Teaching Method
Outline:
Geotechnical Engineering System do not simply take a mechanical look at the ground, but rather cultivate viewpoints to look at it from environmental aspects.
For this reason, the study objectives are to understand what the ground is from a geotechnical engineering perspective, and the clues for identifying it from the perspectives of topography, geology, etc., in order to prevent ground disasters, and be able to reasonably plan and design countermeasures (E, F, and H).
Style:
This course will be conducted with a combination of lecture-style classes and practical lessons through field work and exercises. Field work will be conducted in the form of an intensive course.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes or absent from the field work without permission will not be eligible for a passing grade.
