Summarize the interview questions with the probable answers to be asked to a practicing geotechnical engineer as given below:
What is the reason for you to choose the geotechnical engineering stream?
I am very keen in investigating the material and subsurface conditions. It helps me to analyze the present and future stability of natural and manmade features.
Nowadays, why education is considered as a necessary one to practice in the field?
A person was bare to field testing for slope factors, settlement and erosion for result analysis in the laboratory. He/she intended and designed various types of foundation and earthworks for tall structures. He/she will be good in conducting Standard-Penetration Test (SPT), tri-axial test and in computing Atterberg limits for all different kind of soil types.
What is (FE) exams, and how could a person get a Professional Engineer (PE) license?
Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exams are carried out by the government especially for engineers who are eligible and interested to do the work in public related services. The examination is conducted by means of two sessions whereas each sessions has a time period of 4 hours. The goal of the exam is to test the academic knowledge of the engineers at various levels. It acts as a gateway for engineers to become a Professional Engineer (PE).
Nowadays, what education is considered to be a necessary one to practice in the field?
In addition to Geotechnical engineering, a knowledge in geo-synthetics would help them to gain further knowledge in academic and also field related matters.
By reducing capital investment, it helps in improving the engineering properties. These materials are largely utilized in the zones which requires high durability. It has better scope in the future as the construction field requires low capital high revenue materials for structures made by humans.
How can a PE license influence the promotion and salary?
There is 20% difference in salary between a professional engineer holder and an employee without PE license. Person with PE license will get an edge over shortlisting for various job interviews.
PE license is necessary for person to start a consultancy firm by their own. It also helps in gaining promotion at steady intervals.
