Program information
Program overview
Geological engineers use their backgrounds in engineering and earth science to provide solutions to engineering problems within the context of the natural world For example a geological engineer might study fluid flow and contaminant transport in groundwater geo-mechanics the behavior of earth materials geo-engineering designing with earth materials and the discovery development and utilization of energy resources The University of Utah s Geological Sciences program teaches students to apply knowledge of mathematics science and engineering to design and conduct experiments and analyze and interpret data With accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET the Geological Science program ensures that students receive the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context The curriculum includes courses in geological engineering concepts mineralogy petrology structural geology fluid dynamics groundwater and others as well as classes in allied engineering and sciences fields such as surveying chemistry physics and math This coursework ultimately prepares students to sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam
