Geological Engineer is an engineering career.
Strike and dip refer to the orientation or attitude of a geologic feature. The strike line of a bed, fault, or other planar feature, is a line representing the intersection of that feature with a horizontal plane.

You can as long as you meet the entrance requirements particular to that program.
Rule of thumb - first word describes the second Geological Engineering - A specialization within the field of engineering. This course of study incorporates many aspects of civil and mining engineering, with some geology and hydrology topics mixed in. Engineering Geology - Geology based, specifically as related to engineering applications. This includes hydrology, geophysics, rock mechanics, and geotechnics. This would likely involve much more geology than engineering however. Both Geological Engineering as well as Engineering Geology can be studied at the undergraduate level (B.S. / BSc) in addition to (in various forms at the) graduate level (M.S. / MSc). One observation I have noted through personal experience and research is that a person with a Geo. Eng. degree is far more likely to be viewed as an "engineer" as compared to a "geologist" with the alternative option.

To find dip and dip direction, you first need to determine the angle at which a geological layer inclines relative to the horizontal plane, known as the dip. This is measured using a compass clinometer or an inclinometer. The dip direction indicates the compass bearing of the steepest descent of the inclined layer, typically measured perpendicular to the dip angle. You can visualize this by imagining a line drawn down the slope of the layer, which points in the direction of the dip.
