Geology & Civil Engineering GEOLOGY: is defined as the science dealing withphysical nature, history of earth, the rock of whichit is composed, and the changes which it hasundergone or is undergoing. GEOLOGIST builds his conclusions on observationsand intuitive reasoning. ENGINEERING:is a science concerned withputting scientific knowledge to practical uses. ENGINEER measures properties and appliesmathematical relationships to reach his conclusion Geology & Civil Engineering GEOLOGY: is defined as the science dealing withphysical nature, history of earth, the rock of whichit is composed, and the changes which it hasundergone or is undergoing.
