Students interested in geotechnical engineering develop inter-disciplinary
programs that combine geotechnical graduate courses with courses in
transportation, water resources, environmental, and structural engineering. Dr.
Edward Glynn and Dr. Andrea Welker have prepared some sample plans of study for
both full and part time students to demonstrate how the geotechnical courses can
be combined with the areas described above.
Courses All of the
geotechnical courses are offered in the
evenings to accommodate both full and part time students. All of these courses
have undergraduate Soil Mechanics (or equivalent) as a prerequisite. These
courses are also open to undergraduates in Villanova’s CEE program provided the
student meets the criteria outlined in the course catalog. Undergraduates could
take these courses as a Technical Elective, Free Elective, or as part of the
combined BS/MS program. Research
Students pursuing full time study typically perform research that culminates in
the submission of a thesis. Geotechnical master’s students have performed or are
currently performing research on equivalent diameter formulations for
prefabricated vertical drains and best management practices (BMPs) on
Villanova’s campus. |
