Did you ever wonder who thinks up the designs for roller coasters or how a roller coaster is built? There are more than 100 large amusement parks in the U.S., and they compete to have the fastest or tallest coasters that give the most thrilling ride. Each year, many of the parks install new roller coasters. Each new coaster is designed for its specific location and the park’s needs. Then it is custom built.
::你有没有想过谁想到过山车的设计或如何建造过山车? 美国有100多个大型游乐场,它们竞相拥有最快或最高的最令人兴奋的游乐场。 每年,许多公园都安装新的过山车。 每一个新的海岸车都是为特定地点和公园的需要设计的。 然后,这是定制的。Technology Professionals
::技术专业人员Companies that design and build roller coasters employ a range of technology professionals. Technology is the application of science to real-world problems. Professionals in technology are generally called engineers . Engineers are creative problem solvers. They use math and science to design and develop just about everything—from roller coasters to video games.
::设计和建造过山车的公司雇用一系列技术专业人员; 技术是科学应用于现实世界的问题; 技术专业人员通常被称为工程师; 工程师是创造性的解决问题者; 他们利用数学和科学设计和开发从过山车到电子游戏等一切事物。Q: Whether engineers are designing and developing roller coasters or video games, they need many of the same skills and the same basic knowledge. What skills and knowledge do you think all engineers might need?
::问题:无论工程师是设计和开发过山车还是电子游戏,他们都需要许多相同的技能和基本知识。 你认为所有工程师都需要什么技能和知识?A: All engineers need basic knowledge of math and science, particularly physical science . For example, to design and build a roller coaster, they would need to know about geometry, as well as forces and motion, which are important topics in physical science. In addition, all engineers must have skills such as logical thinking and creativity. The ability to envision three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional drawings is also helpful for most engineers.
::A:所有工程师都需要基本的数学和科学知识,特别是物理科学知识。例如,设计和建造过山车需要了解几何以及力量和运动,这些是物理科学的重要课题。此外,所有工程师必须具备逻辑思维和创造力等技能。从二维图画中设想三维结构的能力对大多数工程师也是有帮助的。Careers in Engineering
