Core areas of emphasis
The curriculum for geological engineers includes the familiar engineering subject slike math, chemistry, physics and mechanics. However, geological engineers also take courses that are focused on the earth - its soil, rock and fluids; these courses freque
Career prospects
Geological engineers investigate things that are part of or are made to be part of the earth, including roads, mines and quarries, dams, petroleum production, railways, building projects, pipelines, and forestry operations. They engineer clean-up and environmental assessments where pollution occurs.
