Welcome to GeoEng!  Geological engineering is a dual faculty program in the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Earth and Atmospheric Science that can lead you to a wide variety of fields including geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, geotech, geophysics, geochem, geohazards, mining, oil and gas, and many more.

Whether you want to get to work via helicopter and get your hands dirty hiking in the mountains or you want to be a sophisticated engineer in a sky scraper in Toronto, this is the field for you.  You are on your way to a career with many unique opportunities including hands-on field work, working abroad, and a high paying salary.  Field trips across Ontario and an international trip to locations like Peru and Iceland are some of the highlights of your next five years.

As a GeoEng in a tight-knit class you’ll graduate with 20 best friends instead of 200 classmates.  Nicknamed by Professor Unger as “engineering’s best kept secret,” we are a rare kind making us all the more valuable!  Work hard, play hard, and get to know and love the people who will be your “rock” for the next five years.
