I am watching Dr. Rogers' series for entertainment. It sure beats watching inane television. One thing that I see over and over and that is of tremendous value is the connection between the academic world and the real world. My degree is in Applied Engineering and it was focused heavily on the interaction and communication with clients, technical resources, and vendors. Proposals, formal communication, presentation of analysis, these are the tools of the trade as much as the math. Even more so since most people don't understand the math anyway. Dr. Rogers just made a comment on contracts and boilerplate. Yes you will see huge dozen page contracts that are bloated with cumulative boilerplate. Nobody reads a bloated contract nor do they litigate a bloated contract because it costs too much and takes too much time for the lawyers to nitpick it. Doing a little research on your client can tell you what their legal history has been. If they screw service providers and consultants walk away.

Your knowledge on this material is beyond encyclopedic. How you could move from California to Missouri I can not fathom since I am from Belleville and moved to Cal in the 70's.

Given its broad application, everyone should understand GEOLOGY - therefore this video has been indexed and a link added by DR-KNOW / iq-2k Information Services - roughly 650 videos have indexed for this series

Is Rock Physics the same or similar to Rock Mechanics Please? Or, is it different?

12:00 Generally, as a Civil or Structural Engineer, be careful of boiler plate notes. I've relied too much on default notes.

Geology, an art as much as a science, has always baffled and worried engineers. And while geologists have provided mankind with massive sources of energy such as coal, gas, and flatulence, engineers have been relegated to merely designing tanks to hold these natural resources. Engineers tend to carry defensive weapons of pocket protectors, slide rules, black socks, and lousy humour, although these tools are a poor match for the geologist's rock hammer, hand lens, and Brunton\Breithaupt compass. Note that Microsoft software engineers have neglected to include Brunton or Breithaupt in the Microsoft Word spelling check. Differing world view is a fundamental reason for Geologist-Engineer conflict. Geologists view the world as a beautiful array of possibilities and a wealth of variability; a terrifying idea for detail obsessed and pigeon-holing Engineers. Rough estimates and 'back of the envelope calculations' have long conflicted with engineers' need definitive and quantifiable answers. Geologists, secure in their vague estimates have forever conflicted with engineers and their need for a definitive, quantifiable answer since the building of the pyramids. The ancient Egyptian engineers had determined that the Great Pyramid would require 6961105709.356732519874886510 metric tons of stone blocks to construct. The ancient Egyptian geologists yawned and disagreed. When it turned out that only 6961105709.356732519874886509 metric tons were required, the geologists sneered and said, "I told you your calculations were wrong." The geologists, having been proven correct and superior, have been envied by engineers since that fateful day. Adding further heat to the argument, Engineers commonly envy a Geologist's ability to take time off from his work. Geologists tend to carry their paraphernalia with them even while on break. Hence a Geologist strolling through the park or hiking around a property is viewed as 'on the job' by his or her superiors or employer, ergo always maintaining a facade of hard work. This infuriates engineers, who seldom get time off, nor any pleasure from their work. Similar activities by an engineer may result in demotion or unemployment, thus stoking the fire of their fury at the superior Geologist. Geologists also outlive engineers, who bored by their pitiful existence often forsake engineering for senior management and then have to deal with geologists who have become very skilled in manager-baiting. A complex art that revolves around telling managers almost what they want to know but phrasing it in jargon and vagaries to cause minor unstable mental episodes and periods of delusion followed by depression. Many engineers end their days in cosy little rooms playing with amateur radio or trying to coax a new computer to boot up in CP/M. Subclasses of "normal" Engineers are the Geo-technical and Mining Engineers.

That's one of the funniest KZbin comments I've come across.
