Geological Engineering Program
The Geological Engineering Program is part of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The Geological Engineering program at The University of Waterloo is unique since more than half of the courses that the students take don't come from the Faculty of Engineering but instead come from the Faculty of Science, particularly the Earth Science Department. The courses that are taken from the Faculty of Engineering by the geological engineering students are taken together with the environmental engineering students. The first year courses for the geological, environmental and civil engineering programs are exactly the same it is in second year when these three programs begin to differ.

Famous quotes containing the words geological, engineering and/or program:
“The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men’s thinkings run laterally, never vertically.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
