The aim of the course:
It is assumed that students have knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, and geology. The course aims to provide students understand the physical principles used in electromagnetic (EM) methods, to teach to design EM techniques to achieve specific exploration objectives, to teach them how to write computer programs to model the geophysical responses measured in EM techniques, to teach them how to process and interpretation of EM field data.
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : design electrical geophysical surveys and adapt techniques to achieve specific exploration objectives1,2,3,4,51,3
LO - 2 : write computer programs to model the geophysical responses measured in a variety of electrical techniques1,2,3,4,51,3
LO - 3 : process and invert a variety of electrical geophysical measurements into their causative. earth models1,2,3,4,51,3
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), LO : Learning Outcome
