Activity 1:
The study of soil behaviour under the influence of loading forces and soil-water interactions is known as geotechnical engineering. As a warm-up, write down the key things that comes to your mind when you think of preparing detailed geotechnical design in a civil construction project.

Activity 2
On your own, or with a partner, take another look at the list above. Rank each point in order of importance to you. Then, (if you are working with another person), compare your results with your partner. If you are working alone, use the space below to make some reflections on your list.
Points for reflection:
1) Which aspect ofpreparing detailed geotechnical design is the most important to you? Why?
2) Which is the least important? Why?
3) Do you think that different aspects may be more or less important to you and to others at different points of the lifespan? Why do you think people's priorities may change at different points in time?

Activity 3:
In this activity, you are required to create a PowerPoint presentation explaining the procedure toensure filing of design records is completed.
