The aim of the course:
To make students acquainted with using petrochemical data and their petrochemical meaning.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : summarise the geological processes during magma generation and rock formation and their petrochemical meaning.1,2,3,6,7,81,3
PO - 2 : identify the effects of the geology on petrochemical data.1,2,3,6,7,81,3
PO - 3 : describe major, trace and rare earth element variations and their usage in petrochemistry.1,2,3,6,7,81,3
PO - 4 : determine the geological reason of the elemental variations.1,2,3,6,7,81,3
PO - 5 : apply the petrochemical data to solve geological problems.1,2,3,4,5,7,81,3
PO - 6 : evaluate the petrochemical data, determine igneous processes affecting on the evolution of the rock and their tectonic environment and present the results before an audience.1,2,3,6,7,81,3
