The Engineering Geology major is a designated capstone major. Students are required to use skill and knowledge sets from previous coursework to complete a field-based research project from conception to written report. Projects must be placed into context within the current state of understanding, and results are presented at a research symposium or published as a brief report.

Civil and Environmental Engineering

Chemistry and Biochemistry

Physics

Completion of Mathematics 32B is recommended.

Mathematics

Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences 1 may be substituted with a course from the following range or listed course:
