Engineering English 3

Course description
This course focuses on the most common grammatical constructions and expressions used in science and engineering so that students will be able to write English expressions necessary to describe scientific phenomena. Using the textbook, students will read relatively short passages on trigonometric functions, forces, calculus, waves, cells, chemical reactions, etc., and then solve related problems. Students are ultimately expected to develop their ability to read English texts in their chosen fields of study. Pre-class preparation and post-class review are required: reading the assigned English texts and submitting answers the day before the class. In addition, students are responsible for completing the review workbook independently. It is recommended that students take Engineering English 1 and 2 before taking this course.
Purpose of class
Students in this course will focus on the technical expressions commonly used in English engineering papers and will also be able to write their own technical texts.
Goals and objectives
  1. Be able to correctly identify and interpret the words, phrases, clauses, and sentence structures of English texts commonly used to describe scientific phenomena.
  2. Be able to write concise and clear English sentences, using correct expressions commonly used in describing scientific phenomena.
  3. Be able to correctly spell and pronounce technical terms used in science and engineering fields.
