RWTH A h U i it C f St d “A li d G i ”RWTH Aachen University, Course of Study “Applied Geosciences”• Geosciences in Aachen are focusing Georessources

• All aspects of exploration usage management protection and remediationAll aspects of exploration, usage, management, protection and remediation

• Construction ground, environment, geomaterials (clay) or water are georessources which will be used by humans

• Engineering geology in enterprises is often in combination with Civil /Mining Ground Engineering or Hydrogeology

• Many Engineering Geologists use exploration techniques from geophysics and many engineering problems are water related, there for better combination

• Aachen concept is a one hand Engineering Geologist with a broad knowledge of Engineering Geology, Hydrogeology and Geophysics, focusing on Engineering aspects of Geology using techniques of the all above.

• Good knowledge of basic sciences (mathematics, chemistry, physics) and engineering specialisations (mechanics, soil mechanics) relevant for engineering geology
