sum of the tasks they carryout individually. This is known as the synergy effect. For instance‚ the Canada Geese are migratory birds that fly in a ‘v’ formation. As each goose flaps its wings it creates an "uplift" for the bird that follows. The aerodynamic V shape formation reduces the air drag (air resistance) that each bird experiences when in flight in comparison to a bird flying solo. This adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone. When a goose gets sick‚ wounded or shot down

Unexpected Arrivals All over the world there have been unexplained happenings that many believe to be other types of life forms. Do you believe in unidentified flying objects (UFOs)? People all over the world think about if other forms of life exist and there are plenty of files to support extraterrestrial activities that occur throughout the world. The government has hidden many documents containing these unexpected arrivals‚ such as Area 51‚ and many files were missing pieces of information

the gasoline engine is unlikely to be replaced by ethanol‚ hydrogen or electric powered engines anytime soon‚ contrary to what the media has everyone believing (333). For example‚ car companies are redesigning the electric car model to be more aerodynamic so the cars can fit smaller batteries in them but are still able to last a whole day’s driving. Refueling electric cars would simply involve plugging it into any electric outlet (334). White indicates pros and cons of alternative powered vehicles

Have you ever wondered how trajectory and the pressure in the atmosphere affects the spin of a soccer ball? I don’t really play soccer that much‚ but I’ve never understood why the ball curves in the air when you kick it. For my science project‚ I wanted to learn about the pressure in the atmosphere and how it affects a soccer ball in flight. I believe that understanding Bernoulli’s Principle may help to explain why the trajectory affects the spin of a soccer ball. Daniel Bernoulli never imagined

and engineering career paths are impacting today’s changing world even more by the day. Almost everything we do has an element of all three of these fields. For example‚ cars use math inequalities when you see a speed limit. It uses friction and aerodynamics from science to calculate the max speed. It’s design and build are a result of the evolution of engineering. No matter how advanced and complex our inventions become‚ mathematicians‚ scientists‚

An engineer by training‚ Gustave Eiffel designed some of the finest and most recognized structures in the world today. Specializing in metal structural work‚ Eiffel’s accomplishments range from the Nice observatory to the Statue of Liberty. His brilliant career was marred only by the fraudulent charges brought on during the construction of the Panama Canal. Gustave Eiffel was born in Dijon‚ France in 1832. He graduated from the Escole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures in 1885‚ the same year
