Development of a first course in geotechnical engineering design

本课程为土木工程系三年级学生开设第一门岩土工程内容课程。注意这门学科在整个课程中的地位，注意学生的学习目标和成果。本课题旨在阐明工程判断在岩土工程中的重要性，解决没有唯一解决方案的复杂工程问题。同时也要考虑到时间和预算的限制。发展了两个课题：(1)考虑上下水相互作用的河堤改造；(2)缓解12km长的水道液化风险。本文还附上了一些国外高校工程设计教育的调查结果。

A first course in geotechnical engineering contents have been developed, which isexpected to be given to the third year students in department of civil engineering. Care was taken to the position of the subject in the whole curriculum and leaningobjectives and outcomes of the students. The subject is aiming at teach importance ofengineering judgment in geotechnical engineering, and resolve complex engineeringproblem that does not have any unique solution. Also constraints from time andbudget should be taken into account. The developed two subjects are (1) Renovationof river dyke considering interactions between up and down stream, and (2) Mitigationof liquefaction risk for 12km long water channel. Some investigation results on theengineering design education in oversea universities are also attached.
