Bachelor of Applied Science in Engineering - Geological Engineering

Queen's University

Geological Engineers connect earth sciences with engineering – they apply geosciences, mathematics, computing, physics, and chemistry to solve challenges in fields such as infrastructure engineering and construction, mining and energy resource exploration and development, environmental engineering, forensic engineering, and forestry, amongst others.Any engineering project that interacts with the Earth or Earth materials in any way requires the input of Geological Engineers. For example, Geological Engineers will conduct geological and geotechnical studies to assess clean-up strategies or the suitability of locations for an array of infrastructure, environmental, mining operations, and energy projects. They will be part of impact studies for facilities and operations that impact the surface environment and subsurface.
