Engineering is a job that takes science to an
everyday use. The science that is taken into engineering is the
calculations of how something is going to react for everyday
problems, such as winds, rain, lightning, traffic, the environment,
and etc. Also, tension and compression are a major factor for math
and science. This is so because tension and compression is
science by being a force. Tension and compression relates to math by
being something that has to be supported by exact measurments, and
calculations. As you can see on the picture below, the tension is
caused by the cars and the weight the bridge is supporting. The
tension from the bridge shoots up on the wires in until it reaches
the top. The compression is the force caused by the tension and
gravity of the earth's atmosphere. The compression is guided by the
vertical poles. Once this force reaches the surface of the bridge, it
guided down another bar going into the land and/or water. You may
think that engineering just requires construction workers well,
building a structure or bridgecan take 4-8 years and can take more
than 600 people to finish a structure. Can you believe that there is
a job just for measuring the math and science of tension and
compression.
Enineering relates to math by taking the exact calculations of the problems, and putting that to use. Such as a bridge, you must calculate the measurments and strength needed to hold up its own weight. This is how engineering relates to math and science.Key
