The formation of global competences for learners at all levels of professional engineering and mining education as the basis for the successful career and social life has become increasingly urgent in modern fast-changing world. The solution to this problem involves several aspects: first, identification and description of the basic elements and the structure of the global competences within the competency-based approach; second, the interpretation of global competences and their components taking into account convergent and divergent global processes in all spheres of human activity. Third, the development of tools to facilitate the reform of education, to ensure the quality improvement of the educational process, procedures, evaluation of results and ensuring the growth of quality indicators of the results of education.

Mining engineering involves the design, planning and management of operations for the development, production and eventual rehabilitation of resource extraction. These activities draw on a diverse set of skills. University of British Columbia mining engineers have traditionally been highly regarded for their strengths in the technical aspects of mining and mineral process but also for their understanding of the application of principles of sustainability and social responsibility. The current view of the UBC Mining curriculum demands the integration of aspects of environmental and social sciences shaping the future of tertiary engineering education. The solution is developing a curriculum that is focused on key learning objectives that are a reflection of all these external pressures. This paper examines the challenge of curriculum reform and the emergence of learning communities at the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia, Canada.
