工程地质学是位于地质科学系的研究生教学和研究计划。通常，学生将具有地质或岩土工程学背景，并且大多数将完成一年的研究生课程工作，然后再进行硕士或博士学位论文研究
Engineering Geology is concerned with the application of the geological sciences to engineering design and construction practice.<br><br>Geological data analysis provides site-specific models from which foundation design can proceed, and recognition of active processes such as landsliding is critical for site selection and/or remediation.<br><br>Construction materials such as aggregates and armourstone frequently require careful geological study to avoid deleterious components, and to ensure successful project completion.<br><br>Engineering Geology has an important role in the evaluation of site conditions for surface and underground mining, and increasingly environmental management in both the civil and mining professions requires a sound geological basis. There is also a key role for geochemical and geophysical investigation and data analysis in site evaluation and/or remediation.
