1. Purposes of development of discipline
As a result of development of this discipline the student acquires the knowledge, skills providing
achievement of the objectives of Ts2, Ts4 and Ts5 of the main educational program "Technology of
geological investigation".
The discipline is aimed at training of students to:
– interdisciplinary experimental and research activity for the solution of the tasks connected
with development of innovative technologies in the prospecting sphere;
– to ability to prove and defend own conclusions and conclusions in audiences of different
degree of interdisciplinary professional readiness;
– to self-training and continuous professional self-improvement in the conditions of the
competitive environment, modernization of production and globalization of economy.
2. A discipline place in structure of OOP
The discipline "Geology" belongs to variable part of the interdisciplinary professional module
(C1BM4). It is directly connected with disciplines of a mathematical and natural-science cycle (physics,
chemistry, mathematics) and a professional cycle (engineering graphics) and relies on the knowledge
mastered when studying these disciplines and ability. Korekvizitami for discipline "Geology" are
disciplines of a humanitarian, social and business cycle, and also a mathematical and natural-science
cycle.
3. Results of development of discipline
After studying of discipline "Geology" students acquire the knowledge, abilities and experience
corresponding to results of the main educational program "Technology of geological investigation". The
student has to be ready:
• to apply mathematical, natural-science, social and economic and engineering knowledge in
professional activity (P1);
• independently to learn and to improve continuously skills during the entire period of
professional activity (P3);
• to identify, formulate, solve and make out professional engineering tasks with use of modern
educational and information technologies (P4);
• effectively to work individually, as the member of team on interdisciplinary subject, and also
to direct team for the solution of professional innovative tasks according to requirements of corporate
culture of the enterprise and tolerance (P10).
The student who studied discipline "Geology" has to learn to define the most widespread
minerals and rocks and to explain their genesis; to distinguish simple tectonic structures, geological
bodies and forms of a relief; to use a mountain compass; to represent morphological types of folds and
types of dizjyunktiv; to analyze simple geological cards, to build to them geological cuts, to make
stratigrafichesky columns.

as the order of the rector No. 77/odes of 29.11.2011.
According to "The planned schedule of studying of discipline":
the current certification (an assessment of quality of digestion of theoretical material
(answers to questions, etc.) and results of practical activities (the solution of tasks, performance of
tasks, the solution of problems, etc.) is made during a semester (it is estimated in points (at most 60
points), by the time of end of a semester the student has to gain not less than 33 points);
intermediate certification (examination, offset) is made at the end of a semester (it is estimated
in points (at most 40 points), at examination (offset) the student has to gain not less than 22 points).
The total rating is determined by discipline by summation of the points got during the current
and intermediate certifications. The maximum total rating corresponds to 100 points.
