Several Geotechnical Engineering-Celated Infrastructure Problems Cannot Be Quantified Comprehensively Using Classical Soil Mechanics for Saturation Soils. This emphasizes the need of analysis of using the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics (USM). The graduate course on soil mechanics for unsaturated soils is provided in the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) to Answer These Challenges. The Understanding on Geotechnical Engineering-Celated Infrastructure Problems in Indonesia is improved in the course. The understanding on the basic topics in USM is emphasized throughout the course. The Balance between the EAGENESSES FOR INNOVATIVE DESIGN AND THE CAREFULNESS in the design is conveyed using the course. The Laboratory Testing Apparatates are being developed as a part of the course as well as a part towards the implementation of USM in Indonesia. An option of stages in the introduction of USM in Indonesia is proposed.
