Hello rock doctors,

Just out of curiosity if theres any instances of mech engineers working in the field of geotech? How transferable are the skills?(if at all) is it even something that happens? Im undergoing a bachelors in mech engineering and im happy with my choice but prior to that I worked 6 years in geotechnical rope access, so lots of landslip remediation, drilling, grouting, tensile testing, capping beam, retaining walls, shotcrete etc etc I actually loved the work and gained a lot of great experience. Just wondering if that experience would help me if it was possible/ever decided to look into working as an engineer in geotech? For example one of company engineers was a materials engineer by trade. Thanks guys, appreciate your work!! Honest feedback appreciated

1st year mech. Studying the phase diagram just isnt sticking. I understand it upon observation but recalling it is just a mess. I find it abstract and all over the place so its hard to retain. Are there any successful strategies/resources people have used when learning the topic that made it a bit more intuitive or is just going be through brute force?

Im new to this and would love to have a log book. I noticed many of the logbooks do not have a picture of the species of bird as well as a place to comment and record. Ive seen either books on identification which dont have the space to journal or there is a logbook without the pictures.. i'd love to have both if anyone knows of a good seller? Thanks!
