- 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. CALL NOW! (480) 463-8715
- 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.

- 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.”
