11 OUTLINE WHAT IS ENGINEERING GEOLOGY? HISTORY OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY ENGINEERING GEOLOGY & OTHER SCIENCES STAGES OF AN ENGINEERING PROJECT WAYS OF THINKING TYPICAL SPECIALIZATIONS! WHY ENGINEERING GEOLOGY? ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST RESPONSIBILITIES. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN BY THE END OF THISCOURSE? ASPECTS OF ENGINEERING GEOLOGY ENGINEERING GEOLOGIST FUNCTION

12 WHAT IS ENGINEERING GEOLOGY? Engineering geology is the application of geological knowledge to the siting, planning, and construction of the engineering works”. Engineering geology is a hybrid science mainly consists of two majors: Geology and Engineering.

13 Geology & Civil Engineering GEOLOGY: is defined as the science dealing withphysical nature, history of earth, the rock of whichit is composed, and the changes which it hasundergone or is undergoing. GEOLOGIST builds his conclusions on observationsand intuitive reasoning. ENGINEERING:is a science concerned withputting scientific knowledge to practical uses. ENGINEER measures properties and appliesmathematical relationships to reach his conclusion Geology & Civil Engineering GEOLOGY: is defined as the science dealing withphysical nature, history of earth, the rock of whichit is composed, and the changes which it hasundergone or is undergoing.
