Found this also: Peck Celebration Playlist created by the Geo-Institute of ASCE, which also contains above video, and many others by the same man, and/or in memory of him:
From the description of the playlist, it seems like an understatement to say that Peck was a big deal in his field:
> On June 23, 1912, Ralph Brazelton Peck was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In his 95 years, he became a giant in the field of geotechnical engineering. He spent the majority of his teaching career at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, and continued to work as a consulting engineer until well into his 90s. The many awards bestowed upon Professor Peck included the ASCE Norman Medal (1945), the ASCE Terzaghi Lecture (1963), the ASCE Wellington Prize (1966), the ASCE Karl Terzaghi Award (1969), and the United States National Medal of Science (1976).
> This playlist was started to celebrate Ralph's birthday and will be added to periodically.
> Special Session Commemorating the "Legacy of Ralph B. Peck" presented during the Seventh International Conference on Case Histories in Geotechnical Engineering, April 29 -- May 4, 2013 in Wheeling (Chicago), Illinois. Conference organized by Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO.
Our geotech prof at university played this for us (civil structural). I think it's applicable everywhere and very much a fundamental for engineering mindset, even if you hadn't heard it stated quite like that.
