Course Overview
Swayam's Earth Sciences for Civil Engineering course is a civil engineering course that gives the learners a better understanding of the Earth's interiors, earth system, and its process. The latter part of the course deals with the geological hazards and environmental impact, as well as active faults, and their related risk in our country.
Earth Sciences For Civil Engineering online course takes only eight weeks to complete, and it is intended for postgraduate students of Science and Engineering (especially Earth Sciences), as well as advanced undergraduate students. In this course, the students get introduced to concepts such as seismology and focus on the internal structure of the Earth.
Moreover, the Earth Sciences For Civil Engineering course has a comprehensive curriculum that covers essential topics such as fluvial geomorphology and groundwater, landslide and flood hazard, tsunami, and management of risks. This core course has been extensively designed to teach the candidates fundamentals of geosciences, various geological hazards, and civil engineering applications of the same.
