Engineering English III

 SHINTANI Mayu
Course description
This course focuses on the most frequently used grammatical constructions and expressions in the field of engineering, so that students can express themselves in English in terms of numbers, units, formulas, and other expressions necessary for describing scientific phenomena. Students will read relatively short English essays on trigonometric functions, forces, calculus, waves, electromagnetism, chemical reactions, etc. In the latter half of the course, students will be trained to give simple technical presentations on scientific phenomena, experiments and products (i.e. steam turbines, cable-stayed bridges, rocket thrust, underwater sonar, etc.), with the aim of acquiring the ability to deliver information in English. Preparation before and review after every class meeting is required. In class meetings, students are expected to answer the questions they have solved in preparation. A quiz will be given in the following week to support the review of the previous class meeting. Students are expected to have taken Engineering English I and II in advance of this course.
Purpose of class
The course focuses on the grammatical constructions and expressions commonly used in engineering publications in English, and also enables students to give simple technical presentations in English on their own.
Goals and objectives
  1. be able to judge English texts and their components correctly and to write accurate English texts appropriate to the engineering context.
  2. be able to analyze the structure of English sentences used frequently in scientific descriptions as well as to extract the correct information.
  3. be able to use concise and natural English to communicate orally about familiar mathematical and engineering topics.
