What will I learn?
The Laboratory Geologist Course provides practical, lab-based skills to plan projects, manage field samples, and produce reliable data for design choices. You will learn sample collection, preparation, and chain-of-custody procedures, then advance to XRF, XRD, carbonate tests, petrography, soil classification, density, porosity, grain-size analysis, water interaction, strength, durability, QA/QC, safety, and clear reporting tailored for engineers.
