Technical Presentations
We offer technical luncheons to our members featuring presenters from the geotechnical and geoscience fields. On a monthly basis, we invite industry professionals to donate their time to present on geotechnical concepts and project designs used in real-life applications. On an annual basis, the student chapter also creates the opportunity for graduate students to present their thesis projects. These technical activities bring industry and research into the classroom for students to learn real life application that relate to their studies.
