ABSTRACT
Perhaps more so than in any aspect of engineering study, field work is a key element in the teaching of engineering geology (Kern and Carpenter, 1984; Orion and Hoffstein, 1991; James and Clark, 1993). However, the approach to field trips must change as the needs of students and the operation environments of learning institutions change (Prather, 1989; Giles and Whitworth, 2006).
