MSc Geotechnical Engineering
Course Overview 项目概述
The primary objective of the Master of Science (Geotechnical Engineering) is to produce engineers who can plan, design and supervise construction of temporary earth retaining structures and other geotechnical problems that are more complex than standard foundations in a competent and professional manner. The secondary objective is to provide continuing education to engineers who wish to be trained solely in the highly specialised area of geotechnical engineering.
理学硕士（岩土工程）的主要目标是培养能够以合格和专业的方式来规划，设计和监督临时土方支护结构的施工以及比标准基础更复杂的其他岩土工程问题的工程师。次要目标是为希望在高度专业化的岩土工程领域接受培训的工程师提供继续教育。

Coursework programmes leading to the Master of Science (MSc) are normally conducted in the evenings and are awarded once the candidates pass the relevant examinations in a prescribed number of subjects. Students may enrol in any of these programmes on a part-time or full-time basis. However, International candidates who are not long-term residents of Singapore at the time of application are only eligible to apply for the full-time MSc programmes, and if offered admission, they are to be registered as full-time students.
授课型的理学硕士课程通常在晚上进行，并且一旦考生通过规定数量的科目的相关考试便可授予学位。学生可以非全日制或全日制学习参加这些课程。但是，申请时不是新加坡长期居民的国际申请人只有资格申请全日制硕士课程。

The Master of Science in Geotechnical Engineering course, or M.Sc. (Geotec), is hosted by the Department of Civil Engineering. The programme accepts both full time and part time students. To qualify for the M.Sc. (Geotec) degree, a candidate must successfully complete a programme of study consisting of at least 40 Modular Credits (MCs):
28 MCs from the list of core modules
The remaining MCs from the list of elective modules

Modules & Graduation Requirement
课程设置&毕业要求
Student must obtain a minimum CAP of 3.00 (equivalent to an average grade of B-) for the best modules equivalent to 40MCs, inclusive of the core modules. Furthermore, the grade point obtained for each of the 7 core modules must be at least 2.5 (C+). A student is allowed one re-take for at most two core modules if the grade point obtained is less than 2.5 (C+).
学生必须完成40个学分课程，并获得最小平均成绩绩点 3.00（相当于平均等级B-），其中包括核心课程。此外，7个核心课程中每个学分课程获得的成绩绩点必须至少为2.5（C +）。如果获得的成绩点小于2.5（C +），则允许学生最多重读两个核心课程。
The structure of the curriculum is derived from the need to meet the primary objective of the M.Sc. (Geotec) programme, which is to produce engineers who can plan, design and supervise construction of temporary earth retaining structures in a competent and professional manner. This necessitates the relatively large number of core modules.
课程结构源于满足硕士学位主要目标的需要。理学硕士项目旨在培养能够以合格和专业的方式规划，设计和监督临时挡土结构施工的工程师。这需要相对大量的核心课程。
Core Module
The list below shows the core modules, which are 4 MCs each.
CE4257 – Linear Finite Element Analysis
CE5108 – Earth Retaining Structures
CE6101 – Geotechnical Constitutive Modelling
CE5111 – Underground Construction Project
CE5112 – Excavation Support Systems (compulsory pre-requisite: CE5108 Earth Retaining Structures)

Note: CE6102 needs two pre-requisites/co-requisites, namely CE4257 and CE6101. In other words, you need to have taken CE4257 and CE6101 in a previous semester or are taking them the same semester as CE6102. Otherwise, the system will not register you for CE6102. In terms of contents, CE6102 will draw heavily from CE4257 and CE6101. For this reason, you are advised to take CE4257 and CE6101 as early as possible in your study.
注意：CE6102课程需要两个先修课程/并修课程，即CE4257和CE6101课程。换句话说，您需要在先前的学期学习CE4257和CE6101课程，或者与CE6102在同一学期学习。否则，无法进行CE6102课程注册。在内容方面，CE6102会大量涉及CE4257和CE6101课程内容。
