工程地质学既是地质学的一个分支学科，又是工程与技术科学基础学科的组成部分。它是一门由地质科学与工程科学相互融合而形成的交叉学科，主要研究人类工程活动与地质环境之间的相互关系，是服务于工程建设的应用科学。《水利工程地质》全英文慕课聚焦于水利与水电工程建设中涉及的工程地质问题，系统覆盖矿物与岩石、地质构造、地下水及岩体工程地质特性等核心内容。课程注重专业英文表述，旨在提升学生的国际交流能力与全球竞争力，为他们在国际工程与科研领域的深度参与奠定基础。

Engineering Geology is not only a branch of geology but also an integral part of the fundamental disciplines of engineering and technology sciences. It is an interdisciplinary field formed through the integration of geological science and engineering science, focusing on the interactions between human engineering activities and the geological environment. As an applied science serving engineering construction, it provides essential geological support for engineering practice. The English-taught MOOC “Hydraulic Engineering Geology” focuses on engineering geological issues involved in the construction of hydraulic and hydropower projects. It systematically covers core topics such as minerals and rocks, geological structures, groundwater, and engineering geological properties of rock masses. The course emphasizes professional English expression, aiming to enhance students’ international communication skills and global competitiveness, and to lay a solid foundation for their active participation in international engineering and scientific research.
