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.
