Abstract

This paper presents the plan of developing a new module “Structure and Geotechnics (0834A)”, which is for the 2^th year undergraduates. The background of students for the module would be expected as civil and geotechnical engineering with strong engineering mathematics knowledge. The teaching theories used for this design include Ausubel’s subsumption Theory, Bruner’s Constructivist Theory and Wertheimer’s Gestalt theory. As Abertay aims to become a more international University, theoretical analysis of teaching for an international class have been included. A new theoretical structure is formed for a case study of potential Chinese students presenting at the class.
