Who is Eligible


Undergraduate students reading Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering) programme admitted to,

  • Year 1 in Academic Year 2021-22
  • Year 2 in Academic Year 2022-23

Background


All engineering structures are founded in soils and rocks. Geotechnical engineering is one of the core disciplines of Civil Engineering that studies the mechanical behaviour of soils and rocks, under loading as part of the design of excavation, foundation, underground tunnel, land reclamation and slope stability among other infrastructures. This specialised expertise in geotechnical engineering is in high demand in industry. This specialisation will better equip students to practice in the geotechnical sector upon graduation.
