Connecting Faculty in Geotechnical Engineering: Thriving in a Networked World

Gallagher, Patricia M. / Alestalo, Sharon / Athanasopoulos-Zekkos, Adda / Bhatia, Shobha K. / Soundarajan, Sucheta

A robust social network, defined as a group of individuals and organizations with career-related and/or personal relationships with one another, is essential for operating successfully in today’s business and research environments. Geotechnical engineering as a defined discipline forms such a group. Faculty in geotechnical engineering form a smaller network within the discipline. Given the increasing complexity of the problems geotechnical engineers face, including a stagnant economy and an environment that requires interdisciplinary and collaborative teams, competition for new projects is fierce. In addition, among engineering fields, geotechnical engineering is a comparatively small discipline. Geotechnical engineers must therefore make and maintain professional connections efficiently and effectively.
