Technical Geology
A.Y. 2018/2019
Learning objectives
Knowledge and understanding: 1) main instruments and methods for geological hazard assessment at different scale, 2) technical and numerical solutions for geological engineering design and geo-environmental management.
Expected learning outcomes
Applying knowledge and understanding: apply selected solutions for environmental planning and design of structures interacting with soil, rocks and groundwater.
Making judgements: ability to collect and analyse geotechnical and hydrogeological data for environmental planning and design of structures interacting with soil, rocks and groundwater.
Communication skills: improving the ability to produce technical report and to present results of technical project.
Learning skills: improving the ability for acting as an engineering geology planner and designer.
