DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
VISION
Our Geology Department objectively aims to constantly strive, achieve, and maintain a worthy and commendable position in the field of geological sciences. We endeavor to accomplish this in our students by imparting, disseminating, participating, and contributing knowledge, skills, and rational values with a local, national, and global perspective, to them.
MISSION
Our objectives are:
- To provide, promote and sustain an enriching and transformative educational experience for our students with a strong foundation of basics and applied knowledge in the geological sciences.
- To promote relevant pedagogical and research practices within and outside the department to enable our students to think critically, visualize and synthesize ideas with originality and application.
- To impart and imbibe in them, necessary skills like problem-solving, communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills which they may transfer to their job or vocation that they wish to pursue.
- To engage actively with relevant stake holders and society in general, via participation, co-operation, and consultation outside the traditional borders of the department, locally, nationally, and globally.
Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)
The following constitute the PEOs for the Bachelor of Science program in Applied Geology offered by the Department of Geology, Government Arts College (A), Salem – 636007. Applied Geology is the combination of pure geology courses with other courses which overlap with physics, chemistry, mathematics, computing, and engineering such as geophysics, geochemistry, geostatistics, mining geology, mineral exploration, remote sensing, engineering geology and others. Like Geology, Applied Geology is a field oriented programme with mandatory field training/internships throughout the duration of the course.The course offers a viable scope for job opportunities or consulting work in geology or options in non-geological fields, after the completion of the undergraduate degree. Progression to higher degrees is an option for those who want to continue their education for which the higher degree qualification is eligible for relevant job opportunities.
| PEO1 |
The Bachelor of Science program aims to provide to all prospective students a strong foundation combining a broad knowledge and practical skills, of the different courses in Applied Geology at the graduate level with reasonable scope for progression to higher degree programs or jobs relevant to the course. |
| PEO2 | The student is introduced to the different components of the earth system including its composition, and operative processes active in the geological past and present in order to understand the different times scales of geological processes. |
| PEO3 | The student acquires an in depth theoretical and relevant practical framework for understanding the nature and origin of different types of geological materials – rocks, minerals, fossils, and fluids. |
| PEO4 | The student learns to understand and apply established fundamental scientific principles using relevant interdisciplinary skills in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computing, engineering and others. |
| PEO5 | The student learns to apply the knowledge of the different earth materials and related geological processes in geological mapping, mineral and fuel exploration, groundwater exploration, environmental assessments, natural disasters, mining geology, engineering geology and others. |
| PEO6 | The student also learns to visualize, synthesize, apply and integrate field work observations with theory via practical knowledge and skills acquired in the class room and laboratory in order to describe natural geological processes. |
