The main objectives of this course is to:

Provide students with basic information on site investigation techniques and rock material/rock mass characteristics,

Integrate student’s basic information on site investigation techniques, rock material and rock mass characteristics with previous background to solve engineering geological problems,

Educate students to plan, execute and evaluate the results of site investigation techniques applied to a number of engineering geological problems,

Educate students to deal with open-ended problems to enhance their thinking and problem solving abilities,

Improve student’s background through discussing engineering geological case studies and stressing the importance of past mistakes on the safe design of engineering structures.
