“Geological exploration” means to explore and detect geology through various means and methods, determine the appropriate bearing layer, determine the basic type according to the bearing capacity of the bearing layer, and calculate the investigation and research activities of the basic parameters. It is a mineral deposit found in the mineral census. In order to find out the quality and quantity of the mineral and the technical conditions for mining and utilization, it provides the mineral reserves and geological data needed for the mine construction design, and the rocks and strata in a certain area. Investigate and study the geological conditions of the structure, minerals, hydrology and landforms.

The field of geological engineering is based on the natural sciences and the geosciences. It is mainly based on geological surveys, general surveys and explorations of mineral resources, geological structures of major projects and engineering issues involved in geological backgrounds, with geology, geophysics and geochemistry. Technology, mathematical geological methods, remote sensing technology, testing technology, computer technology, etc. are the pioneering engineering fields for the national economic construction.
