The major in geoscience engineering is an interdisciplinary,
interdepartmental, and intercollegiate major between the Department of
Sciences and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at
NJIT. The goal of the program is to train students to combine
evaluative and remedial capabilities in one degree. The program is
rigorous and designed to prepare graduates for technical and management
positions in industry or to continue their education in graduate
studies.
The program is designed to lead to certification as a professional engineer (PE).
