ABET Engineering Education Accreditation Criteria
The program must demonstrate that graduates have:

  1. the ability to apply mathematics including differential equations, calculus-based physics, and chemistry, to geological engineering problems;
  2. proficiency in geological science topics that emphasize geologic processes and the identification of minerals and rocks;
  3. the ability to visualize and solve geological problems in three and four dimensions;
  4. proficiency in the engineering sciences including statics, properties/strength of materials, and geomechanics;
  5. the ability to apply principles of geology, elements of geophysics, geological and engineering field methods; and
  6. engineering knowledge to design solutions to geological engineering problems, which will include one or more of the following considerations: the distribution of physical and chemical properties of earth materials, including surface water, ground water (hydrogeology), and fluid hydrocarbons; the effects of surface and near-surface natural processes; the impacts of construction projects; the impacts of exploration, development, and extraction of natural resources, and consequent remediation; disposal of wastes; and other activities of society on these materials and processes, as appropriate to the program objectives.
