Development of a first course in geotechnical engineering design

岩土工程内容的第一门课程已经开发，预计将在土木工程系的三年级学生。注重学科在整个课程中的地位，注重学生的学习目标和学习效果。本课题旨在教授工程判断在岩土工程中的重要性，解决没有唯一解的复杂工程问题。此外，时间和预算的限制也应该考虑在内。本论文主要研究两个课题：（1）考虑上下游相互作用的堤防整治;（2）减轻12 km长河道液化风险。并附有对国外大学工程设计教育的一些调查结果。

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.
