The Study of Engineering Geology Teaching Based on the Creativity Thinking Training

Abstract:

This article analyses the characteristics of the engineering geology and engineering geological thinking connotation: geological evolution thinking, geological structure thinking, the combination thinking of geology, engineering and the environment, and systems thinking, discusses the relation of engineering geological thinking and innovative thinking (associative thinking, integrated thinking divergent thinking and systems thinking). The analysis and discussion fits to the current higher education requirements of innovation capacity. It comes to a conclusion that practice of engineering geology teaching can gradually develop correct professional thinking and completes the transformation the professional thinking and innovative thinking. At the same time, the students can grasp professional quality and master the entire engineering geology field of thought patterns and characteristics by the teaching. So the teaching can build the solid foundation that they can become high-quality engineering geology workers with the truly innovative ability.
