Abstract
The engineering geologist is a geologist that acts as an interpreter—relating geologic processes to engineering products. The geologist must therefore be technologically bilingual. Academic training of engineering geologists must first be founded on a solid knowledge of geology with additional knowledge in engineering. A program that dilutes the geologic training in order to add engineering violates the definition of an engineering geologist. Almost any university could respond to a student9s interest in engineering geology by opening the academic communication lines between geology and engineering. Critical professional skills such as written and oral communications, problem identification, and thinking under pressure can easily be incorporated into geology courses.
