I think I can probably spell "geotactical", errrr . . . "geotabernacle" . . . errr . . . well, I was going to say I could spell it 3 times out of 4, but maybe not . . . am I still qualified? :rolleyes:
Seriously, I'm curious -- I don't think I've heard of that field of engineering -- what do they do?

They are soils (dirt, sand & rock) engineers, they analyze the sub surface composition and properties of soil to determine the soil bearing capacity among other things.

Makes me wish I'd kept up with the civil engineering degree...
Oh well.
I'll still take the free beer, though. ;)
