I'm interested in computers. An awards banquet held at the spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center capped the conference.
Geological engineering integrates two disciplines - geology and engineering.
Geologists study the earth - its origins, its composition, and its evolution. Engineers apply scientific principles to practical ends, such as in the design and construction of structures. Geological engineers help find the best ways to use the earth's resources to solve technical problems while protecting the environment. Geological engineers might solve problems associated with man-made structures in rock or soils such as dams, tunnels, and underground power plants. In addition, they may help mitigate naturally occuring phenomena such as floods, landslides, and earthquakes or develop safe and environmentally sound subsurface openings for mineral extraction, energy storage, or waste disposal.
