Shaping the world from the ground up
Build a safer, more sustainable world by digging into the dynamics of soil, rock and groundwater. You’ll shape the future of energy, infrastructure and resource extraction by understanding the forces and physical properties that shape the Earth.
A bachelor’s of science in geological engineering is an interdisciplinary degree that gives you a rare blend of real-world problem-solving skills amid changing environmental conditions. You’ll innovate solutions to challenges posed by climate change, geohazards, mining and urbanization. Gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience that prepare you for a wide range of career opportunities, from resource management to geotechnical risk assessment.
Grounded in science, mathematics and civil engineering, you’ll be able to zero in on design experiences in your area of interest through technical elective courses. Culminating at the annual Engineering Design EXPO, you’ll complete your studies with a team-based senior design project sponsored by a real client.
This undergraduate degree could be a good fit if you:
- Have a solid foundation in math
- Like to solve complex problems
- Enjoy working outdoors
- Want to design infrastructure
With this degree, you can become a:
- Materials Engineers
- Construction Engineer
