Geotechnical & Transportation Engineering Overview

Academic Programs

In addition to the introductory courses in Geotechnical and Transportation Engineering, a number of elective courses are offered covering a variety of specialized topics. These include: foundation design, advanced laboratory testing, pavement design, highway materials engineering, construction management, and groundwater hydrology. These courses expose students to hands-on laboratory, field and computational training in solving practical engineering problems. Graduate study leading to a M.S. in Civil Engineering and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering are offered in either Geotechnical or Transportation Engineering by selecting appropriate graduate courses and area of research.

Research

Specific areas of research emphasis of the Geotechnical and Transportation Program are:

 

Geotechnical and Transportation
engineering are interrelated fields that encompass a number of specialized areas of practice and research. Geotechnical engineering deals with all the aspects of soil, rock, and groundwater behavior. Transportation engineering deals with the various human and material design aspects of transportation facilities including traffic, geometrics, planning, pavements, and materials.
