In this program, the world is your classroom. Geological Engineering combines Earth Sciences with Civil Engineering; you’ll test your skills on field trips to remote and exotic locations like northern Ontario and Peru while learning how to apply geological knowledge to engineering design.

In first year, you’ll develop a foundation of mathematics, geology, and civil engineering. By upper years, you’ll have the skills to solve a real-world problem with your fourth year design project, tackling anything from sustainable mine design to landslide protection systems. Top it off with hands-on labs and two years of work experience, and you’ll be ready to design tomorrow’s subsurface infrastructure, improve safety from geohazards, and develop our natural resources.
