  • Geotechnical engineering brings high technology down to earth. Through the latest advances in computer science, microelectronics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, geotechnical engineers are gaining new and more precise tools for understanding and modifying the performance of rock and soil.
  • The focus of Lyle’s master’s program is on understanding this new technology and applying it to the study and design of earth structures. In this 30-hour program, students explore such core topics as solid foundation engineering, finite element analysis, and advanced soil mechanics.
  • They then expand their studies through such fascinating electives as geotechnical earthquake engineering, groundwater control, and special topics courses designed to meet the needs of students in areas such as geothermal energy, soil stabilization, and seismic analysis of soil-structure systems.
  • Graduates become fully grounded in applying the newest techniques of measurement and analysis to the most ancient of building materials.
