Geological Engineering is an interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate program offered by the College of Engineering in cooperation with the Department of Geology and Geophysics.

The program enables students to specialize in the engineering application of the earth sciences. Students obtain an education that emphasizes courses in geology, geophysics, hydrogeology, rock and soil mechanics, remote sensing, and environmental studies, and their application to engineering design in projects related to rocks, soils and groundwater.

All EGR students are advised at Engineering General Resources. Pre-engineers who are interested in geological engineering are also invited to consult with Professor Benson or other program faculty regarding the curriculum or the profession. Undergraduates who have been admitted for study in civil engineering and who have a GLE classification are assigned both an academic advisor (Katie Bleier) and a faculty advisor. Students should contact the student services office for assignment of a faculty advisor. Upperclass students may change faculty advisors to reflect enrollment in a degree option program or interest in a specialty area. The academic advisor is available by appointment (WiscCal Scheduling Assistant); students may also ask questions and schedule appointments by telephone or email. If you're having difficulty finding a time when you and your advisor are both available, contact the student services office.

The Student Handbook and Curriculum Guide is available in the advising office and online.
