1- What is the scope of study Engineering Geology?

Engineering geology is the application of the geological sciences to engineering

projects. It is aimed at studying the geology of an area for the purpose of assuring

that the geological factors regarding the location, design, construction, operation

and maintenance of engineering works, are perfect for the project

implementation. It is also done during post-construction and forensic phases of

the projects. Engineering geologists provide geological and geotechnical

recommendations, analysis, and design associated with human development and

various types of structures. Engineering geology is a promising subject for

operational applications of geological knowledge. The future lies in this subject.

Opportunities will increase for students specializing in this subject.

2-How is Geology related to engineering?

Engineering Geology is an international interdisciplinary journal bridging the fields

of the earth sciences and engineering, particularly geological and geotechnical

engineering. The focus of the journal is on geological or engineering studies that

are of interest to engineering geologists, whether there.

3-What is Geographic Information System (GIS)?

A geographic information system (GIS) is a framework for gathering, managing,

and analyzing data. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many

types of data.
