I just finished the Global Certificate in Engineering Geology and Soil Mechanics, and I'm really happy with what I learned. The course was pretty chill, but still super informative. I liked how we got to explore real-world examples of landslides, tunnel engineering, and foundation design. The instructors were cool, and the discussion forums were actually pretty helpful. One thing that really stuck with me was the importance of considering geological hazards in construction projects - it's crazy how much of a difference it can make. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in geology or engineering.
