Calling all FUTURE ENGINEERS…Every year in February we celebrate EWeek. No matter what month it is, you can dive into this engineering career study and learn more about what types of work each engineer does to help our world.
Spark your math thinking!
- Set up your math mini spark recording page: #88: EWeek
- Learn about 5 different types of engineers. Record the type of engineer and a description of the work they do https://www.mathcounts.org/resources/engineers-week
3. Look over the descriptions for Hydraulic engineering and Geomatics Engineering.
Hydraulic engineering is a subfield of civil engineering that centers around the transport and management of water resources.Hydraulic engineers design things like channels, canals, dams and levees. They must consider many factors before beginning a project, including the collection, storage, flow, measurement and use of the water, in order to ensure its control, safety and cleanliness
Geomatics engineers collect data and then analyze and interpret it to find solutions Geomatics engineering plays an important role in construction, transport, communication, mapping and research.
4. Choose one engineering type and work on two (or more if you want) of the problems from the problem set.

5. Ask your EY teacher to check your work. Solutions are in the mini spark folder.
6. Share your math mini spark recording page with your teacher/EY coordinator.
