2. Why do you think power lines are place parallel to each other? And the electric pole is made perpendicularly?
3.Buildings were design to standout with its appearance. Why do you think architects and engineers construct columns parallel to each other, while it's beams were made perpendicular to the columns?

Answer:
2. Figure 1. Magnetic field lines are defined to have the direction that a small compass points when placed at a location. (a) If small compasses are used to map the magnetic field around a bar magnet, they will point in the directions shown: away from the north pole of the magnet, toward the south pole of the magnet. (Recall that the Earth’s north magnetic pole is really a south pole in terms of definitions of poles on a bar magnet.) (b) Connecting the arrows gives continuous magnetic field lines. The strength of the field is proportional to the closeness (or density) of the lines. (c) If the interior of the magnet could be probed, the field lines would be found to form continuous closed loops.
3.Summary
Students explore the interface between architecture and engineering. In the associated hands-on activity, students act as both architects and engineers by designing and building a small parking garage.
Engineering Connection
The responsibilities of engineers and architects often overlap. Both professions are integral to the design and construction of structures, such as buildings and bridges. Architects design the space to meet client needs, as well as the aesthetic appearance of the inside and exterior of the building. Engineers' main responsibility is to ensure the design is safe and meets all appropriate building codes. Engineers concern themselves with making buildings safe and functional by selecting structural materials, determining the structural members of the design, and specify the electrical, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and plumbing systems. One way that engineers and architects communicate their ideas to each another is through blueprints, or technical drawings.
Learning Objectives
After this lesson, students should be able to:
Explain the roles of an architect and an engineer.
Give an example of the differing responsibilities architects and engineers have in building design.
Explain that the development of steel was a key prerequisite for the construction of skyscrapers.
