Many government jurisdictions also have licensing procedures which require engineering graduates to pass an examination, similar to the bar examination for a lawyer, before they can actively start on their careers. specialized专门的, 专科的 jurisdiction管辖权，权限 license许可（证），执照 bar 律师业 土木工程是一个意味着工程师必须要经过 专门的大学教育的职业。许多政府管辖部门 还有（一套）认证程序，这一程序要求工科 毕业生在他们能积极地开始（从事）他们的 事业之前，通过（认证）考试, 这种考试类似 于律师职业里的律师考试一样。 In the university, mathematics, physics, and chemistry are heavily emphasized throughout the engineering curriculum, but particularly in the first two or three years. Mathematics is very important in all branches of engineering, so it is greatly stressed. Today, mathematics includes courses in statistics, which deals with gathering, classifying, and using numerical data, or pieces of information. mathematics n.数学 curriculum n.课程 branch n.

Before the construction of a bridge is undertaken, for example, a statistical study is made of the amount of traffic (which) the bridge will be expected to handle. In the design of the bridge, variables such as water pressure on the foundation, impact, the effects of different wind forces, and many other factors must be considered handle undertake vt.承担 amount of traffic n.交通量 impact碰撞，冲击 Variable 变量 大学里, 工科课程中着重强调数学、物理, 和化学,尤其在开始的二到三年。在工科所有 分支中，数学非常重要, 因此它被着重地强调。 今天, 数学包括统计学中的课程主要涉及集合, 分类, 和使用数字数据, 或信息。 统计数学的一个重要方面是概率, 它涉及当 有改变问题的结果的不同的因素, 或变量时， 可能会发生什么。例如，在承担桥梁的建设 之前, 运用统计研究来预计未来桥梁期望承受 的交通量. 在桥梁的设计中，(各种)变量如作 用在基础上的水压, 碰撞, 不同的风力的作用, 以及许多其它因素必须考虑。 Because a great de
