Q: (Initially posted on April 28, 2003) FROM MENTEE HALEY R. IN CO
Are there roller coaster engineers? If so what field of engineering do they
pertain to?

A: FROM MENTOR SALLY RAMSDELL IN KY
Both mechanical engineers and structural engineers
would probably be involved in coaster design. Also, geotechnical
engineers would be consulted for foundation design that would be specific
to a given site.
