CURRICULUM 470C/1101P
EDUCATIONAL SKILL REQUIREMENTS (ESRs)
Working knowledge of soil and rock as a construction material for building foundations, embankments, dams, roads, earth retaining structures, channels and waterfront structures, including bulkheads, drydocks and piers.
Ability to apply theoretical principles of soil mechanics to geotechnical engineering problems related to deep and shallow foundations, retaining walls, slopes, braced cuts, embankments, tunnels, compaction of soil, and solid waste disposal.
Understanding of the properties of pavement components, design of flexible and rigid pavements, pavement evaluation, and design tests.
Basic understanding of the techniques and limitations of laboratory and field testing including tests for soil and rock properties, capacity of foundations, and an understanding of field testing data for changes in site conditions that may change design.
Understanding of soil properties and characteristics, and physical and chemical factors that affect engineering soil properties.
Understanding of techniques for the dynamic analysis of soils and foundations related to vibratory and seismic forces.
Understanding of geotechnical engineering solutions and designs that relate to settlement and heave problems; possible engineering solutions or field testing that may result.
Understanding of principles and techniques involved in terrain evaluation by observable geologic surface features, vegetation or drainage patterns, aerial photography or relief mapping media.
Understanding of principles and properties of groundwater seepage and porous media as related to engineering properties of soil and rock that affect engineering and environmental considerations.
Understanding of engineering solutions of synthetic materials in design and construction applications to strengthen soils or provide seepage control.
Basic understanding of data processing and computer techniques for application to engineering problems.
Working knowledge of and ability to apply business and financial accounting principles.
Proficiency in oral and written communications and ability to identify, research, and recommend alternatives to various engineering problems for presentation to both technical and non technical managers.
If a thesis or major report is required for the degree, the topic selected must be applicable to soils/geotechnical problems found in the Navy or extends knowledge in a particular technical engineering area.
