Course Outcome:
1. Students will understand the dynamic nature of earth, the associated surface and subsurface processes and appreciate the importance of geology in civil engineering projects.
2. Students will develop basic knowledge about different minerals, various rocks and their classification schemes and their engineering properties with their significance in civil engineering.
3. Students will be able to appreciate the process involved in rock deformation and formation of various geological structures such as folds, faults, joints unconformities and their critical aspects in
stability of civil engineering structures.
4. Students will be able to apprehend various geological convents in planning, designing and construction of various civil projects and make critical decision and strategies to mitigate the impact of geohazards on stability of civil structures.
