BScE students or graduates of UNB may apply for admission to and follow a program towards a second engineering undergraduate bachelor’s degree. 

Geological Engineers play key roles in the exploration, protection, and responsible development of Earth’s water, natural, and energy resources. 

The Geological Engineering Program is delivered jointly by the Department of Civil Engineering and the Department of Earth Sciences at UNB. 

Hands-on learning

Students complete three field schools as part of their degree. They may also participate in two subsidized field trips to international destinations of outstanding geological significance. Students complete a design course in each year of their degree, culminating with a full-year team design project. 

Students may also enrol in the Engineering Co-op Program as part of their degree.

A study of geological materials and hazards for site investigation and assessment of risk and remediation; engineering classification of geological materials, properties and relationships; engineering in the existing and changing environment and exacerbation of natural processes; geological constraints for construction, foundations, tunnelling, waste disposal and mining, with case histories of geological problems in engineering projects.
