地质工程理学学士-骨料和采石工程

作为一名注重集料和采石工程的地质工程专业的学生，​​您将学习如何找到集料资源，在从地下提取材料之前评估材料的质量，以及将其粉碎并筛选成有用的尺寸。您将有大量的现场工作机会，尤其是在采石场作业中，例如钻探，爆破和操作重型机械。地质工程师从事涉及地球及其资源的各种项目。例如，地质工程师可能参与保护湿地的项目的设计。一名地质工程师可能参与了对威胁人们住所的铅污染土壤的清理工作。在婴儿死亡率比美国高出许多倍的世界某些地区，地质工程师可能会开发安全的饮用水供应。地质工程师致力于保护桥梁，建筑物和公用事业等基础设施免
Geological engineers work on a variety of projects that involve the earth and its resources. For example, a geological engineer may be involved in the design of a project to protect wetlands. A geological engineer may be involved in the cleanup of lead-contaminated soil that threatens peoples' homes. Geological engineers may develop safe drinking water supplies in parts of the world where infant mortality is many times higher than it is in the United States. Geological engineers work on protecting infrastructure like bridges, buildings and utilities from earthquake or landslide damage. Geological engineers evaluate the use of naturally occurring materials like clay to prevent the spread of subsurface contamination. Geological engineers help develop renewable energy resources – even in space – to conserve traditional sources of energy. Geological engineers work with the environment to improve conditions for everyone and the world around us.
