地质工程是一门专业学科，它依赖于地质条件及其含义的使用：土木和采矿项目的设计和施工，自然和人为地质灾害的评估和缓解以及矿产和能源的勘探与开发资源。报名参加此计划的研究生将学习地质工程，土木工程（土壤力学），水文地质学和场地表征等领域的课程。该学位要求至少获得学士学位以上的30个学期学分。在这30个学分中，至少有18个必须来自500个级别的研究生课程。学位课程提供论文选项和非论文选项。论文选修课程需要获得由学生的研究生委员会服务的院系批准的6个学分。至少有两年专业经验的学生可以选择非论文选题，该课程需要3学
The integrity of a bridge, highway, building or other structure depends on the integrity of the earth on which it stands. Geological engineers have the expertise to help ensure these types of structures are built on or in solid ground.<br><br>This program combines courses in geological engineering, civil engineering (soil mechanics), hydro-geology, and site characterization. You will learn how to combine skills in geology and engineering to assist in the design and construction of civil engineering projects, evaluation of geologic hazards, and development of natural energy resources.
