Next year, Dr. Brian Cooke will offer the course CE 5153 Waste Geotechnics from UNB for students at UNB and the University of Maine at Orono. Additionally, efforts are being made to extend our course offerings through the internet. I that can be taken as a World Wide Web based course.

Professor David Innes is in the process of preparing various modules of course materials for transportation courses for presentation through the World Wide Web. The first students graduated from the Geological Engineering Program in 1983. The program is administered by a Director who chairs a committee of six members, three from the Department of Civil Engineering and three from the Department of Geology. Students registered in the Geological Engineering program typically take about 25 per cent of their courses from the Department of Civil Engineering. Some significant changes have been made in the Geological Engineering Program for the incoming students in September 1999.
