Editorial overview for the themed issue on Geotechnical Engineering Education

Abstract

This special issue contains fifteen (15) peer-reviewed papers on geotechnical engineering education (Geo-engineering education). The themed issue includes the fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of geo-engineering: geomechanics (soil mechanics and rock mechanics), engineering geology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental engineering. This editorial presents a brief introduction of each article and highlights its key findings, main points, and conclusions. The papers in this issue cover a wide range of Geo-engineering topics in undergraduate curricula. This themed issue brings together articles from different universities and countries with inequalities in research funding for the current and future mutually beneficial exchange of ideas and experiences in Geo-engineering education. While this issue focuses especially on Geo-engineering education, some approaches or strategies presented here have applications to different topics in education and teaching.
