CEA - Geotechnical Discussions with Kurt Brown

CEA - Geotechnical Discussions with Kurt Brown

This week’s guest on the Civil Engineering Academy Podcast is Kurt Brown, a licensed professional engineer (PE), with a lot of experience and knowledge to pass on to the next generation of civil engineers, specifically for those considering the possibility of going into the Geotechnical discipline of Civil Engineering. Kurt defines the years he had to go through without being able to take the PE exam, and preparing for it, as the most challenging ones. He took the Civil Engineering Academy’s Ultimate Civil PE Review Course in order to refresh his mind after being out of school for almost ten years.

This is a great episode to listen to some pieces of advice, tips, and insights from a professional engineer who has worked in a variety of areas, including insurance (Yeah! You read it right.). Kurt has performed many different tasks and has also been through some hardships and tough times, especially during the financial crisis when he faced a layoff. So come play in the dirt with Kurt!
