Reflection on geotechnical engineering

  1. What was most interesting to you from the geotechnical engineering presentation? What was confusing to you in the presentation?

  2. Use what you learned from the presentation, the web, and engineer friends/relatives to come up with five examples of what a geotechnical engineer may analyze or design? Do any of these appeal to you?

  3. Visit this website. Reflect on what you learned. http://www.issmge.org/en/

  4. ASCE has nine specialty institutes, one of which is Geo Institute. Visit this link and click on Geo-Institute: http://www.asce.org/institutes/ Reflect on what you learned.

  5. Rank your current interest in geotechnical engineering with 1 being least interested and 5 being most interested. Explain your reasoning.

  6. Here are companies (see next page) that recently hired our students for civil/environmental engineering jobs. You had already filled this table out for environmental engineering. Now, I am asking you to add info on geotechnical engineering. Fill out the table. You can copy paste your earlier answers from the environmental engineering section and add on the new info for geotechnical engineering.
