Course content
Engineering geological field and laboratory methods. The course includes compulsory field course at Snåsa organized in August (week no 33), laboratory testing in September/October and writing of a report from the field and laboratory work.
Learning outcome
Ingress: This course will provide in-depth knowledge in engineering geology.
Knowledge: The student will acquire specialized knowledge to support project completion within engineering geology.
Skills: The student will be able to independently carry out field and laboratory investigations, to find scientific literature, and be able to search the main elements, which are relevant to the project.
General competence: Increased understanding in the field of engineering geology and report writing skills.
Learning methods and activities
4-5 days of compulsory field mapping and 4-5 days of laboratory testing in groups under supervision. Writing of report based on the field and lab assignments (in groups). The field mapping will take place in week no 33. Students should avoid other activities during this week. There will be no other field mapping activity possible.
Compulsory assignments
- Fieldwork
Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course, which consists of a final individual oral exam (50%) and evaluation of a group report (50%). The results for the parts are assesses in %-scores first, while the final combined grade will be letter grade. For a re-take of an examination, all assessments during the course must be re-taken.
