Abstract

In recent years, the overlap of natural disasters and engineering activities has made geological disasters a key focus of emergency governance. Undergraduate students majoring in emergency management need to be equipped with the ability to identify, assess, and respond to geological disasters. However, current courses and textbooks on Engineering Geology and Disasters are still designed primarily for civil or geological engineering majors, lacking an emergency management perspective. Traditional emergency management education tends to focus on post-disaster response, but recent geological disaster events have shown that pre-disaster education is the most cost-effective strategy for protecting lives and property. Based on the Ministry of Education’s teaching quality standards for emergency management majors, this paper reconstructs the Engineering Geology and Disasters course and proposes a four-in-one teaching model: "streamlined theory, enriched case studies, virtual simulation, and mock drills." This offers a new paradigm for geological disaster education in emergency management programs.
