Engineering Geology Certificate

Engineering Geology

This certificate will allow geology majors to document additional competencies relevant to careers in the geotechnical and civil/environmental engineering fields. Engineering students will gain additional perspectives on the geological aspects of civil engineering. Students from related majors interested in careers in the geotechnical industry will also gain career-relevant skills that complement their area of major study.
