Perry Creek Shelter

Perry Creek Shelter is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Perry Creek Shelter rather than just read about it. In short: The Perry Creek Shelter is in North Cascades National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington. Constructed by United States Forest Service employee Fred Berry in 1937, the shelter was inherited by the National Park Service when North Cascades National Park was dedicated in 1968.

Key takeaways

  • Perry Creek Shelter belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Perry Creek Shelter to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Perry Creek Shelter from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Perry Creek Shelter is in North Cascades National Park, in the U.S. state of Washington. Constructed by United States Forest Service employee Fred Berry in 1937, the shelter was inherited by the National Park Service when North Cascades National Park was dedicated in 1968. The shelter was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Perry Creek Shelter is a wood-framed structure, sheathed in wood shake siding on three sides, and open to the front which faces south. The shelter is 16.5 ft (5.0 m) wide at front and 12 ft (3.7 m) deep. The front roofline extends above the ridgeline, somewhat overhanging the back shed roof. The shelter is located 5 mi (8.0 km) west of Ross Lake on the north side of the Little Beaver Trail.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Perry Creek Shelter

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Perry Creek Shelter claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Perry Creek Shelter before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Perry Creek Shelter ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Perry Creek Shelter

In research
Perry Creek Shelter appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry
Engineering practice reuses Perry Creek Shelter in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom
Perry Creek Shelter is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1937, Buildings and structures in Whatcom County, Washington, National Register of Historic Places in North Cascades National Park, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Perry Creek Shelter outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
