This course will give the student a deeper understanding of main aspects of investigation, planning and excavation related to projects on and in rock mass.

Knowledge:
- The course will give the student in-depth understanding of methodology for engineering geological field investigations, planning, design, excavation and support of underground excavations and rock slopes.

Skills:
- Based on this course the student will be able to plan and perform engineering geological field mapping, planning and stability analysis, and to design excavation and rock support of underground excavations as well as to plan and carry out rock slope stability analyses.

General competence:
- The student will develop abilities of co-operating on field mapping, preparation of report and presentation, as well as abilities of individual handling of main aspects of rock engineering.
