What do you do in geotechnical engineering?

Geotechnical engineers investigate and evaluate soil, rock, groundwater, and man-made materials and their interaction with earth retention systems, structure foundations, and other civil engineering works.

What does a graduate geotechnical engineer do?

The role of a Geotechnical engineer is to assess material properties, determined by performing site investigation works to confirm site subsurface conditions. From here, we use principles of soil and rock mechanics to determine the physical/mechanical and chemical properties of these materials.

Can I work as a geotechnical engineer without a master’s degree?

Currently work for a geotechnical specialty subcontractor. Original Answer: Only if you want to get a job as a geotechnical engineer. That may sound harsh, but many employers won’t consider hiring a geotechnical engineer without a master’s level education.

What courses do civil engineers need to study geotechnics?

For example, typical undergrad civil engineering curriculum only offers 2 geotechnical courses (soil mechanics and foundation design). A master’s programs will add many others including advanced soil mechanics, advanced foundation engineering, geotechnical laboratory testing, groundwater and seepage, geotechnical earthquake engineerin

Is there a demand for geotechnical engineers in India?

Yes. India is developing fasThere is paucity of geotechnical engineers. Demand is more and supply is less. First step is geotechnical investigation for any project. I am geotechnical engineer by chance. I taught structural enginnering to my students and I likef it. But I was forced to take this by govt.. and sponsored to IIT, Bombay for PG.
