Course Objectives		Yumuşak kayaçların kazısında kullanılan makineler sert kayaç makinelerinden oldukça farklı özelliklere sahiptirler. Bu makinelerin tasarım prensipleri ve çeşitli jeolojik koşullar için uygulama kriterleri de çok farklılıklar gösterir. Bu ders çerçevesinde, maden anabilim dalı öğrencilerine, yumuşak kayaç kazısında gerek yeraltında ve gerekse yerüstünde kullanılan kazı makinelerinin seçim ve tasarım prensipleri, ekonomik uygulama koşulları ve performansları konusunda bilgi ve görgü kazandırmak amaçlanmaktadır
