Bachelor of Applied Science - Geological Engineering - Upper Year Entry (QEQ)

Queen's University Geological Engineering offers a core program in physics, mechanics and mathematics combined with geology, geophysics, geochemistry, site investigation and engineering design applied to geotechnical, geo-environmental and mineral and energy resource engineering.

In this program, students apply principles and techniques of the earth sciences to solve engineering challenges such as preventing soil and water contamination, managing natural hazards, extracting mineral and energy resources, and building infrastructure with, or within, earth materials. They will study physics, chemistry, applied mathematics and natural processes such as earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics and mountain formation. Students will also acquire field, laboratory, and computer simulation skills and training in state-of -the-art geological investigation and engineering analysis tools.
