  • Very interesting and helpful podcast

    I listened to a few of Isaac’s podcast and enjoyed the value he delivers to the industry by providing this platform to share knowledge.

    I recommend listening to his podcasts, especially the one with Robert Otani who talked about how there is a lot of information about AI and a lot of negative coverage about it, and that it's still important to focus on how to use AI in the smartest and best way for companies.

How Clara Feitoza Passed the FE Exam Using Only Our Free Resources
Q: What tips would you provide to somebody preparing to take the FE Environmental exam?
Devote yourself to a consistent study routine, practice thousands of problems, simulate full-length exams on weekends, and use a clear objective per month to track progress; build familiarity with the FE Handbook so you're comfortable with its layout and the types of questions you'll encounter.
How Top AEC Firms Are Using AI Today With Bhragan Paramanantham
Q: What would you say to someone who is thinking AI might threaten their job in civil engineering?
AI is a tool to augment rather than replace; it speeds up repetitive tasks and frees engineers to focus on judgment-rich work, while you audit and guide its outputs.
A Deep Dive into the World of Land Development With Jason Cheramie, PE
Q: What advancements do you see in this industry? Is there new material or technology that excites you?
He notes permeable pavements and advanced stormwater treatment options, but emphasizes that regulatory review and implementation bottlenecks slow adoption; universities like NC State test new concepts, but broader use requires proven results and agency approval.
