<p>I can see flexibility being useful for those for are a part of the construction industry, but aren’t actually engineers. Someone who decides to go to law school with the intention of working in construction law would benefit from breadth, but no depth. Perhaps it would be helpful for future architects too, just so they know what their consultants are talking about.</p>
<p>For actual engineers, a structural engineer would benefit from having some knowledge of geotechnical engineering. Construction managers and engineers should have knowledge of both of these areas if they are working on the structural side of projects. Other than that, I’m at a lost for ideas.</p>
