Engineering Word Search
This engineering word search covers the main branches, civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical and aerospace, and the ideas every engineer works with: load, tension and compression, the truss and the beam, and the constraint that limits every design.
Every structure is a fight between two forces. Tension pulls a material apart and compression squeezes it together. Concrete is strong when squeezed and weak when pulled, so builders set steel bars inside it to carry the tension. A truss is a frame of triangles, because a triangle cannot change shape without one of its sides stretching or shrinking, and that makes it stiff for its weight.
The Brooklyn Bridge shows how much engineering depends on people. John Roebling designed it and died in 1869 from an injury on the site before work began. His son Washington took over and was soon too ill to leave his room, so his wife, Emily Warren Roebling, carried his instructions to the site, learned the mathematics herself and dealt with the officials for over a decade. Just before the bridge opened in 1883, she became the first person to ride across it.
