dc.description	To understand geotechnical engineering, there is a need for hands-on activities in order to conceptually understand soil as an engineering property. It is difficult for students to gain equitable exposure to physical, hands-on, components of geotechnical engineering when the pedagogy is virtual or distanced. Therefore, this project was designed to address the lack of a physical component for online geotechnical learners. The project consists of experiments designed to be performed from anywhere using common household materials to comprehend fundamental geotechnical engineering concepts.	en_US

dc.description.abstract	This project was done in coordination with the Blended Online Learning Discipline Fellowship. It aims to provide more opportunities for students to learn about geotechnical engineering when participating in a distanced or virtual learning environment. The project itself consists of videos and documentation of experimental assignments to go along with each video. The experiments are simple and are supposed to aid in comprehension of each geotechnical topic. The experimental results are not to be used in actual geotechnical work, but purely for learning purposes.	en_US
