This seminar course was taught to first-year Geological Engineering students who are introduced to their new major. Students learn about key geological processes such as weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and tectonics, as well as the properties and behavior of Earth materials including rocks, minerals, soils, and groundwater. Students explore various geological hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and floods, and learn how to assess and mitigate their impact on engineering projects and human settlements. The course was taught in a seminar-style format on selected topics in geological engineering.
