Cambridge English for Engineering is for
intermediate to upper-intermediate level (B1-B2)
learners of English who need to use English in an
engineering environment. The course is
particularly suitable for civil, mechanical and
electrical engineers and can be used in the
classroom or for self-study.
Cambridge English for Engineering is designed to
improve the communication skills and specialist
language knowledge of engineers, enabling them
to communicate more confidently and effectively.
With an emphasis on listening and speaking, the
ten standalone units cover topics common to all
fields of engineering such as monitoring and
control; procedures and precautions; and
engineering design. Authentic activities based on
everyday engineering situations - from describing
technical problems and solutions to working with
drawings - make the course relevant and
motivating.
In addition, a set of case studies available online
provide problem-solving in authentic engineering
scenarios.
The online Teacher's Book has extensive
background information for the non-specialist
teacher, useful web links and extra printable
activities.
