Geological
Engineering is engineering applied to human problems that
relate to Earth and earth systems. It is a broad, interdisciplinary
field with many specialty areas such as:
1. Exploration and development of fossil fuel and mineral deposits,
2. Environmental site characterization and planning,
3. Hydrogeology, groundwater studies and engineering.
4. Natural and manmade hazard investigations, and
5. Geomechanics, rock and slope stability

Engineering Mission Statement
Bachelor of Science in Geological Engineering - will provide students
with a broad background in science and engineering, a thorough
foundation in geology and sufficient dep th and breadth in the
areas of humanities, social science and economics, to ensure that
they can f unction and communicate in an effective and responsible
way in meeting the needs of soci ety. Students will receive a
thorough background in applied geophysics, which will support
adva nced engineering courses. To maximize the benefits to society,
students will receive a balanced curriculum of junior and senior
level engineering courses in energy resources, mineral resources,
groundwater engineering and geomechanics.
