Learning Objectives

The course gives students the opportunity to learn the discipline of engineering/applied geology and the laws that govern such discipline. The aim of the course is to provide a first overview of the professional activity of a geologist and the basic preparation to obtain the Italian qualification for the profession of geologist. In particular, the knowledge about soil and rocks will be provided and problems regarding the stability of slopes, foundation and excavation analyzed. Finally, the updated law which govern the above mentioned problems/cases will be studied and discussed. Practical exercises and field trip will be performed during the course.
