MSc Geotechnical Engineering
Course Overview 項目概述
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.
理學碩士（岩土工程）的主要目標是培養能夠以合格和專業的方式來規劃，設計和監督臨時土方支護結構的施工以及比標准基礎更複雜的其他岩土工程問題的工程師。次要目標是爲希望在高度專業化的岩土工程領域接受培訓的工程師提供繼續教育。
Course Structure and Tuition 課程結構與費用
Tuition: S$18,475 (per semester)
學費：新幣18,475 (每學期)
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.
授課型的理學碩士課程通常在晚上進行，並且一旦考生通過規定數量的科目的相關考試便可授予學位。學生可以非全日制或全日制學習參加這些課程。但是，申請時不是新加坡長期居民的國際申請人只有資格申請全日制碩士課程。

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
課程設置&畢業要求
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+).
學生必須完成40個學分課程，並獲得最小平均成績績點 3.00（相當于平均等級B-），其中包括核心課程。此外，7個核心課程中每個學分課程獲得的成績績點必須至少爲2.5（C +）。如果獲得的成績點小于2.5（C +），則允許學生最多重讀兩個核心課程。
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.
課程結構源于滿足碩士學位主要目標的需要。理學碩士項目旨在培養能夠以合格和專業的方式規劃，設計和監督臨時擋土結構施工的工程師。這需要相對大量的核心課程。

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課程需要兩個先修課程/並修課程，即CE4257和CE6101課程。換句話說，您需要在先前的學期學習CE4257和CE6101課程，或者與CE6102在同一學期學習。否則，無法進行CE6102課程注冊。在內容方面，CE6102會大量涉及CE4257和CE6101課程內容。
