Minor in Geology and in Geoengineering
Faculty Coordinator: Associate Professor Anne Gardulski, Geology
Department Representative: Professor Lewis Edgers

The Geology Department and Civil and Environmental Engineering Department have developed a Minor in Geoengineering for non-CEE majors, with the reciprocal introduction of a Geology Minor for Civil and Environmental Engineering students. A Geology Minor will provide engineers with the background to interpret soil and rock data, predict subsurface variations, understand the geologic basis for natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, and recognize the importance of geology in the solution of groundwater and subsurface environmental problems. The Geoengineering Minor will provide geology students with some engineering background to more easily communicate with engineers and to appreciate the engineering approach to subsurface problems.
