Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs)
As Applied Geology is partly interdisciplinary, the student is provided with courses which bridge both geology and other natural sciences as geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, palaeontology, and others. The broad course objectives and teaching methodology are outlined under the appropriate courses and papers. After the successful completion of the Master of Science in Applied Geology program the student acquires the following programme specific outcomes (semester wise):
| PSO1 | In the first semester, students acquire knowledge of the advanced concepts and applied components of Mineralogy, Geomorphology, and Paleontology & Stratigraphy. There are two major based electives for this semester: Petroleum Geosciences and Geology of Tamil Nadu. Petroleum Geosciences has been designed to include advanced topics relevant to petroleum industry exploration practices. The Geology of Tamil Nadu paper is detailed with updated and relevant topics for field geology, mapping, and competitive examinations. |
| PSO2 | In the second semester, they are introduced to advanced topics in Structural Geology & Geotectonics, Economic Geology & Mineral Economics, and Exploration Geophysics. There are two major based electives for this semester: Mineral resources of India and Problems in Geology for competitive examinations. The Mineral resources of Tamil Nadu elective deals with relevant and updated topics as per its title. The Problems in Geology for competitive examinations elective deals with the relevant geology based mathematical problems as per its title.
There are two practical papers common to both semesters: the first practical is concerned with Structural Geology, Stratigraphy, Remote Sensing & GIS; and the second practical with Advanced Crystallography & Mineralogy. The mandatory field programs for the first year emphasize either geological mapping or field based study of important geological formations. The student gains a working knowledge of identifying, assessing, and recognizing the different geological materials, handling field instruments and equipments, mapping the varied features, structures and others, in the field with emphasis of their origin and configuration. The student can map the field data for practice and later use in their project or other related work. He/she can identify, interpret, and critically evaluate existing geological maps. The project work component is initiated after confirmed admission of students at the start of the second semester. |
