 Course Objectives
-Know the basic principles which determine the structures of ionic materials.
-Understand the basic principles of crystallography and symmetry. This will help you develop your abilities in optical mineralogy and in understanding other physical properties of minerals.
-Know the structures and compositions of the important rock forming minerals. In particular, you need to know what sites different cations can occupy in each structure. This is important for geothermometry, understanding geochemical differentiation and for predicting the fate of toxic metals in the environment.
-Gain experience in XRD techniques to identify minerals.

Objectives       :   To define industrial rocks and minerals and indicate its place in the complex fabric of modern industry, and to describe the geology and uses to the major deposits.
About the course : No textbook is required. Three lectures per week. Two one hour exams plus final exam. Term paper is required on the evaluation of three Jordanian industrial rocks for the use in the local industry. A research proposal is also required for studying and evaluating one of the industrial rocks in Jordan.

Geologic resources have been exploited for centuries and the rate of exploitation has continued to increase as the world population has grown. The global economy rely heavily on abundant and low-cost energy and mineral resources. The objective of this course is to review the issues related to the use of the industrial rocks and minerals and provide the student a scientific context for judging economic and human needs versus environmental concerns.
The resource use issue will be viewed in a historic context, which will attempt to assess changes in societal needs as technology changes. The geologic occurrences will summarize how geologists develop complex models (hypotheses) for formation of various mineral and energy deposits.
