Groundwater resources. Exploration and development of fossil fuel and mineral deposits. Hazard preparations and response. There are some pretty crazy problems in need of smart solutions. Michigan Tech’s geological engineering program can help you become the engineer who tackles these challenges at home, across the country, and abroad.
Our program is unique in terms of the skills you’ll learn in three areas: engineering, geology, and geophysics. You’ll learn from faculty in our nationally recognized department who emphasize the understanding, utilization, and protection of our Earth.
Research is available in a wide variety of areas—natural hazards, oil exploration, mineral exploration, field geology, remote sensing, and more. You can also get involved in the Aqua Terra Tech Enterprise program, a student-run business team focused on hydrological characterization (field and modeling), water supply assessment and system design, and treatability studies.
