Here we will talk about the importance of English
in the engineering. For non-native English users,
English is very important because it is widely
spoken all around the world. Knowing English
allows people to enjoy the they are. For
engineering students whose mother tongue is not
English, mastering English is even more
important, not only for their academic life but
also for their prospective career.
At the present, every company through his
communication requires the use of the English
language, to achieve an efficient connection
between co-workers, clients or superiors.

For non-native English users, English is very
important because it is widely spokenall around
the world. Knowing English allows people to
enjoy their life and work no matter where they
are. For engineering students whose mother
tongue is not English, mastering English is even
more important, not only for their academic life
but also for their prospectivecareer.
In order to master the engineering knowledge and
skills better, engineering students should own the
English language competence. Most of the
scientific papers or journals in the world are
written in English. Most of the engineering graphs
are also marked in English. Moreover, most
engineering professors in various universities are
also conducting their lectures in English. Hence,
engineering students should at least master the
Basic English ability to deal with the countless
English lectures, tutorials, labs, projects and
papers. Finally, they have to submit their
important theses, still in English.
When engineering
students graduate
from the college and
become real
engineers, they will
find that English
appears even more
crucial than it used to
be. The property of
their work determines
that being an
engineer needs to
cooperateand
communicate with
different people from
different part of the
world. For non-native
English speakers,
unfortunately, most
of the engineers
speak English as the
first language or the
working language.

This situation has led to define / redefine the value
proposition of the engineer as a social construction within
his occupational profile. Forthis reason, professional
associations in engineering should pay attention to an
aspectoften forgotten: ethics. Do we really know the value
of ethics in professional performance?
Do engineers really apply the principles and values in the
development of their projects?
What needs to be done so that there is a way in our
Association that offers coherence between word and
action?
The professionals of the different branches of
engineering need something that allows them to
have and maintain their good name, in order to
guarantee the tranquility of their clients and their
companies, demonstrating a better image and
professional reputation.
ETHICSOF THE
ENGINEERING
Begins by delivering and
exemplify a new
professional culture as a
model for new generations,
ratifying their commitment,
orienting their action
towards values such as
responsibility, integrity,
leadership, honesty, and
well-being, among others.
This should be encouraged.
In engineering communities
and guilds, to irradiate it the
universities. Such
associations should consider
it as a success forits
professionals and as a
benefit for society.
However, the excessive
emphasis of the economic
on the ethical dilutes
reflection on the future of
his works and the
consequences of his services
in society.

The term sustainability is often discussed and
there is a variety of research on the theme.
Without unique definition, there are series of
research and studies that consider the terms
sustainability and sustainable development as
synonymous and there are others which don't.
This study selected
103 relevant articles
within a period of 28
years, with the aim of
analyzing the
sustainability theme,
characterizing the
stage it is, the gaps and
challenges for future
contributions. The
issues discussed are
diverse, as discussions
on the environmental,
economic and social
dimensions, growth
and limits, living
standards, use of
resources, indicators
and indices, tools,
models of
sustainability; there
are many concepts and
debates about
sustainability, but its
applicability is rare.
However, there is a
consensus on
sustainability
challenges: integrating
economics,
environment, society
and institutional
issues, considering the
consequences of the
actions of this in the
future, awareness and
involvement of
society.
