I. Прочитайте текст.
What is engineering? Engineers do so many things that this question could have a very long answer. Basically, engineers use science to solve problems creatively. They apply science that is why engineering is often referred to as applied science. The principal work of an engineer is design; he has to design products, machines and production systems. When you make toast in the morning, phone your friend or fly in a plane, you experience the work of an engineer. Moon landings, cellular phones and satellites orbiting through space are possible because of engineers. Engineers are involved with the design, construction and operation of everything from razor blades and microchips to skyscrapers and bridges.
The result of rapid expansion of scientific knowledge was an increase in number of engineering specialties. By the middle of the last century they included civil, military, mechanical, mining and metallurgical engineering; then agricultural, chemical and electrical were added. This growth continued and nowadays we have aerospace, nuclear, computer, electronic, medical and industrial engineering as well. Today the specialists in engineering are so diversified that it is impossible to classify them satisfactory. There are almost 200 different types of engineering nowadays!
Technological and industrial process depends on a scientist, an engineer and a technologist; each makes major contribution to progress and plays an important role in the modern world. An engineer depends upon the scientist for new knowledge and upon the technologist for specialized assistance in translating plans into operating reality. He must have a basic knowledge of the sciences and understanding of the abstract techniques of the research engineer and he should know much of the technology employed by technologists. Perhaps the most important function of an engineer is to integrate the abstract-theoretical world and the technical-practical world. Every engineer is a member of a team often headed by a system engineer who must be able to combine the advantages of different branches.
Engineering is often defined as making practical application of theoretical sciences such as physics and mathematics. But it is impossible to cover all the subjects which an engineer may find useful in a lifetime. The education and training of an engineer must be a partnership between industry and higher education, between theory and practice. Another result of the increase in scientific knowledge is that engineering has become a profession that requires specialized advanced education. Today it must include at least 4 or 5 years of university studying leading to a Bachelor of Science degree: although technology is advancing rapidly, the underlying scientific theories and principles it is based on are constant. More often engineers, especially those engaged in research, get an advanced Master’s or Doctor’s degree. Engineers require specialized knowledge and intensive preparation with continued study after graduating from the university. Engineering education must become a lifetime study: to compete successfully every engineer must keep up with changes in his profession.
The profession has a strong organizational structure, requires high standards, and operates in the public service. Professional engineers must follow a code of professional conduct and ethics and a series of legal requirements. They have to be technically competent and operate with responsibility in conformity with accepted notions of professionalism. For an engineer the result of his labour – be it a bridge, air-conditioning unit, automobile or computer – is interposed between himself and the user. However, since people's lives are often at stake if an error is made, a high level of competence is essential.
