This project on Structural Integrity & Optimization in Welding focuses on applying core mathematical concepts such as quadratic equations, systems of equations, and graphing techniques to real-world welding scenarios. It emphasizes the importance of mathematical modeling in ensuring the safety and efficiency of structures like skyscrapers and bridges. Students will learn to model structural loads, manage material costs, and analyze stress distributions using quadratic functions. The project is divided into three weeks where students will engage in foundational work, design and stress analysis, and optimal material usage. Through various discussions, team roles, and practical exercises involving factors, graphing techniques, and error analysis in the welding context, students will enhance their understanding of how mathematics applies to welding and structural integrity.
