Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Canada 2011
14.0802 - Geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering
This instructional program class comprises any program that prepares individuals to apply geotechnical engineering methods, which deal with the analysis, design and construction of earth and earth supported structures, to the application of environmental problems, such as waste containment, waste disposal, construction of land fills, soil permeation, soil analysis, and soil improvement. These programs include courses in soil mechanics, soil dynamics, soil behaviour, waste management and containment systems, geosynthetics, geochemistry, earth structures, geoenvironmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, and foundation engineering.
