Program Overview
Geological Engineering blends aspects of earth sciences, civil engineering and mining engineering with a fundamental understanding of the earth’s surface and near-surface environments. In collaboration with the Faculty of Science, students assess the physical landscapes where dams, mines, roads, pipelines, railways, forestry and other extractive operations are planned.
Company Benefits
Geological Engineering students are analytical problem-solvers who are passionate about the outdoors and are intrigued by digging deeper. Here are some highlights of what our Co-op students can do for your organization:
- Provide case history analysis of environmental and geotechnical problems
- Investigate geotechnical conditions for major works (dams, tunnels, transportation corridors, pipelines)
- Conduct geophysical surveys for geotechnical or resource applications
