On successful completion of the program the graduate should be able to:

a1. Demonstrate detailed theoretical and practical knowledge of the core courses, and review fun-damentals and techniques related to the fields of chemistry and geology.

a2. Recognize the origin of Earth and the difffernt rocks, minerals, and earth resourse.

a3. Employ concepts of basic sciences and collateral subjects in order to realize the major pro-cesses of chemistry and geology.

a4. Review the fundamentals of systematic paleontology of the different macro-invertebrate phyla and the application of microfossils, and their applications in Petroleum prospection.

a5. Demonstrate basic principles and procedures used in chemical analyses as well as in charac-terization and structural investigation of compounds and earth materials.

a6. Identify the different rock units and ore deposits and their distribution and genesis on basis of the plate tectonics concept.

a7. Grow solid knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological processes operating on and within the Earth.

a8. Demonstrate the detection and mapping of subsurface boundaries of normally simple geome-try, a9. Identify significant physical properties of each subsurface units and measuring the small varia-tions in the gravitational field from point at the surface of the earth.

a10. Express sufficient  ِknowledge about sampling and preparing of the samples for chemical anal-yses, spectrochemical analyses and different methods of the geochemical analyses.
