ISSMGE President Prof. Charles Wang Wai Ng writes today to all geotechnical engineers and invites them to learn from ISSMGE virtual university as follows:<\/p>\n
Dear all,<\/p>\n
We are all under the threat by the COVID-19 and have suffered and affected by it one way or the other. Many universities and training centres are closed. Many students and engineers may not be able to access and receive necessary education and training. This is a serious disruption to their future. However, the free ISSMGE\u2019s online \u201cVirtual University\u201d should be able to assist them while they are at home or under quarantine. We have developed seven full courses including:<\/p>\n
Course 1: Risk-Mitigation, monitoring & Observational Methods
\nCourse 2: In Situ Testing
\nCourse 3: Earthquake Engineering
\nCourse 4: Foundations
\nCourse 5: Soil Characterization
\nCourse 6: Geo-Engineering Education
\nCourse 7. Unsaturated Soil Mechanics<\/p>\n
In addition, there are many webinars available online. Please visit the ISSMGE website to find out more details as follows:<\/p>\n
