Geotechnical engineers use knowledge and skills bases that you will learn in this unit tomeet stakeholders' needs. You will learn the properties of geomaterials, geotechnical engineering principlesand theories, and their applications. You will further develop your personal and professional skills incommunication and engineering teamwork. This unit draws upon your learning in EGB270 Civil EngineeringMaterials. EGH473 Advanced Geotechnical Engineering will build upon this unit.","title-full":"EGB373 Geotechnical Engineering","title-short":"Geotechnical Engineering","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=EGB373&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=EGB373","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=EGB373"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
