1 University of North Dakota 1 Harold Hamm School of Geology Geological Engineering (Geol GeoE) Forsman, Gerla, Gosnold, Hartman, Ho, Mahmood, Matheney, Nordeng, Perkins, Putkonen Wang The Harold Hamm School of Geology Geological Engineering offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Geology, Geological Engineering, Environmental Geoscience, Earth Science, the Master of Arts Master of Science degrees in Geology, the Master of Science degree in Geological Engineering, the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Geological Engineering, the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Geology. The goals of the undergraduate programs are to provide professional preparation for majors in the geosciences engineering to provide guidance to non-majors seeking to gain a greater understing of Earth planetary environments resources. Active student organizations, Beta Zeta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Epsilon (the national Earth science honorary society), The Association of Engineering Geologists (AEG), Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), The Association of University of North Dakota Geologists (AUG) provide academic social opportunities for students including: guest speakers, outings, field trips, research experience, scholarships, thesis dissertation research support. The Harold Hamm School of Geology Geological Engineering actively supports its LEEPS (Leading Edge of Earth Planetary Sciences) lecture series, which hosts creative individuals in seminars, luncheons, other activities for the benefit of the public, faculty, our students. Facilities The Harold Hamm School of Geology Geological Engineering is housed in Leonard Hall, a facility specifically designed for Geology Geological Engineering. Leonard Hall facilities are superior to those in most geoscience departments at universities similar in size mission to UND include a variety of equipment for teaching research in field laboratory areas such as geomorphology, hydrogeology, geophysics, stratigraphy, paleontology, mineralogy, petrology, petroleum geology, geological engineering. The North Dakota Geological Survey s Wilson M. Laird Core Sample Library is located directly across the street from Leonard Hall houses approximately 80 miles of cores approximately 0,000 boxes of drill cuttings of the Williston Basin, as well as an extensive collection of water well samples cores. The F. D. Holl Jr. Geology Library, located on the third floor of Leonard Hall, is one of the largest geoscience libraries in the upper Midwest. For more information about our department facilities, please visit our website at: Undergraduate Programs Four degrees are offered: the Bachelor of Science in Geology, Bachelor of Science in Earth Science, Bachelor of Science in Geological Engineering the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geoscience in the College of Engineering Mines. Geology Bachelor of Science (B.S) Bachelor of Earth Science (B.S) degrees in Geology are taught in the School, the degrees are awarded through the College of Engineering Mines. A program that focuses on the scientific study of the earth; the forces acting upon it; the behavior of the solids, liquids gases comprising it. Includes instruction in historical geology, geomorphology, sedimentology, the chemistry of rocks soils, stratigraphy, mineralogy, petrology, geostatistics, volcanology, glaciology, geophysical principles, applications to research industrial problems. The students graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Geology typically find employment with the North Dakota oil industry, private sector, consulting firms, environmental remediation, municipal or government institutions, or continue to graduate school. The degree in Earth Science provides slightly more flexibility in electives is often chosen by students pursuing dual-degrees. Environmental Geoscience The B.S. in Environmental Geoscience, administered by the College of Engineering & Mines, combines a broad foundation in geology with a thorough background in related sciences mathematics. This degree provides the graduate with more applied interdisciplinary science skills than the Geology B.S. or Earth Science B.S. Although not an engineering degree, graduates with a B.S. in Environmental Geoscience are qualified to work in various environmental fields, including field monitoring, remediation of contaminated sites, evaluation of natural hazards, site selection, waste disposal, water resources. Continuing at the graduate level at UND or other institutions is another option, with opportunities to branch into fields such as geography, ecology, hydrology, environmental policy. The program includes electives in biology, chemistry, geological engineering, law, Earth system science. Completion of a summer geology field course, although strongly recommended, is not required for graduation. Geological Engineering The Geological Engineering curriculum gives the student a strong background in engineering geology that serves as a foundation for meaningful professional practice. Geological engineering encompasses: 1. exploration extraction of mineral energy resources; 2. geomechanics/geotechnics; 3. hydrogeology water resources;. reclamation contaminant remediation; 5. environmental site assessment; 6. natural hazard investigation. These areas of expertise span the gap between civil, mining, environmental engineering geology. To meet these dems, the curriculum contains a broad background in the physical social sciences, humanities, communications, mathematics, geology, engineering topics. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET ( Courses in the curriculum are arranged integrated to provide the student with progressive preparation for engineering evaluation design. To facilitate the transition from student to professional, the senior year has a capstone experience that incorporates student creativity sociological engineering criteria into a major design project. As the dem for mineral, energy, water resources increases population growth urbanization place a greater strain on the environment, the nation world will need engineers with a thorough knowledge of geologic materials, processes, history. The goal of the geological engineering program a the University of North Dakota is to provide students with the engineering skills geological expertise necessary to assure that geological, social, environmental factors are incorporated in the design, construction, operation, maintenance of engineered structures systems within their natural setting. Through its strong environmental emphasis, the department strives to develop in its engineering graduates keen insight abilities to design an environmentally sound sustainable future for humanity. To achieve this goal, the School has the following objectives for its engineering graduates: Program graduates shall be able to pursue satisfying careers in geological engineering or related fields that contribute to the well-being of society. As professionals, program graduates shall enhance productivity through technical innovations, improve communication skills, acquire new knowledge, including licensure if it is required to accomplish their goals.
