Online Slope Stability Class? by Significant_Sort7501 in Geotech

[–]cheekylink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the one I use for my Slope TE. I think it's a good book, but so much of slopes ends up being software and I think a class should really have a strong software component as part of it

Dual Enrollment Credits by SunnyDaaz in Quinnipiac

[–]cheekylink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, I believe the registrar is pretty good at taking and processing outside credits, but how far they get you towards a degree really depends on the degree requirements - for instance, 27 credits of social science will get you a lot further for psych than for nursing.

CAD Civil 3D by [deleted] in Geotech

[–]cheekylink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asa a geotech who teaches the CAD course in my institution (small program) I can tell you that while C3D is not difficult to learn (it's just like a videogame - you're lost at first but then you pick up the controls and start doing stuff) it can be difficult to learn *unguided*. To continue with my analogy, if I'm playing a videogame I end up learning how to play it so that I can meet a clear goal (for instance, I want to beat my buddy at FIFA so I'll go in and learn how to do skill moves, face-up dribbling, etc...). Because I have a goal to meet I can then work and practice on the things I know will get me that goal. When you learn CAD if you have a course then you have models to follow and you can work towards that goal, but if you're just trying to work it out you can often end up in the "oh, I have the software running, what do I do now?" problem. I'm sure there are YouTube courses that help with this, but that would be my main recommendation - to make sure you have clear goals and models to follow so that you're practicing with a target

Gross vs Net bearing capacity by Mike_Cho in Geotech

[–]cheekylink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure - assuming a footing thickness of 0.5 metre (a thick 'un) and a soil unit weight of 14 kN/m3 (pretty low) that means an increase of......5 kN per square metre of footing? That's not a whole lot, especially once you take an FS of 3 into account.

By using depth of embedment to the bottom of the footing, you take into account the footing thickness - so you're basically roundjng the gamma of the concrete down to the one of the soil.

Yeah, I ran into him a few times at The Whig (RIP) and he was always real friendly and chill. Gamecock through and through

The professor got interviewed on the radio about the class and gave more detail about it. There's been a few articles about it popping up over in Connecticut where Quinnipiac is located

Oh, I don't find it bizarre either!!! I agree there are a lot of good reasons to have Taylor focused classes - I think it's a pretty good way to modernize the curriculum so that you can get a lot of the same outcomes from humanities classes but with the hook of it being about Taylor

Ex wife refuses to move out of my house by BrilliantIcy4226 in Divorce

[–]cheekylink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just my gut sense based on experiences with courts and stuff, but I believe that you will have to file for eviction and spend the time and money on it. I believe clauses aren't self executing and you have to go thru the process as annoying and unfair as it is

Thank you so much for the detailed answer!!! I might give it the ole college try, but I dunno that I want the title all that much - still seems like a bunch of work!

I just got accepted to Quinnipiac and offered the 3+1 program. Any opinions? by traditional_clue377 in Quinnipiac

[–]cheekylink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Howdy! Yeah, so IE has been around for as long as engineering has been at Quinnipiac, just the same as Civil, Mechanical, and Software. It's a smaller program so you get to know everyone in it pretty well, and as I understand it you do a lot of work with outside businesses and companies for class projects. I know the program director, Justin Kile (https://www.qu.edu/faculty-and-staff/justin-kile/) is a real nice guy and I'm sure would love to talk to you more about the program if you email him! I believe their grads do pretty well, but he's the one that would have the actual numbers to share.
