Program Overview
PEO 1 | Geology is a subject not taught at school level therefore the students opting for it are one who has a strong urge to understand the earth and its resources for better and longer human survival. It is the science of earth and environment, concerns with the processes and products of earth and atmosphere, has an interdisciplinary character. Therefore, a strong base of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and is also being developed for better learning for evolving and innovating scientific models. |
PEO 2 | Through innovative classroom teaching with through ICT tools models and demonstrations, students develop an ability of perceiving the real time imageries and processes which develops their logical thinking and communication skills. Propagating their thoughts through presentations and participation in various related societies enhance their cultural- social-national centric thought. |
PSO 1 | To understand the nature of various component of earth system including planetary objects, its origin, its components and operative processes in past and present |
PSO 2 | To acquire theoretical framework for understanding the nature of geological material including rocks, minerals and fossils |
PSO 3 | To integrate observations and theory for describing natural geological process in past and present |
To apply the knowledge of the material and processes in mineral and energy exploration, oceanography, soil and water resource | |
PSO 4 | To apply the knowledge gained through field work for greater understanding of earth and related phenomena. |
PO1 | To develop an in-depth knowledge and skills in qualitative and quantitative research methods through laboratory, field and web modes of learning. |
PO2 | Recognize the need for sustainable use of earth resources, and value environmental, indigenous and other community perspective on geological activities. |
PO3 | Apply geological knowledge and critical thinking skills to identify a problem and to describe a strategy for handling. |
PO4 | Synthesize geological data on arrange of spatial and temporal scales to make interpretations that allow for scientific uncertainty. |
PO5 | Work effectively and professionally in multidisciplinary teams as a member and a leader and be able to manage and analyze complex ethical issues. |
