About this event

The Introduction to Geoengineering Online Training course is a foundational program designed for learners who want to explore the principles, applications, and innovations in geoengineering. Focused on the behavior and treatment of earth materials, this course offers in-depth instruction on soil classification, geotechnical properties, ground improvement, geoenvironmental solutions, and site investigation methods—all of which are essential to modern civil, structural, and environmental engineering.

Through a structured module-based approach, learners will develop a robust understanding of earth materials, soil mechanics, subsurface exploration, and environmental safety in construction and infrastructure design. From foundational soil science to advanced ground stabilization and geoenvironmental risk management, the course presents critical knowledge that bridges theory and practice in the evolving field of geoengineering.

Each module is informed by real-world case studies, laboratory methods, and field data analysis. Learners gain a multidisciplinary perspective that aligns with global engineering standards and sustainability goals. Whether aiming to enter the field or deepen existing expertise, this online training delivers valuable skills for careers in geotechnical engineering, environmental management, and infrastructure development.

Course Curriculum

Module 01: Earth Processes and Soil BasicsUnderstand natural geological processes, soil formation, and types of earth materials. Learn the basics of mineral composition, weathering, and soil horizons relevant to geoengineering.

Module 02: Soil Classification and BehaviourExplore soil classification systems such as Unified Soil Classification (USCS) and AASHTO. Study soil behavior under various stress conditions, moisture content, and particle size distribution.

Module 03: Geotechnical Properties of SoilsAnalyze engineering properties of soil including permeability, compaction, shear strength, consolidation, and compressibility. Learn laboratory testing and field identification techniques.

Module 04: Ground Improvement TechniquesGain expertise in soil stabilization, compaction grouting, vibro-compaction, geotextiles, and reinforced earth systems. Understand how to enhance weak or problematic soils.

Module 05: Geoenvironmental EngineeringStudy the interaction between soil and environmental contaminants. Learn about landfill design, liner systems, leachate management, site remediation, and waste containment strategies.

Module 06: Geotechnical Site InvestigationLearn how to conduct subsurface investigations, including boring, sampling, in-situ testing, and geophysical methods. Understand data collection for foundation design and risk assessment.
