Education objectives
The Master in Geological Engineering (Geotechnical) is structured to provide students with a specialized theoretical and pratical formation in the area of Geotechnical through a range of curricular activities included in the three specialties that make up this area (Geology Engineering, Soil Mechanics and Rock Mechanics). The activities associated with groundwater, exploration and exploitation of construction materials, preservation and environmental risks geotechnical and natural geological (prediction, prevention and protection), which are areas of knowledge of unquestionable importance and timeliness are also subject to appropriate treatment in the curriculum.
It is intended to provide Masters in Geological Engineering (Geotechnical) additional training to enable them to desenvolvimenbto the capabilities compatible with a substantially expanded range of different activities in their future professional life.
