Field practice of envinronmental engineering B.SC. students in ALSÓ-HEGY

Abstract

The education of the environmental engineers (B.Sc.) includes a high quality theoretical knowledge, practical skills and ecological approaches. A field practice is the best method to get practical knowledge in the nature. Alsó-hegy and its surrounding, where the field trip concentrated, is an excellent place to observe the karstic phenomenon. The report does not follow the time schedule of the trip. The observations are separated according to their topics, to emphasize the didactical aspects of field practice. The vertical caves (zsomboly) are important part of this lecture, because the Alsó-hegy is the famous for their vertical caves. This paper contains demonstrative pictures to help to understand the discussed phenomena. The overwhelming part of pictures was taken during the field practice. The figures of this paper were made by the participants of the field practice.
