READINGThe Vasco de Gama Bridge

Id like to talk about the cable-stayed bridge, which is a relatively recent type of bridgedesign. Its characterized by large upright supports, which transmit the load into the ground,and steel cables, which are stretched between the supports and the deck, and give a very

elegant appearance to the bridge. A good example of a cable-stayed bridge is the Vasco de

Gama Bridge, near Lisbon in Portugal. Its the longest bridge in Europe, with a total length of17,200 meters and spans the Tagus River. As an engineering project, the bridge was a great

success and built at a cost of one billion US dollars . It took only eighteen months to construct and was

completed in 1998, slightly ahead of schedule.

The technical details of the Vasco de Gama Bridge are impressive. As I said, its a cable-stayed bridge, using a fan arrangement of cables, and H-pylons. The pylons are made of

reinforced concrete and each pylon is 155 meters high. There are 192 cables and the total span

of the bridge is 450 meters long. The bridge has being designed to ensure a minimum seismic

damage. It can withstand wind speeds of 250 kilometers an hour and its design life expectancy

is 120 years. The length of the bridge meant that engineers had to take the earths curvatureinto account when sitting the supports.

The Vasco de Gama Bridge is a motorway bridge and allows traffic between the north

and the south of Portugal and bypass Lisbon, cutting journey times and reducing congestion in

Lisbon. Traffic travelling north pays a toll of a fifteen- minute drive across the bridge, but theresno toll for southbound traffic. The bridge was built by an international consortium and financed

by European and the private sector.

MONEY CONVERSION

D. Converting Currency (*)

When you travel abroad you have to change the pounds that you usually use as money

for the local currency (currency means money).

However 1 pound usually isnt worth 1 of whatever the currency is in the place you are visiting.If this sounds confusinghere is an example.

1.00 = $1.50

1. Using the Currency Converter try to work out what 5 would be worth in each of the

currencies.

A) Chilean Pesos (CLP) .

B) American Dollar (USD) .

C) EURO .

E.

Now you have to think really carefully about these questions. Good luck!

Look at the prices of the following things then try to work out how much they would be

in the currencies written underneath them.

Becca and Kai played together all day. The two friends played outside in the morning.

They rode bikes and scooters. They ate lunch on the porch. Beccas mom made

sandwiches and lemonade. They played hide-and-seek in the house right after lunch. Then they

did not know what to do.

Is it five? asked Kai.

No, it is higher than five, Becca said.

Okay, is it one hundred?

No, it is lower than one hundred, Becca said.

Lets see, said Kai. Is it sixty?

Becca gave Kai a hint. It is between twenty and thirty.

THE LIFE OF A COLLEGE STUDENT

A.

Read about Mikes week. Then, choose one day from his routine and compare

it with your own routine. Compare the times and the activities.

Mike is a Secondary Education (Science) major. He is a senior from Tulsa, Oklahoma.

MONDAY

8:45Wake up, get in the shower

9:02Get dressed. Watch Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN2. Check Facebook, email, blogs, and

anything else online I feel like doing.

9:54Go to the bus stop to catch the 9:58 to campus.

10:14Read the paper until my

10:30Physics class starts. I take notes, answer questions, and wish I was anywhere else in the world.

11:30Analytical Chem starts. Again, I take notes and do my best to pay attention.

12:22Chem lets out. I go off campus to eat lunch at a fast food restaurant.

1:45I head (go) to Willard to use a computer lab until my next class.

2:30Physics lab starts. Its actually mildly interesting this week, so it didnt quite feel like a 2 hour trip to the

dentist.

4:20Catch the bus home.

4:45Videogames with the roommates!

6:20Make a sandwich for dinner.

6:35Remember that I have class at

11:45Astronomy ends. I dont have long, so I run to the library to grab a sandwich before lab starts.12:15I get to Chem lab early to get set up. Hopefully Ill get out early this way.

12:30Start Chem lab. Its a boring experiment about analyzing weights and statistics.

3:00Meet my physics lab partner at the library to work on homework thats due Friday.


4:45 As is tradition, videogames with the roommates.

6:00 Go to Taco Bell with my roommates for dinner.

6:45Homework. I finish the physics assignment, do pre-class reading, and work some chemistry problems.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CIVIL ENGINEERS

Civil engineers have a very important role in todays society. They are the people behind

the scenes of construction jobs which result in important buildings and structures throughout

ones city or hometown.

Items that civil engineers must take part in and use include:

chemical testing applications

drafting and design software

electrical test devices and equipment

land surveying techniques and the metric system

Some other specific duties of Civil Engineers are:

Inspect and analyze the proposed construction project.

Go to the site location.

Write detailed reports stating what is acceptable and what needs to be

changed prior to beginning the project.

Check the proposed changes are made before the beginning of the project.

Follow the project from start to finish.

Check on safety features of the project.

Use many different equations and applications.

Have to read and interpret many complex charts, diagrams, maps and reports.

Have superior analytical skills.

IV. PAIR WORK PROJECT

Interview an engineer and ask him/her about:

his/her schedule,

job responsibilities and

job satisfaction (why he/she likes the job).

Engineering Technicians

Engineering technicians assist

engineers in designing and testing

new products.

Engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, engineering,

and mathematics to solve technical problems in research and development,

manufacturing, sales, construction, inspection, and maintenance. Their work is

more narrowly focused and application-oriented than that of scientists and

engineers. Many engineering technicians assist engineers and scientists,

especially in research and development. Others work in quality control,inspecting products and processes, conducting tests, or collecting data. In

manufacturing, they may assist in product design, development, or production.

Although many workers who repair or maintain various types of electrical,

electronic, or mechanical equipment are called technicians, those workers are

classified as installation, maintenance, and repair occupations.

Engineering technicians who work in research and development build or set up

equipment, prepare and conduct experiments, collect data, calculate or record

results, and help engineers or scientists in other ways, such as making prototypeversions of newly designed equipment. They also assist in design work, often

using computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) equipment.

Civil engineering technicianshelp civil engineers plan and oversee the

construction of highways, buildings, bridges, dams, wastewater treatment

systems, and other structures. Some estimate construction costs and specify

materials to be used, and some may even prepare drawings or perform land-

surveying duties. Others may set up and monitor instruments used to study

traffic conditions.

Environmental engineering technicianswork closely with environmental

engineers and scientists in developing methods and devices used in the

prevention, control, or remediation of environmental hazards. They inspect and

maintain equipment related to air pollution and recycling. Some inspect water

and wastewater treatment systems to ensure that pollution control requirements

are met.

Industrial engineering techniciansstudy the efficient use of personnel, materials,

and machines in factories, stores, repair shops, and offices. Working under the

direction of industrial engineers, they prepare layouts of machinery and

equipment, plan the flow of work, conduct statistical studies of production time

or quality, and analyze production costs.
