Master of Science - Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering - Geotechnical/Geoenvironmental

The Civil Engineering program at Arizona State University emphasizes sustainability as an integrated approach to engineering that focuses on the long-lasting improvement of the human condition.

Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering at ASU is focused upon unsaturated soil mechanics, waste mechanics, and geotechnical earthquake engineering. ASU is a leader in unsaturated soil mechanics applied to the performance of pavement subgrades and the impact of expansive soil upon foundations. Our unsaturated soil mechanics laboratory is one of the finest in the world and our Enamul and Mahmuda Hoque laboratory has unique, large scale equipment for static and dynamic testing of waste materials. Our research strengths include the seismic design of geosynthetic lined landfills, groundbreaking work on microbially-induced carbonate precipitation for remediation of earthquake hazards, mitigation of geologic hazards and environmental protection and remediation.

You can be a part of local, national and international research efforts to promote safe and sustainable development including transportation, water resources, buildings and other man-made structures.
