This project is promoting wide-spread access to quality information, resources, and activities in support of learning, teaching, and research in the areas of geotechnical engineering, rock engineering, and water and its use. The effort is envisioned as a component of a larger national civil engineering digital library providing "one-stop" access to resources to meet the learning, teaching and research needs of a wide audience including higher education, professionals, and the community at large. The project expects significant benefits to accrue as citizens gain awareness of the importance of these areas of civil engineering activities in their daily lives. In formal educational settings a direct impact is expected on undergraduate, graduate and continuing education as users gain rapid access to educational resources dealing with cutting edge civil engineering advances. A host portal provides access to collections of reviewed and ranked resources in the three target areas, and growth of the collection is planned in other areas of civil engineering. An advisory panel is assisting the project in areas of user needs assessment, testing of learning objects, and dissemination of information about the project.

该项目正在促进广泛获取高质量的信息、资源和活动，以支持岩土工程、岩石工程和水及其利用领域的学习、教学和研究。这项工作被设想为一个更大的国家土木工程数字图书馆的组成部分，提供“一站式”的资源访问，以满足包括高等教育、专业人士和广大社区在内的广大受众的学习、教学和研究需求。随着市民意识到这些领域的土木工程活动在日常生活中的重要性，该项目预计将产生显著的效益。在正规教育环境中，由于用户可以快速获得处理尖端土木工程进展的教育资源，预计将对本科、研究生和继续教育产生直接影响。主机门户提供对三个目标领域中经过审查和排名的资源集合的访问，并且计划在土木工程的其他领域中增加集合。一个咨询小组正在用户需求评估、学习对象测试和传播有关项目的信息等领域协助该项目。
