Geotechnical Engineering deals with soil and rock, and their relation to design, construction and operation of engineering projects. Geological engineers frequently work with geologists and civil engineers, and they play important roles in the study of the interaction between the earth and engineered facilities.

Geotechnical work is fundamental to our way of life.

Geological Engineering is related to the exploration, management and utilization of materials of the earth's crust and to the early development of project foundations, mineral quantities and qualities, and environmental impact assessment.

Geological engineers aid in designing foundations of major structures for various types of loads, and waste repository systems to protect the earth and its inhabitant from environmental pollution.
