岩土工程课程的重点是在土壤动力学，地面改良，动态土-结构相互作用问题，土壤与基础系统的数值模拟以及使用地震方法进行土壤勘探等方面的高级研究。还特别强调运输问题，特别是路面材料，设计和管理。系通过岩土，运输材料和基础设施评估工程项目的课程工作和研究为每个学生的课程提供重点。
The program in geotechnical engineering emphasizes advanced study and research in the areas of soil dynamics, ground improvement, problems of dynamic soil-structure interaction, numerical modeling of soil and foundation systems, and soil exploration using seismic methods. Also special emphasis is given to transportation problems, in particular pavement materials, design and management. Department provides a focus for each student's program through course work and research in geotechnical, transportation materials and infrastructure evaluation engineering projects.
