Economic Geology 1. [Watson, 12.] Required for C. E. and E. M.
The studies of this class constitute a course in General Geology
designed to meet the especial needs of the Engineering student. The
divisions of Dynamical, Structural, and Physiographical Geology are
covered in considerable detail. Special emphasis is given to the instruction
on the common rock-forming minerals and rocks, building
stones and ores. Three lectures are given each week, with nine
additional hours for laboratory and field work and private study.
To gain the full benefit of this course some preliminary knowledge
of Physical Geography is essential. Students of Civil and Mining
Engineering are advised to devote the Summer Vacation of the Second
Year to a thorough review of this important topic.
