From some of the farthest corners of the Earth to the most tech-savvy environments, Geological Engineering offers adventure and the ability to make a difference.
Students can harness the physical mechanics of the earth’s surface to solve complex problems. Ensure the safety of dams and pipelines, assess risks for landslides and earthquakes, remove hazardous waste from groundwater, and more.
Study geology through an engineering lens with extensive field courses that’ll take students from the University of Waterloo’s campus to northern Ontario and even to locations like Peru!
The University of Waterloo’s program is one of only two in Ontario. Students will take Civil Engineering classes where they will learn design and problem-solving skills. Students will also take Earth Sciences classes to acquire a solid background in geosciences. Meanwhile, through co-op, students will gain two years of related work experience.
Students who don’t want to be stuck at a desk all day they will have the opportunity to examine geological processes first-hand through field courses.
When students graduate, their degree can take them around the world — working in natural resource and mineral exploration, hazard waste removal, groundwater management, infrastructure planning, and more.

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was first published in June 2003 by the Center for World-Class Universities (CWCU), Graduate School of Education (formerly the Institute of Higher Education) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and updated on an annual basis
The "Webometrics Ranking of World Universities" is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. CSIC is among the first basic research organizations in Europe. The CSIC consisted in 2006 of 126 centers and institutes distributed throughout Spain.
