With the Department of Highways,

Engineers work in many different

areas:

Planning Design

Construction Maintenance

Traffic Bridge Inspection

Where do we need a road?

Does the public have any suggestions?

About how much will the new road cost?

Do we have enough money?

Exactly where should the road go?

How wide should it be?

How steep should it be?

How fast do we want the cars to go?

Engineers must also considerthe environment…

…and Unique Plants and Animals-likethe Indiana Bat

Community Involvement is also important in engineering…
