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.
