the context of Alberta’s conventional oil and/or gas industry.
Students examine specific recovery and production techniques within the context of Alberta’s oil sands, heavy oil or coal deposits.
Students examine specific recovery and production techniques within the context of a metallic and/or nonmetallic mineral deposit. Note: Industry often refers to a third category of minerals called structural materials; i.e., minerals used primarily in construction, including sand and gravel, decorative and building stone, cement, clay and limestone. PRS2040 and PRS3040 include structural materials within the broader category of nonmetallic minerals.
Students investigate the conversion of hydrocarbons into consumer products within a petrochemical industry.
Students investigate technologies used to convert petroleum and mineral resources into industrial (stock) materials used in secondary manufacturing processes.
