Abstract

Geotechnical Engineering 2 is a third-year technical module in the BE in Civil Engineering and the BE in Structural Engineering, and it covers the theoretical and practical aspects of the retaining wall stability, foundation design and compressibility of soils. The two classes are merged together for it. It uses lectures, laboratories and tutorials as teaching methods. The module has 36 hours of direct contact and 64 hours of self-directed learning. It is a semester 2 core module that follows Geotechnical Engineering 1. The mode of delivery for both modules is in-person lectures at the lecture hall, with three laboratory practices at the Soil Laboratory on campus. For the academic year 2024/25, Geotechnical Engineering 1 was delivered as described, while Geotechnical Engineering 2 used the HyFlex format for the lectures, but laboratory practices remained the same. It is important to note that both modules had the same group of students except for two who went to an Erasmus exchange.
