5. 4. Read and translate

Engineering is the profession in which a
knowledge of the mathematical and natural
sciences gained by study, experience, and practice
is applied with judgment to develop ways to
utilize economically the materials and forces of
nature for the benefit of mankind.

6.

The 20th century has witnessed the greatest achievements in
engineering in different fields:
• Nuclear technologies provide a new source of electric power and
new capabilities in medical research and military use.
• Lasers and fiber optics are used in industrial tools, surgical devices,
satellites, and in communications.
• Petroleum and gas technologies have been used to provide fuel for
cars, home, and industries.
• Health technologies are used for developing artificial organs,
replacement joints, imaging technologies, and biomaterials.
• Imaging technologies have expanded the reach of our vision and are
used in probing the human body, mapping ocean floors, tracking
weather patterns.

7.

• Space explorations have increased our knowledge of the cosmos.
• Agricultural mechanization dramatically increased farm
efficiency and productivity.
• Electronics provides the basis for creating CD players, TVs, and
computers.
• Aeronautics and automobile industry are the basis for
transporting goods and people quickly around the world.
• Electrification has literally lighted the world and impacted
countless areas of daily life.

8.

Engineering is all around us, so people often take it for
granted, like air and water. Ask yourself, what do I touch that
is not engineered? Engineering develops and delivers
consumer goods, builds the networks of highways, air and
rail travel, and the internet, mass produced antibiotics,
creates artificial heart valves, builds lasers, and offers such
wonders as imaging technology and conveniences like
microwave ovens and compact discs. In short, engineers
make over quality of life possible.

Engineering is the discipline, art, and profession that applies scientific
theory to design, develop, and analyze technological solutions. It is
generally considered to consist of the major basic branches:
• chemical engineering;
• civil engineering;
• electrical engineering;
• mechanical engineering;
• industrial engineering.
There are numerous other engineering subdisciplines and interdisciplinary
subjects that are derived from concentrations, combinations, or extensions
of the major engineering branches.
