Geological Engineering

Ryan Anderson The Geological Engineering program provided me with a strong background of core engineering principles, with an emphasis in geologic applications, which are foundational to planning, designing, construction, and maintaining a transportation system. In addition the program challenged me in critical and creative thinking, and developing sound writing skills. Ryan Anderson (ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ 1997), Commissioner of the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Department of Transportation and Public Facilities
