Engineering Involves:
• Problem definition and problem solving• Developing devices, processes,
structures and systems• Applying knowledge of science and
math – Physics, chemistry, material behavior– Integral Calculus, differential equations,
statistic

What is a Civil Engineer?
•Improves quality of life through the provision of infrastructure-Buildings, bridges and other structures
-Highways
- Dams and levees
-Water treatment plants, waste disposal
•Safety, functionality, elegance and economy of product and process

Distance Formula
The distance between two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2 , y2 ) is
d = (x2 −x1)2 + (y2 −y1)

Example:
Find the distance between A(5,2) and B(3,12)
d = (3−5)2 + (12 −2)2
d= (−2)2 + (10)2
d= 4 +100
d= 104 ≈10.198

Answer:Answer:
d = (7 −0)2 + (0 −5)2
d= 72 + (−5)2
d= 49 + 25
d= 74 ≈8.60

Our Engineering Problem!Our Engineering Problem!
We have been hired by the great state of Nebraska to design a road that will connect Huskerville and Big Red City. Both Huskerville and Big Red City are towns right on the Platte River that during game day are very popular. Thus, we want a
road that connects the two.

Specifications:
Huskerville is 12.35 miles to the North and 23.84 miles to the west of Big Red City

For example:
• If I decided to put the bridge to the point (8,0) I would have to figure these two distances then multiply them buy their costs.

Bridge CalculationsBridge Calculations
From (0,12.35) to (8,0)
Cost = 14.71 10 = 147.10 million dollars
From (0,12.35) to (8,0)
Cost = 14.71 10 = 147.10 million dollars
d = (8 −0)2 + (0 −12.35)2
d= 82 + (−12,35)2
d= 64 +152.52 ≈14.71 miles

Distance from (8,0) to (23.84,0) is
23.84 - 8 = 15.84 miles
Cost= 15.84 1 = 15.84 million dollars
Distance from (8,0) to (23.84,0) is

Total Cost and Distance:Total Cost and Distance:
Total Cost = Bridge cost + Road CostTotal Cost = 147.10 + 15.84 = $162.94 million dollars
Total Distance = 14.71 + 15.84 = 30.55 miles
Total Cost = Bridge cost + Road CostTotal Cost = 147.10 + 15.84 = $162.94 million dollars
Total Distance = 14.71 + 15.84 = 30.55 miles

Conclusion:
» We are under our budget. » Can we make a shorter road
that costs a little more, but still under $185 million?
» In teams of two, you try. There is a prize for the winner!!!
