The course in Engineering Geology is devoted to train students with the purpose of contributing knowledge and solving engineering and environmental issues arising from the interaction of human works and activities with the natural environment.
The course will describe how engineering geology play a key role in maintaining or creating the buildings, roads, dams, and other structures that modern society depends upon. A discipline which needs to develop a thorough understanding of rock and soil including their structural geologic setting and the weathering processes affecting the area over time.
Another primary role of engineering geology is assessing geologic hazards including seismic shaking, liquefaction, subsidence, sinkhole development, flood zones, and landslide activity including debris flows. The emphasis is on preventing or limiting the adverse effect of various hazards to society.
