Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is widely used as a practical tool in engineering and applied science, even though it is generally absent from university curricula and textbooks. Vigorous development by manufacturers has produced systems which are no more expensive than other types of engineering geophysical equipment. The graphical cross sections produced by GPR will make it suitable for use by non.engineers or at a very early stage of instruction. The equipment is also used in a highly quantitative mode by transferring the data to graphic workstations. Our curricula lack hands.on experience with this modern tool, and we propose to correct deficiency by acquiring GPR instrumentation and incorporating it into four departmental curricula: 1. Geological Engineering, Geology, and Geophysics 2. Civil and Environmental Engineering 3. Electrical engineering 4. Social Science (Archaeology) GPR will impact twenty.nine courses in four departments and the Women in Engineering and Minorities in Engineering Programs.

探地雷达（GPR）作为工程和应用科学中的实用工具被广泛使用，尽管大学课程和教科书中通常没有它。 制造商的大力开发已经生产出并不比其他类型的工程地球物理设备更昂贵的系统。 GPR 生成的图形横截面将使其适合非工程师或在教学的早期阶段使用。 该设备还通过将数据传输到图形工作站来以高度定量的模式使用。 我们的课程缺乏使用这种现代工具的实践经验，我们建议通过购买探地雷达仪器并将其纳入四个系课程来纠正缺陷：1. 地质工程、地质学和地球物理学 2. 土木与环境工程 3. 电气工程 4. 社会科学（考古学） GPR 将影响四个系的 29 门课程以及工程中的女性和工程项目中的少数民族课程。
