This certificate will allow geology majors to document additional competencies relevant
to careers in the geotechnical and civil/environmental engineering fields. Engineering
students will gain additional perspectives on the geological aspects of civil engineering.
Students from related majors interested in careers in the geotechnical industry will
also gain career-relevant skills that complement their area of major study.
