Objectives of the Course -Dam, tunnel, road etc. to make use of the main principles of geology in construction
-to provide the engineering geology information
-to evaluate geological cases
-to present the necessary numerical data to Civil Engineering for geology
Course Content Geology, Earth crust, minerals, rocks, tectonics, geological maps, earthquakes, dams, hydrogeology, landslides, slope stability, engineering properties of soils and rocks
Course Methods and Techniques Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
