Episode Synopsis

I was recently reading the July-August 2025 issue of "The Science Teacher", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association. In this issue, I read the section, "Career of the Month" written by Luba Vangelova.  She wrote an article entitled, "Rollercoaster Engineer Greg Lewis." Rollercoaster engineers design and maintain amusement park rides.  The largest parks have staff engineers; the rest contract out such work to companies that specialize in this field.  Greg Lewis works for Skyline Attractions, based in Orlando, Florida.
