Abstract
In Nigeria, a developing nation striving for a sustainably built environment, the academics and practicing engineers jointly play a major role in shaping Geotechnical Engineers. From undergraduate studies to Industrial Work Experience, there is a need to appraise the ecosystem to ensure that learning is experiential and devoid of bottlenecks while individuals graduate from the university to face industry realities.
