Learner goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from University of North Dakota to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Students in this program/course are capable of designing a preliminary project to analyze or suggest solutions for a real geological engineering problem to help industry company to understanding of geologic concepts, environmental issues, and geologic hazards associated with engineering.

Project examples

Requirements

Students in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.


Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:


 

  • Proficiency in the identification of minerals and rocks and their corresponding properties associated with engineering issues.
  • Identifying geological engineering problems and solutions in real world situations and their impact on society and the environment.


**Please note that we are looking for an employer that is willing to work alongside students on the project to solve a geological/environmental problem.
