However, off-shoring is likely to have littleimpact on the most highly educated engineers. Thus, engineering education is evolving, withmore emphasis on graduate education, as outlined in a recently released series of reports by theNational Academy of Engineering4, 5.

This includesmanaging civil or environmental aspects of foundation systems, tunneling, mining, constructionmaterials, excavation, ground water, contaminant transport, seismicity, and mass movement,among many other applications.Because of the importance of geological science to civil and environmental engineers, it is notunusual for some engineering programs to require a course
