Our living space is composed of “Atmosphere”, "Hydrosphere" and "Geosphere", in particular "Geosphere" is an extremely important
area in civil engineering including earth supporting activities of daily living. "Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering"
is a subject for the geosphere that supports this human life, learning about the composition, the environment, disaster, exploration
and so on for the geosphere. In addition to learning the basics of the science for the geosphere, learn the fundamentals of
civil engineering to be studied in the future.
Learn about the composition, environment, disaster, exploration and so on for the geosphere. Learn the fundamentals of civil
engineering to acquire in the future by acquiring the basics of the study covering the geosphere.
- Understand the composition of the geosphere and explain the history of the geosphere and the basic history of ancient technologies for civil engineering.
- Understand the environmental problems and countermeasures related to the geosphere, and analyze and evaluate geosphere environmental problems and devise countermeasures.
- Understand the disaster problems and countermeasures related to the geosphere, and analyze and evaluate geo-disaster problems and devise countermeasures.
- Understand the significance of geosphere exploration and explain basic matters of various exploration technologies and their applicability.
- Understand the forefront of the geosphere and life, and plan and explain the latest technology to modify the geosphere.
