Introduce civil engineering students to soil and its engineering properties.
Why? “Virtually every structure is supported by soil or rock. Those that aren’t either fly, float, or fall over.”
There are numerous earth-structures [structures made of soil] that are useful to humankind. The safe and economical design of these structures requires engineering.
There are almost no civil works that can be constructed without using, excavating, moving, supporting or otherwise controlling soil and/or groundwater.
Additional Remarks Students must get at least 40 over 100 on the final exam to pass the course.
COURSE POLICIES
University policies on neatness and academic honesty will be adhered to.
It is expected that those in the class will respect one another and contribute to a constructive learning environment. IŞIK UNIVERSITY C OUR SE SYLLA BUS F A C U L T Y O F E N G I N E E R I N G 2021/2022-1
