专业概况

在这里学什么？

The MS in Geotechnical Engineering at Northwestern prepares graduates with sound fundamentals necessary to become creative geotechnical consultants and designers, capable of addressing the wide range of issues arising from the development and maintenance of sustainable infrastructure systems and mitigating natural hazards.

The program builds on strengths of the world-renowned faculty and elite Chicago-based geotechnical consulting firms and specialty contractors. Core courses are complemented with design courses and projects taught by design professionals from firms such as Hayward Baker, Geosyntec Consultants, and Turner Construction.

Join a new generation of geotechnical engineers Experience a broad curriculum in theory and practice Learn cutting-edge analysis and design techniques Evaluate and mitigate natural hazards Design for underground space for urban development and renewal Create geo-structures for the future Make industry contacts and network through seminars and career fairs

Geotechnical Engineering Fundamentals

Series of nine courses designed to provide students with the core knowledge required for geotechnical practice. They encompass: soil mechanics, soil dynamics, unsaturated soil mechanics, groundwater, computational plasticity and limit analysis, and constitutive modeling of soils.

Geotechnical Analysis and Design

GEO students supplement their fundamentals with six courses: foundation engineering, earth retaining structures and slope stability, engineering properties of soils, underground construction, ground improvements, LRFD in geotechnics, computational geotechnics, case studies in geotechnical engineering, structural design, numerical analyses, and comprehensive design project.
