Graduate profile
DescriptionThe study program Geological engineering is part of the study field Acquisition and processing of earth resources. The mentioned field of study includes knowledge related to the acquisition, processing, use and protection of earth's resources. Earth's resources are sources of raw materials and energy in the earth's crust, on its surface, at the bottom of seas and oceans, in underground and surface waters, and in the earth's atmospheric envelope. Identification of these resources, technologies for their acquisition and processing, technical, information, geological, economic, business, managerial, management, production and logistics processes and knowledge about them are part of the field of study. The mentioned study program expands knowledge in the field of geological exploration of the earth's crust, where it significantly reflects new methodological procedures that can be used in the field of geological exploration. Graduates master the geological evaluation of prospective accumulations of ore, non-ore and energy raw material resources. They will acquire broader regional-geological relations to the sources of mineral raw materials, geological regularities of distribution, non-traditional raw material sources, including geothermal energy. Graduates master the methods of research and exploration of mineral deposits, the principles of engineering geological activities, management design and evaluation of geological works. Graduates will gain experience with the analysis of geological data for their use in mining geology and geological exploration. They will acquire a complex approach for the optimal solution of geological-research and mining-geological works. They can propose and defend projects for solutions in the field of search and valuation of raw material resources. Students acquire the ability to spatially understand the given problem with high-quality transfer to graphic outputs, which in geology are mainly represented by maps and sections. In field conditions, graduates are able to mathematically and graphically analyze the issue with the use of computer technology. During engineering geological work, graduates will master the assessment of the rock environment, its qualitative indicators and the processes taking place in this environment. Graduates are employed in the field of basic and applied geological research and exploration, in exploration, design and mining organizations, in the field of marketing of mineral raw materials and in state administration.
Learning objectives
Graduates of the study program will acquire synergistically linked knowledge from the basic natural science and engineering disciplines, an applied set of geological and environmental knowledge and the methodology of exact evaluation and visualization of geological data and sources. Graduates will get a perfect overview of the construction of geological regions of Europe and the world, with an emphasis on the Western Carpathians, their neotectonic risks, methods of their monitoring and methods of remediation of potentially endangered areas. Perfect knowledge of the genetic regularities of the development and distribution of all types of industrially important deposits of mineral raw materials, sedimentological aspects of creation and technological methods of obtaining and exploring hydrocarbon/geothermal accumulations, design methodology, research and modeling of the protection of the risk ecosystem of the uppermost part of the earth's crust provide the graduate of the study program with a wide range of mobility to domestic and foreign labor market. The main goal is to prepare graduates of a broader geological-technical education, who are able to solve wide scientific, scientific-technical and technical projects and tasks, implemented in surface and subsurface conditions of the earth's crust for the purpose of research, the earth's crust and search, acquisition of mineral resources. Graduates of the study program will acquire unique and globally applicable knowledge in the field of basic and applied geology. Knowledge and skills are built on the foundations of the first level of higher education, where the ability to clearly and creatively solve problems related to geological structure, geological structures, phenomena and phenomena created by natural and anthropogenic factors is demonstrated. The graduate takes a synthetic approach to solving tasks and problems, where he can integrate several scientific and technical procedures.
