Engineering Geology
Fundamental concepts of geology, including geologic time and plate tectonics. Interactions among earth materials, landforms, and geologic processes across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Emphasizes common interests shared by engineers and geologists, as well as gaps between the disciplines, such as those posed by the geologic vocabulary. Three lecture hours and three hours of laboratory or fieldwork a week for one semester.
