Electives (Classes of 2024)

The Geological Engineering student requires a total of 17.5 Technical Elective (TE) Credits (210 AUs). These are typically, (but not exclusively) taken as 5 TE elective courses with a minimum average of 3.5 Credits or 42 AUs per course.  These courses can be taken at any point during the program to accommodate timetabling but normally only in third and fourth year.  Students should plan to ensure that prerequisite and corequisite requirements are met for the full suite of TE or CS electives they wish to take during their program.  Students should note that a reduction of total course load to less than 80% of the normal load may prevent them from holding Queen's University scholarships.

It is mandatory that at least 7 Credits of Technical Electives (TE) be taken from the following list:
