Undergraduate Emphasis

Undergraduate students in the Civil Engineering track can pursue several courses to emphasize in geotechnical engineering. Geotechnical specialization courses include:

  • CVEN 3718 Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering II
  • CVEN 4728 Foundation Engineering
  • CVEN 4748 Design of Earth Structures
  • CVEN 4838 Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering

In addition, undergraduates are welcome to take graduate-level courses offered by the Geotechnical Engineering and Geomechanics program with instructor approval to satisfy upper level electives. 3 to 7 graduate courses in this program are available each semester.
