sake of transparency, those documents are also part of the Template for didactic design. Please copy
and paste (end review) the relevant information from the module handbook.
1.1 GENERAL DATA
Module Number
UE2212
Module Title
Engineering Geology
Module Description
The module examines geological materials, earth surface
processes, the nature of the earth in its present state and the
changes that earth undergone through time, natural disasters and
climate change. Engineers often need to work with geologists.
This course will enable the student to operate effectively in such a
team by explaining terminology and concepts in the fields stated
above. Financial and time pressures on the engineer necessarily
force him/her to concentrate on the site-specific aspects of
geology, such as the mechanical properties of the ground and the
local risk of natural hazards like flooding, subsidence or
earthquakes. This course provides examples of how such localscale phenomena can be better predicted using knowledge of
regional-scale geological processes. The student will learn the kind
of questions that geologists can answer, allowing him/her to better
assess how much time/money to spend on geological
investigations for any given project.

Duration
Assignments
Repetition
The examination will be done in the form of written exam and may
include exam types like multiple choices, essays, and so on. Special
measures will be taken to ensure the required possible level of
objectivity in marking the written exam, the development of project
paper and analytical paper. The weight breakdown of the assessment
method is as follows:
Two Tests (15% each with a total of 30%)
Group Assignment in the form of Project (20%)
Presentation (10%)
Final Exam (40%)
Objective and Subjective written type
Vary
Individual and Group Assignment in the form of Project and
Presentation
Individual Assignments needs individual discussion
especially those submitted in softcopy
Group assignment will be done by study groups and
submitted following deadlines
A student may repeat a course as per the policy of ECSU on the
following year of second semester

2 SUBSTANTIATION FOR DIDACTIC DESIGN
This didactic design is prepared in line with the overall program output of the Surveying
Engineering undergraduate program so that it integrates the necessary methods such as PracticeOrientation, Problem-Orientation, Activation of higher cognitive processes, Balance between
activation, imparting and mentoring elements, learner-centeredness, feasibility, etc.
Lecture: 28 lecture sessions are incorporated in the module delivery sessions to ensure the students
are acquiring the necessary theoretical and empirical knowledge and analytical capacity they
required to apply the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of highway networks together
with the theoretical principles underlying these procedures. The module is delivered so that the
student is introduced to the structure of this process from the inception of a scheme to its
commissioning. The application of these theoretical principles to real-life transportation problems is
addressed.
Field Observation sessions are allocated for filed observation in order to integrate the theoretical
aspects of the subject matter with the practical ground truth.
10
ENGINEERING GEOLOGY 2020
Assignment and Project: group work is also considered in this module as a vital component in such a
way that students get the opportunity to apply what they have learned in this particular module
towards the overall goal of the program (i.e. Urban Plan preparation and implementation).
