...TEACHING FOR THE MILLENNIUM OR FOR THE STUDENTS? Jørgen S. Steenfelt 1 ABSTRACT Geo-engineering education affects us all. The nature and quality of our graduate intake and the opportu- nities for continuing education will define the future of our disciplines. In a climate of ever increasing de...

.... Two versions of ESP were produced based upon separate learning strategies. ESP96 has a high degree of user freedom allowing the student to choose the learning goals. ESP97, however, has relatively lower user freedom with the learning tasks being set by the program. Evaluation by pre- and post-testing...

... of subject matter. A critical analysis of various modes of delivery is presented taking into account the student learning styles and perspectives as well as current and impending technological changes. It is pointed out that the increased efficiency required by the declining resources is inherently...

.... Environmental geotechnology should be introduced to the students as a new branch on an extension of geotechnical engineering. Civil engineering departments must take major steps to change their curricula to produce knowledgeable, qualified geoenvironmetal engineers who are able to deal with environmental...

... ABSTRACT: Since 1991, the number of Canadian students graduating in geological engineering has doubled and currently stands at about 150 per year. The nine active geological engineering programs in Canada each graduate 15–20 new geological engineers per year. The number of students enrolled...

.... Lt. Richard Smith of Bengal Engineering Group was looking after the construction work of eastern Yamuna Canal in the year 1845, who started giving training to some Indian students in Saharanpur. Necessity was also felt for similar training during the Ganga Canal Project. Conceived by Col. Sir Proby...

..., and we proposed a comprehensive method for computing and designing the support. From using courseware, students can learn the course more easily and can even obtain some engineering experience in class. For example, using the drilling courseware, students can see a real process of a drilling hole so...

... and design scenarios that allow the student to see the effect on some behaviour by modifying various parameter(s); the material can be delivered in an exciting and challenging manner; students are able to learn at their own pace, rather than fitting into a schedule set by the course timetable...

.... This is primarily due to limited student enrolments and the financial pressures placed on universities and secondary school education. In Canada, three Geological Engineering programs have closed in recent years, leaving only eight, while two others have recently successfully defended themselves against threatened...

... of these disciplines. Although Geotechnical Engineering forms an important part of the under-graduate curricula in Civil and Mining Engineering at Imperial College, it is only at post-graduate level that engineering students may develop a geotechnical specialization. A full time Engineering Geology Course is available...

.... Much of their work will relate to the welfare of the general public. Consequently, it is necessary that students be given a sound basic understand- ing of the nature of the practice of their chosen profession and of its significance to the profession and the general pub- lic. Conversely, the teachers...

... shear test. The second course is mainly concentrated on triaxial shear tests (unconsolidated - undrained, consolidated - undrained, drained) and VRlleshear test. The students apply bad<:pressure to saturate the specimen, check for pore pressure parameter B, and calculate strain rate for desi- red...
