Goals Teaching geology engineering students some programs known in geology, teaching data bases of programs in different areas of geology. They show the applications and implementations of the packet programs prepared so that they can make short programs for them to solve the problems in the geology by using the programming information they have already obtained. Furthermore, in their professional lives, it is possible to collect geological data in electronic media and use them with different programs. They are able to conduct their work using geological schedules in electronic environment. It is the aim and goal of the course to teach students how to use electronic data processing and geological package programs increasingly electronic and to prepare them for business life to be successful in business life.
Course Content The course is both theoretical and practical. The programs used in geology are explained to the students by explaining how the existing package programs are prepared and their main structures, program blocks, their algorithms principles in solving geological problems are explained and their usage is taught. Besides these, the formation of geological database and the availability of this database in different programs are explained. To students; geology programs: Global-mapper, Trackmaker, Surfer programs working on CBS, GPS and electronic mapping database; Freehand program for drawing; M-tech, Log-plot programs for well logging drawings; Triplot-Tridraw programs for graphical displays; Stereo-Net - stereoscopic projection for solving structural geological problems, Rose-crack, rose diagram; The mineral identification database is outlined in the Pol-Mic program. Such programs are shown in excel and other windows based utilities for database creation.
Learning Outcomes 1) The introduction of the Surfer program, the description of the menus, the use of the files prepared using the sample database are described.
2) The Globalmapper program teaches how to create and use a database.
3) Using Arcgis, Esri, Trackmaker programs, implementation of maps, geological map drawing, real-time gps database creation
