Geology and Engineering Geology

Tsinghua University via XuetangX

Overview

Geology and Engineering Geology is an important basic course for engineering majors such as hydraulic engineering, geotechnical engineering, and geological engineering. The main contents of "Geology and Engineering Geology" of Tsinghua University include: Geology Foundation and Engineering Geology. Among them: the basic part of geology includes the formation and evolution of the earth, common rocks and minerals, internal and external dynamic geological effects, geological years, geological maps, geological structures, etc., which provides students with solid basic knowledge of geology, and can also provide basic knowledge of geology for geological enthusiasts ; Engineering Geology includes engineering geological properties of groundwater and rock and soil bodies, as well as some special engineering geological problem analysis principles and methods, etc., to provide students with a solid engineering geological foundation and rich applications. We are confident that you can appreciate the charm of geology!
