Summary
Methods and methodology (philosophy) of geological works in engineering geology and hydrogeology. Field survey methods, drilling methods, laboratory testing, legislativ frame.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The objective is comprehension of survey methods and tranaction philosophy in engineering geology and hydrogeology. Students must be able after graduation practically and separately suggest, realize and evaluate relevant geological works.
