Geological Engineering Program Educational Objectives

It is expected that within a few years of graduation Geological Engineering graduates of Michigan Tech will have:

1. Secured an entry level position or enrolled in an advanced degree program in energy resources engineering, mineral resources engineering, groundwater engineering, or geomechanics, with special emphasis on applications of geophysics in these areas.
2. Continued their professional development by activities such as:
   
   
   • Taking the FE exam
   • Attending short courses and professional seminars
     
     
3. Demonstrated abilities to perform as effective members of multidisciplinary design teams in the design of effective solutions to modern geological engineering problems and function and communicate in effective ways to meet the needs of a multicultural society in a professional and ethical manner, consistent with the well-being of the public in areas of health, safety and the quality of their environment. Evidence for demonstrating these abilities include, but are not limited to:
   
   
   • Successful completion of graduate degree
   • Presentations at professional conferences
   • Awards for professional accomplishments
   • Continued progress (employment and/or promotion) in their chosen career
   • Involvement in professional societies and service organizations
   • Presentations or other substantial involvement in community organizations (K12, etc.) related to the profession.
