Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
describe the geology of the rock mass (visual and microscopic analysis);
assess the quality indexes of the rock mass;
collect rock samples and prepare the laboratory test specimens;
measure petro-physical properties (density, porosity, permeability);
identify the constitutive laws and assess the physical and mechanical properties.
Content of UE
quarry site; observation of structural and geological characteristics of the rock mass; drawings; sampling of the targeted zone; preparation of specimens; petrographic description; physical (porosity, density, permeability) and mechanical (various test types both in atmospheric and under confinement conditions) characterisation; specific topic related to the studied material; uploading of the results in the data base of the laboratory; redaction of a report.
Prior Experience
Mechanical behaviour of geomaterials; general geology and petrography; structural geology; fundamentals of computer programming; statistics; electronic measurements and instrumentation.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q2
Q2 UE Assessment Comments
The evaluation concerns the written report and the oral presentation by groups of students (20 minutes of presentation and 20 minutes of discussion). This last presentation is organised in a presence of a jury composed by all academic and scientific members involved in the supervision of the project works. An overall individual mark is attributed taking into account the oral presentation but also the degree of participation of students during the course of the project: presence when the various laboratory tests were performed, involvement, etc.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
Q3 UE Assessment Comments
If a student failed to get the required credits, it can be asked, either individually or collectively for the entire group, to re-write the report. An evaluation will then be organised by supervisors as for the first session. This last evaluation will be organised necessarily during the course of the session.
