This course studies earth materials and processes from an engineering point of view through case histories and problem sets. The course develops a geological knowledge for applications to any physical environment and provides an appreciation of the impact of engineering work on the environment. Topics include mineral and rock identification, the rock cycle, structural geology and tectonics, geology of Canada, effects of water, ice and wind. Students are also introduced to the concept of geologic time, topographic and geologic maps, and the basic principles and tools used to determine geologic history. [Offered as: CIVE 153 (W), EARTH 153 (S), ENVE 153 (S), GEOE 153 (S)]

“i'm in the arts faculty but i would like to take a course in anything that has to do with astronomy or seismology. are there any that you guys recommend?”
u/Laeriana: “… You could also consider EARTH 153 instead of 121, which is likely to have a more seismological focus due to the engineering applications and considerations, but I know most folks go for the ease of 121. …”
