In Canada, 8 universities are accredited by Engineers Canada to offer undergraduate degrees in geological engineering. [11] Many of these universities also offer graduate degree programs in geological engineering. These include: Queen’s University (Department of Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering) (1975 – present),
The Canadian Geotechnical Journal has been published since 1963 by NRC Research Press. It is a monthly journal featuring papers related to geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering as well as applied sciences. Papers are loaded to the Web site in advance of the printed issues.
Acta Geotechnica is a bimonthly peer-reviewed engineering journal published by Springer. The editor-in-chief is Wei Wu ( University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna ). The other two journal editors Ronaldo Borja (Stanford, USA), and Jian Chu (Singapore).
The Faculty of Engineering is one of six faculties at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.It has 8,698 undergraduate students, 2176 graduate students, 334 faculty and 52,750 alumni [1] making it the largest engineering school in Canada [2] with external research funding from 195 Canadian and international partners exceeding $86.8 million.

Geotechnical engineering, like geology, engineering geology, and geologic engineering, also involves the specialties of rock mechanics and soil mechanics, and often requires knowledge of geotextiles and geosynthetics, as well as an array of instrumentation and monitoring equipment, to help ensure specified conditions are achieved and maintained.
Ralph Brazelton Peck (June 23, 1912 – February 18, 2008) was a civil engineer specializing in soil mechanics, the author and co-author of popular soil mechanics and foundation engineering text books, and Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) (French: Société canadienne de génie civil) was founded in 1887 as the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, renamed in 1918 as the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), and re-established in June 1972 as a member society of the EIC under the slightly different but current name.

The principal objective of the engineering geologist is the protection of life and property against damage caused by various geological conditions. [4] The practice of engineering geology is also very closely related to the practice of geological engineering and geotechnical engineering. If there is a difference in the content of the ...
