Course learning outcomes

1. 1

   CLO 1: This subject provides the student with basic knowledge about the earth's structure, composition, geological processes (endogenous and exogenous) and their importance in the mining industry. at the end of the course, the student is able to classify rocks and minerals, read geological maps and interpret tectonic processes. the subject covers the historical development of the earth, the formation of different rock layers and their relationship with the formation of minerals. the student evaluates the impact of geological processes on the safety and efficiency of mining operations. thus, the student acquires geological thinking and basic training necessary for mining engineering.
