Key Summary
About: The Bachelor of Science in Geology prepares students to become professional geologists or pursue graduate study. It combines geological observations with physics, chemistry, mathematics and technologies to study Earth's processes, environments and history. The School of Civil, Environmental, and Geological Engineering stresses critical thinking and social awareness. Within five years graduates are expected to complete complex projects, address safety and environmental issues, advance professionally, pursue lifelong learning, exhibit professional behavior and improve engineering practice.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can work in mining, petroleum, construction, academia and government service, and take roles in exploration, hydrogeology, geotechnical consulting, GIS, environmental assessment, research.
This program is designed for students who intend to become professional geologists and/or those who plan to attend graduate school in geosciences. It is an interdisciplinary science that integrates geological observations and concepts with a range of fields including physics, chemistry, mathematics, and modern technologies in the study of Earth’s processes, environments, and history.
Graduates of the program may pursue a career in industries such as minerals/mining, petroleum, and construction, in the academe, or engage in environmental consultancy or government service.
Vision
The School of Civil, Environmental, and Geological Engineering (SCEGE) shall be a bastion of academic and technical excellence that develops and inculcates in the Filipino youth the values of critical thinking, social awareness, and environmental concern through state-of-the-art delivery and cutting-edge research while adapting to the ever-changing global trends in engineering education and technology.
Within the five years after graduation, the graduates of the Geology program shall have:
i. Undertaken, singly or in teams, projects that show an ability to solve complex engineering problems
ii. Had substantial involvement in projects that take into consideration safety, health, environmental concerns and the public welfare, partly through adherence to required codes and laws.
iii. Demonstrated professional success via promotions and/or positions of increasing responsibility
iv. Demonstrated life-long learning via progress toward completion of an advanced degree, professional development/continuing education courses, or industrial training courses
v. Exhibited professional behavior and attitude in engineering practice
vi. Initiated and implemented actions toward the improvement of engineering practice
