WHAT IS ENGINEERING

The branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

Engineering combines science and math to solve real world problems.

Engineers use trigonometry when they do calculations of angles & elevations for construction and other projects, as well as in physics and principles

The main way trigonometry is used is when flying an airplane and using manual flight computer to calculate the component of wind correction needed to maintain track across the ground
