Objectives
Identify and characterize geological materials, massifs and geological structures.
Read and interpret geological maps and geological profiles.
Perform tests for soil identification, classification and compaction control and interpret results.

Know the stress-strain relationships and calculations.
Prepare reports.
Issuing an opinion or conclusion on the work carried out.

Evaluation Methodology
The assessment, at any time, consists of a written test with a theoretical and practical component (80%) and delivery, mandatory, of a report on the work carried out in the laboratory (20%). Approval: in each component, a minimum of 40% of the quotation and a total classification equal to or greater than 9.5 out of 20.
