Abstract
Abstract The educational implications of introducing environmental issues into engineering geology courses are discussed. It is suggested that there is a need for specialist courses in environmental geological engineering specifically designed for engineering geologists who intend to work in the environmental field. Such courses should introduce the various issues related to air, water and ground pollution; noise and vibration. The courses also need to deal with environmental planning issues such as risk assessment, hazard evaluation and the appropriate legislation. However, it is argued that the main focus of these courses should be the disposal or treatment of waste and the investigation and remediation of contaminated land and groundwater.
