INTRODUCTION

The Department of Geology, University of Karachi is one of the oldest institutions for teaching geology in the country which started functioning in 1954. The journey of progress and development is still continued since the establishment of the department. Staff members obtaining higher degrees and advanced trainings imparted their experience and knowledge to the young future geologists. The department is determined to keep the pace of development of the field of geology and has introduced a variety of subjects like Geochemistry, Petroleum Geology, Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Marine Geology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Geology.

The department of Geology has produced a large number of graduates. Most of our graduates hold key positions in national and multinational organizations and have made significant contribution in their field of specialization. Department has good history in producing M. Phil.s and Ph.D.s A number of research projects in collaboration with national institutions and multinational companies are in progress. Staff members of the department have also published numerous research articles in journal of national and international repute having high impact factor.

The department has an impressive geology museum which houses a large collection of valuable rocks fossils and mineral specimen. The department has a wide range of advanced laboratories facilities. There are well equipped research/teaching Geochemistry, Sedimentology, Economic Geology, Hydrogeology, Engineering Geology, Geophysics and Environmental Geology. The department also has a seminar and a reference library with a reasonable collection of books and journals.

The department also organizes technical lectures and seminars, conducted by professionals to develop sound knowledge and skills in the students for their career building. Students also participate in student chapters of many renowned/ learned societies of geological orientation such as AAPG, PAPG, SPE, KUGAA and SEGMITE. Geological field works in the selected areas of the country as an essential part of the curriculum are conducted by the faculty for students‟ practical training.

PROGRAM MISSION, OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES

Criterion-1: Program Mission, Objectives and Outcomes

Mission Statement of the Department of Geology:

The mission of our department is to provide high-quality Graduate and Postgraduate education leading to Ph.D. It is our aim to achieve excellence in teaching and research to interact with society. The department provides sound geological knowledge, which is used to pursue a meaningful career in different disciplines of geosciences and train future professional geologists for the country. Our mission is also to produce competent manpower to compete the challenges around the Globe. For good liaison among academia and industry, we strive to attach our students in different phases of training and research during summer internship. We focus on development and management of natural resources, assessment of natural hazards, environmental issues and all other related problems of geology, especially in Sindh and Balochistan. The department conducts research and management in areas of the ores, minerals, fuels, water and building stones that have great societal impact on the economy of the country. In support of our research and teaching mission, we maintain collection and display of minerals, rocks, fossils, maps and models in our museum, could be used in studies and research. For postgraduate works we have latest analytical and computing facilities.

Mission Statement of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Program:

The mission of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Program is to enable students to communicate and understand the terms / technologies, concepts, fundamentals of the subject, to give training in basic geological field work and prepare them for advance courses in M.Sc.

Objectives of the Program:

1. Social development of the students 2. To develop communication (oral, written and computer) skills 3. Students should know about the basic concept of the subject and their application. 4. Prepare students for Geological field work. 5. Prepare students for identification and analyzing geo-materials (minerals, ores, rocks, fossils etc.) 6. To develop students‟ approach/ground for the selection of specialized courses in MSc. or for future research.
