In addition to their theoretical knowledge gained from courses, students often practice on land, as well. In the department, there exist a general geology, optics, applied geology, thin section, mineral deposit, geochemistry laboratories and an image analysis system. Those graduated from this department can work in public institutions or in private engineering officies independently.

The objective of the Geological Engineering Program is to educate the candidates who will be able to identify, formulate and solve geological engineering problems with a thorough awareness of professional, ethical, environmental, social and economical responsibilities. The aims of the program are to produce qualified BSc, MSc and PhD degrees having capability providing innovative solutions to geological engineering problems, conducting advanced scientific, economic, engineering studies and explorations for the public and private sectors.
