Student Learning Outcomes
The offered interdisciplinary courses aim to provide the students with an applied understanding of how to utilize geophysical, geochemical and hydrogeological techniques to evaluate, remediate, and monitor the impact or potential impact of environmental changes.
Learning Outcome 1:
The student will learn to integrate the geological context of a study site with the observations and analyses from hydrogeology, geochemistry and geophysics.
Learning Outcome2:
Students will be able to document the composition and stratigraphy of a study site using outcrop and core information together with (near)surface geophysical techniques such as reflection seismic and ground penetrating radar techniques.
Learning Outcome 3:
Students will be familiarized with various aspects of hydrological and geological hazards.
Learning Outcome 4:
Students will learn the techniques of an environmental site assessment including geochemical and hydrological analyses and write a report for clients or government.
Learning Outcome 5:
Students will learn the most up-to-date geochemical techniques for assessing hazards such a ground water contamination and spills.
Learning Outcome 6:
Students can elect to be prepared for the Professional Geology License in the State of Florida.
Learning Outcome 7:
Students will learn the skills to analyze and break down the interconnections between different types of data, both visually and analytically using different plotting and statistical methods.
Learning Outcome 8:
Students will learn how to acquire and process drone images for site evaluation and mapping purposes.
