Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Module Intro

The module has been formulated to broaden your understanding of geotechnical behaviour and the role of the engineer in the analysis and design of foundations, slopes, and retaining structures. The importance of safe and sustainable solutions will be emphasised throughout, considering environmental, geotechnical, and risk-related factors.A global perspective will be introduced through real-world case studies and current industry practices, highlighting key challenges in ground engineering. Graduate employment opportunities will be outlined across geotechnical design and consultancy sectors, supported by the use of industry-standard software and professional approaches.The module focuses on slope stability, foundation design, earth pressures, and ground improvement techniques, opening up career pathway opportunities in geotechnical and environmental engineering.
