Here Are Some of the Questions We Ask Stan:

• Please could you explain what earth retention systems are?
• How have typical earth retention projects grown or changed over the past twenty years?
• Tell us about a challenging earth retention project you have worked on in the past and how it has benefited your engineering career?
• Getting an engineering degree does not always prepare engineering students to be managers. How do you feel about that statement, and how can engineering students better prepare themselves for managerial roles?
• What skills are lacking in newly graduating engineers, and what skills do they have which most working professionals do not have?
• What advice do you have for engineers to find and develop the next generation of engineering talent?
