Electives (Class of 2022)

The Geological Engineering student requires a total of 17.5 TECHNICAL ELECTIVE (TE) CREDITS (210 AUs). These are typically, (but not exclusively) taken as 5 TE elective courses with a minimum average of 3.5 Credits or 42 AUs per course.  These courses can be taken at any point during the program to accommodate timetabling but normally only in third and fourth year.  Students should plan to ensure that prerequisite and corequisite requirements are met for the full suite of TE or CS electives they wish to take during their program.  Students should note that a reduction of total course load to less than 80% of the normal load may prevent them from holding Queen’s University scholarships.

It is mandatory that at least 3.5 Credits of Technical Electives (TE) be taken from the following list:  APSC 381, APSC 480, CIVL 215, CIVL 250, CIVL 341, CIVL 443, CIVL 471, GEOE 413, GEOE 462, MECH 270, MINE 321, or MINE 469.

Complementary Studies

Refer to the Complementary Studies   section of this calendar for courses that may be taken for all Engineering programs. For the Geological Engineering Program, the Engineering Economics course is APSC 221  , and the Communications course is APSC 293   in addition to first year program and the three Complementary Studies courses (as above): 2 from List A and 1 from Lists A,B,C, or D.
