| Objectives of the Course | |||||
| Aims to enable the geology students to utilise computers to solve geological problems and prepare professional reports. The students are expected to learn how to convert geological information acquired from different fields of geology into digital inputs, and to be able draw geological maps, columnar sections, geological sections, and structural diagrams such as rose- and contour diagrams. | |||||
| Learning Outcomes | PO | MME | |
| The students who succeeded in this course: | |||
| LO-1 | Be able to draw any kinds of geological maps, sections and sketches. |
PO-2 An ability to identify, formulate, and solve geological engineering problems and knowledge of contemporary issues. PO-3 An ability to design field experiments, as well as analyze and interpret data for a predifined engineering purpose. PO-4 An ability to obtain to determine, identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems and with this purpose in mind, to be able to choose proper methods of analysis and modeling. PO-5 An ability to acquire to design and use modern tools and products which are developed for earth sciences and engineering practices in a way that meets certain needs. PO-6 An ability to design and carry out experiments, collect data, analyze results and interpret them in order to investigate problems of geological engineering. |
