Dr. Don Scott - Applied Geotechnical Design Award
Dr. Don Scott - Applied Geotechnical Design Award
Teams of students from the University of Alberta and NAIT have an opportunity to compete in this annual event supported by the Geotechnical Society of Edmonton! The challenge is to put theory into practice by designing and predicting the failure strengths of model reinforced retaining walls that the teams construct on the day of the competition, with no opportunity to undertake trial tests.
N.R. Morgenstern Student Award
N.R. Morgenstern Student Award
In 1989, the Geotechnical Society of Edmonton (GSE) established the GSE Graduate Student Award, which is presently known as N.R. Morgenstern Student Award since 1999. This award is given annually for the best seminar by a graduate student in the Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering Group or for an excellent defence of a thesis in Geotechnical Engineering or Geotechnique. Part-time students are eligible for this award.
Thurber Engineering Graduate Scholarship
Thurber Engineering Graduate Scholarship
The scholarship established by Thurber Engineering is awarded to a student with superior academic achievement registered full-time in any year of a graduate degree program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering whose field of study is Geotechnical Engineering. The selection will be based on academic achievement and the relevance of the research.
