Abstract

Foundation Engineering is a postgraduate module in the ME in Civil Engineering, which covers the theoretical and practical aspects of the foundation design of structures, using lectures and tutorials as teaching methods. The module has 24 hours of direct contact with the lecturer and 76 hours of self-directed learning. This is a semester 2 module that follows Applied Geotechnical Engineering, which is delivered in semester 1 but is not a prerequisite. Both modules are optional in the programme; however, most students interested in the subject matter take both modules. The mode of delivery for both modules is usually online. For the academic year 2024/25, Applied Geotechnical Engineering was delivered online, while Foundation Engineering used the HyFlex format. It is important to note that, based on the class list, both modules had 26 and 27 students, respectively. However, both modules had the same students, except three.
