University of British Columbia, Masters of Engineering in Civil Engineering - Geotechnical Engineering, 1 Year(s)

The recent concerns for energy and the environment have led to increased activity in the field of Geotechnical Engineering. The practice of Geotechnical Engineering requires a knowledge of geology, soil and rock mechanics, and experience. Geotechnical Engineering at the University of British Columbia focuses on soil mechanics, which concerns the engineering behavior of soil and its application to the design and performance of earth and earth-supported structures. These studies involve the measurement of stress-strain, strength and permeability properties of soil and the development of theories based on these measured properties to predict the response of structures to static and dynamic loading. Environmental Geotechnics emphasizes the geotechnical and environmental aspects of contaminant management, by considering the characteristics of contaminants and the problems encountered in designing and constructing facilities to manage or contain them. Geotechnical courses in Civil Engineering at the graduate level are largely in soil mechanics, though students are encouraged to take courses in engineering geology and rock mechanics from other departments.
