Course Aims

This course aims to provide students with the fundamental principles and concepts of soil mechanics and engineering techniques, and their applications in geotechnical engineering. Students are also expected to gain the basic knowledge of the physical and mechanical properties of soil and testing methods. To promote students’ independent learning and critical thinking, they will engage in a project in which they will examine a specific case or situation in depth and carry out engineering design by applying the knowledge they learnt in the lectures.
