Match The Following Verbs With The Correct Definition

La ingeniería se basa principalmente en la física, la química y las matemáticas, y sus
extensiones en la ciencia de los materiales, la mecánica de sólidos y fluidos, la

termodinámica, los procesos de transferencia y velocidad y el análisis de sistemas.
La ingeniería como profesión implica diferentes tareas. puede referirse
específicamente a la fabricación o montaje de motores, máquinas herramienta y piezas
de máquinas. También se utiliza de manera más general para describir la aplicación
creativa de principios científicos para diseñar, desarrollar, construir y predecir el
comportamiento de estructuras, aparatos, máquinas, procesos de fabricación y obras.
La función de los científicos es conocer. mientras que el de los ingenieros está por
hacer: deben resolver problemas específicos

3. Here is an extract from a speech made by a careers advisor to a group of

students choosing their future courses of study at university. Complete the
speech by choosing one of the words from the box.
machines. highway. mechanical. chemical. civil. physics. electrical. develop.
production. electronic.
Engineering students should have an understanding of maths (a) physics and chemistry.
Working with pharmaceuticals, food, mineral, processing and chemical manufacturing,
a (b) chemical engineers is trained to understand, design, control, and investigate
material flows. if you enjoy problem solving and find projects such as the channel
tunnel and the three gorges dam interesting, (c) civil engineering may be for you. you
will produce creative designs at an economical price while paying due concern to the
environment. If your interest is in road building then you may decide to follow a
specialized course in (d) highway engineering. By studying (e) electronic and (f)
electrical engineering you learn about the design of complete systems, such as
computers, controllers, power and transport systems. (g) mechanical engineers plan,
design and (h) develop a wide range of things: washing machines, car and spacecraft. (i)
production engineers work very closely with mechanical engineers, to marke new
products at the right price, on time and in the correct quantity. As well as designing and
selecting (j) machines and materials, they also organize people and finance.
