In this program students will apply mathematics, physics and chemistry as well as the principles and techniques of the earth sciences to such tasks as geohazard and georisk management, design and construction of infrastructure on, through or with earth materials, preventing soil and water contamination, managing groundwater resources, extracting mineral and energy resources, and nondestructive investigation of the Earth’s subsurface.
Students will combine advanced engineering skills with a unique knowledge and understanding of earth materials, volcanism and crustal development, tectonic history, surface processes and deep time to design sustainable solutions to critical human needs. Students will also acquire field, laboratory and analytical skills and training in state of-the-art tools. Areas of specialization include geo-environmental engineering, engineering geophysics, geotechnical engineering, rock engineering and mineral/energy exploration.
The first year of study in Engineering and Applied Science is based on a common curriculum and serves as an introduction to all of the academic plans offered by the Faculty. The choice of academic plan the student intends to follow in the second and subsequent years is made in February in the Winter Term of the first year.
Note: Students in this program are also eligible for the Queen’s Undergraduate Internship Program (QUIP) which provides 2nd or 3rd year students with a 12-16 month work experience. The internships are paid, professionally supervised, career-related positions offering students the opportunity to learn about current advances, practices, and technologies in business and industry.
