Geotechnical engineering focuses on earth materials like soil, rock, and groundwater. Since nearly all construction projects rely on ground support, this field intersects with most civil engineering specialties. Geotechnical specialists create structural foundations, roadway subgrades, water storage embankments, and hazardous material containment systems. Beyond project design and construction, they address geological threats including landslides, erosion, and seismic activity. Career opportunities exist with engineering firms, government agencies, energy companies, and academic institutions.
The Master of Engineering (MEng) and Master of Science (Non-Thesis) programs require at least 30 approved credit hours. Both university regulations and the Geotechnical engineering program impose specific requirements on these credits.
