2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The goal of the subject, that the students are getting familiar with the geotechnical and engineer-ing geological design process. The students get to know through a project work the geotechnical, engineering geological data collection, modelling, design and calculation tasks. Furthermore, they get familiar with practical application of analytical and numerical design methods.
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
  1. knows the methodology of determining geotechnical and engineering geological base data
  2. knows the methodology of geotechnical and engineering geological modelling
  3. knows the geotechnical and engineering geological design process
  4. knows the most important analytical and numerical design methods in geotechnics and engineering geology
B. Skills
  1. able to do independent geotechnical and engineering geological data collection and data evaluation
  2. able to set up a site-specific model according to the available data
  3. able to evaluating draft plans according to given criteria
  4. able to solve complex civil engineering projects
  5. able to choose the necessary analytical and numerical methods for a given task
C. Attitudes
  1. cooperate with the teacher during the learning process
  2. improve her/his knowledge with continuous learning
  3. open to use the up-to-date software and design methods
  4. pursue to know and use of the toolkit which needs for the geotechnical and engineering geological problem solution
  5. pursue to the exact and errorless task solution
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
  1. thinks through and solve independently the geotechnical and engineering geological tasks and problems related to structural design according to given sources
  2. open to accept the critical comments
  3. use the systematic approaches in her/his mind
2.3 Methods
Lectures, practical tasks, communication in written and oral form, use of IT tools and technics, task solved independently and in groups as well, work organization technics.
2.4 Course outline
Week Topics of lectures and/or exercise classes
1. Description of the project, the goals of it.
2. Geotechnical, engineering geological data collection.
3. Processing and evaluation of the collected data set.
4. Introduction of the soil and rock mass, determination of advantages and disadvantages of it.
