Science vs. Engineering
Science:1. Systematically obtaining knowledge by observation and
experience2. Use the Scientific Method3. Empirical / Objective
Engineering:1. Application of math and science by which matter and
energy are made useful to people2. Designing and implementing solutions that fulfill an
objective, need, or desire – based on knowledge3. Subjective solutions based on objective knowledge

DRILL A: RADIO TOWER – SOLUTION
A radio antenna tower stands 200 meters tall. A supporting cable attached to the top of the tower stretches to the ground and makes a 30o angle with the tower. How far is it from the base of the tower to the cable on the ground? How long must the cable be?

tan 30o = x / 200m
x = (200m)tan 30o
x = (200m) * ( / 3)
x = 115.5m
cos 30o = 200m / r
r*cos 30o = 200m
r = 200m / cos 30o

DRILL B: SHADOWS – SOLUTION
During the day, a 25 foot tall telephone pole casts a 10 foot shadow on the ground. At that same time, a tree casts a 25 foot shadow. How tall is the tree?
This problem can be solved by setting up a ratio.
(POLE) Height / Shadow = (TREE) Height / Shadow
25 ft / 10 ft = y / 25 ft
2.5 = y / 25 ft
62.5 ft = y
