dc.description.abstractEngineering Geologist plays a very important role in Civil Engineering by interpretation of landforms and dynamic processes of earth to identify potential geologic and related man-made hazards that may considerably affect the stability and cost of structures. There is a need to invoke interest of learners towards geology and address its importance in civil engineering. Engineering geology course is a part of Civil Engineering curriculum, generally, for the Second Year Undergraduate learners and the content of the course is mostly confined to level 3 (application) of Bloom‘s Taxonomy. The challenge with the Engineering Geology course is that it is very vast to be taught in one semester and is full with new terminologies for the learners to be familiar with. It is observed that the vastness of the subject with limitation of time is not allowing the learners to get the real implication of the subject in the field of Civil Engineering. There is an urgent and dire need to make learners pragmatically aware of the implication of the theoretical knowledge at the actual site. One of the methods to achieve outcome based education in this case is by project based learning. It can enhance the level of learning from 3 (application) to 5 (evaluation) or even 6 (design). One such attempt was made through a small project on ―Geological Investigation and Landslide Risk Assessment in the Kharpada Village along the Mumbai-Goa Highway‖, wherein the learners identified the geological causes amounting to the potential cause for landslide, analyzed the data and provided the possible solutions. This paper attempts to bring it to the light the way in which the whole exercise carried out by the learners as a part of their project work inadvertently facilitated to improve their learning levels, thereby leading to an effective outcome-based approach.
