What can geological engineering major do?

Geological engineering majors can be engaged in geological engineers, mining engineers and geotechnical engineers.

1, geological engineer

Geological engineer refers to a senior engineer who grasps and applies the basic theoretical knowledge of basic geology, geophysics, geochemistry, hydrogeology, engineering geology and geological engineering, engages in resource exploration and technical and economic evaluation in the fields of resource exploration, engineering exploration, design, construction and management, and manages engineering construction geology.

The main work is related to geology. Maybe one can only do exploration geology, or mine geology, or coal geology, or petroleum geology. The key is that you are engaged in different kinds of minerals and are good at one mineral. Of course, it is also possible to transfer to other minerals, because geology is based on rocks and minerals, and certificates are universal.

2. Mining Engineer

Mining engineer refers to a senior engineer who has the basic theory and method of mining solid (coal, metal and nonmetal) deposits, has the basic ability of mining engineer, and can engage in mining area development planning, mine (open-pit and underground) design, mine safety technology and engineering design, production technology management supervision and scientific research in the mining field.

Responsible for technical guidance, supervision and safety management of mine excavation construction site; Responsible for the technical management of mining production in various mines, complete production tasks, and supervise and inspect technical transformation; Responsible for the control of mine production costs and technical and economic indicators; To organize the formulation of plans for the promotion, application and development of new mining technologies, new machinery and new processes.

3. Geotechnical engineer

Geotechnical engineers mainly study the engineering characteristics of geotechnical components. Firstly, it studies the geotechnical samples collected from the construction site and the data in the geotechnical samples, and then calculates the grid needed by the buildings in the construction site. Design of foundations, piles, retaining walls, dams, tunnels, etc. Need the advice of geotechnical engineers.

Familiar with the operating rules and technical rules of various geotechnical engineering detection methods; Familiar with common foundation treatment design and construction methods, able to organize construction independently and issue test results report; Proficient in geotechnical engineering knowledge, and skilled in using various geotechnical and structural calculation software; Strong sense of responsibility, self-motivated, careful and meticulous in work, good at communicating with people and full of team spirit.
