This document contains information about engineering and English skills. It discusses the importance of English for engineering students. Mastering English is important for academic success and future careers in engineering, as most scientific literature and lectures are in English. It also discusses the importance of engineering skills for the environment and ethics. Engineering can improve lives but also needs to consider the entire lifecycle of products and their environmental impact. The document also contains puzzles and games related to engineering vocabulary words.

3. What is
Engineering?

4. Engineering is the application of science and math to solve
problems. Engineers figure out how things work and find
practical uses for scientific discoveries. Scientists and inventors
often get the credit for innovations that advance the human
condition, but it is engineers who are instrumental in making
those innovations available to the world.
The history of engineering is part and
parcel of the history of human
civilization. The Pyramids of Giza,
Stonehenge, the Parthenon and the
Eiffel Tower stand today as
monuments to our heritage of
engineering. Today's engineers not
only build huge structures, such as the
International Space Station, but they
are also building maps to the human
genome and better, smallercomputer
chips.
Engineers design, evaluate, develop,
test, modify, install, inspect and
maintain a wide variety of products and
systems. They also recommend and
specify materials and processes,
supervise manufacturing and
construction, conduct failure analysis,
provide consulting services and teach
engineering courses in colleges and
universities. The field of engineering is
divided into a large number of specialty
areas like, mechanical, electrical,
chemical, industrial, civil, among
others...

5. The importance of
English for
engineering students

6. For non-native English users, English
is very important because it is widely
spoken all 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 prospective career.
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.

7. 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.
Engineers usually work in groups
since their task can seldom be
solved by an individual. The
property of their work determines
that being an engineer needs to
cooperate and 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. In order to understand
and coordinate with their
colleagues and accomplish their
projects fluently, engineers have
to speak good English.
All in all, non-native English
engineering students should try
hard to improve their English
ability, which could help to make
both their school life and career
more successful and enjoyable.
This 4-week program is for aspiring
engineers who want to develop
specialized English language skills
for graduate study and/or
professional engineering jobs.
Participants practice their listening,
speaking, reading, and writing skills
to become more effective
communicators in the engineering
environment.
Entrance Requirements To apply to
this program, students should have
an intermediate to advanced level
of English. Applicants must submit
a recent TOEFL or IELTS score or
other indication of English
proficiency.

8. Enviroment in
Engineering

9. Humanity has always
engineered the environment
around us. From the earliest
days of wetland drainage and
the need to acquire fresh
water, to keep it flowing and
keep it clean enough to drink,
building cesspits to take away
our waste and to stop
pollution of vital waterways,
we have always strived to
maximize our sanitation and
living conditions in order to
expand and survive.
W
e've always needed to find bigger and
better ways of taking away our sewage,
cleaning our water and harnessing natural
or artificial water supplies for our health
and environment.
Engineering is closely related to the
environment, is a growth area with many job
opportunities in fields such as bushfire
protection, carbon management, climate
change, sustainable systems, land and water
management, conservation and hydrology,
waste management and renewable energy.
Career opportunities exist in government
environmental organisations and in a variety of
consulting and technical roles in industry.

11. Ethics in
Engineering

12. “It’s about looking past what people
would know about and understanding
what your obligation is''
One of the most powerful gifts of
engineering is how it improves
lives. But, in the wrong hands, it
can be the opposite.
One example he uses involves a
fastening attachment. “Let’s say
you project into the future what the
consequences might be,” he says.
“If an outside inspector said a
certain fastening attachment isn’t
at the level of quality required,
who’s responsible for fixing this?
Should the one who did it in 2001
be even though the standards
might have been different?
If you put something in that no
longer is up to code, is your
company obligated to say
something if that outside inspector
was never involved and no one
brought it up? Making an ethical
decision is thinking about the
lifecycle of a project or product or
design, not just assuming
everything is fine. What may be
OK in 2001 may not be fine in
2013 because technology,
policies, and design methods can
all change.”
An example he had students
look at is the Tesla electric car.
“It’s very interesting because
you would think about the
responsibility of the safety of the
car—but what about the
batteries?” he says. “Some day
that car will go to a landfill and
how is that battery for the
environment? If you think of the
life cycle, does the company
have a responsibility to properly
dispose of the car—should that
be part of the offering to a
customer when they buy? After
all, it may not be a factor for
more than a decade.”

13. Offering up these examples
and teaching the course gets
students to visualize their
careers ahead. There will be
moments for advancement
that could pull at their
conscience.
Decisions can be made that
could literally decide lives. “It
gets them thinking about who
they want to be,” he says.
“The working world can put
pressure on anyone.”
It also allows them to consider
what assumptions they’ve
always made. “We talked
about the technological
concept of offering Wi-Fi for
free through the government”.
“So many thought it was a
great idea. Then we talked
about the fact our taxes pay
for the government. Is it fair
someone else will have to, in
the end, pay for the Wi-Fi?
''Ethics are opportunities for a healthy
debate''
Is it fair to ever call something
offered from the government
free? Suddenly, [fewer]
people thought it was a great
idea or that it should be
presented as free.”
Marcy finds many students
are most engaged by ethical
decisions that aren’t easy
choices but require making
decisions that can be seen in
many ways. “Ethics are
opportunities for a healthy
debate”.
“It’s a chance to really see
different ways to look at a
problem. You do that when
you create something but also
when you look at the moral
implications of that creation.
Being ethical isn’t always
about cut and dry answers but
getting yourself to actually
consider the possibilities. By
doing that, you’re already
ahead of many people.”
