Bachelor of Science in
Civil Engineering - Geotechnical
About the Program
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) with a major in Geotechnical Engineering is an intensive undergraduate program designed to provide students with the expertise and practical skills required to analyze, design, and manage projects involving soil and rock mechanics. This program integrates core civil engineering principles with specialized courses focused on the behavior and properties of earth materials and their application in construction and infrastructure development.
The core objectives of the program include equipping students with a solid foundation in civil engineering principles, including structural analysis, fluid mechanics, and materials science; focusing on geotechnical engineering concepts such as soil mechanics, rock mechanics, foundation engineering, and earth-retaining structures; providing hands-on experience through laboratory work, field investigations, and internships to address real-world geotechnical challenges; promoting research and innovative solutions in geotechnical engineering to develop safe and sustainable construction practices; and preparing students for professional licensure and careers in various sectors, including construction companies, consulting firms, and government agencies.
