· практичне застосування теоретичних знань

· емпіричне знання

· найдавніший посібник з будівництва

· визначення цивільного будівництва

· які споруди входять до складу поняття цивільне будівництво

· підрозділи цивільного будівництва

· конкурентноздатність сучасного інженера у галузі будівництва

 

3. Make an overview of the issues :

· Modern engineers still confront many problems which were well known to their ancient colleagues.

· The most appropriate definition of civil engineering.

· The challenge of the civil engineering is that all the structures and systems are different.

· In their work engineers must meet two major requirements.

· Civil engineering systems must checked on hidden or delayed hazards.

· Undesirable effects of the Aswan Dam, one of the engineering wonders of modern times.

· A modern engineer must have a comprehensive university education.

· Mathematics is very important and ranks high in the engineering curriculum.

· A certified civil engineer has a variety of choices because people who have technical training are in demand.  

 

4. In pairs ask and answer questions about:

· Obligatory subjects in the engineering curriculum

· The importance of mathematics in all branches of engineering

· Computer programming as included in engineering curricula

· The requirements on social sciences and language arts

· Fields of specialisation for the future civil engineers

· The demand for civil engineers in today’s world

· Areas in which a civil engineer can work

· Research as a very important aspect of scientific and engineering practice

· The role of civil engineers in design

· Different engineers are involved in large projects

 

 

Role Play

1. Work as an interpreter in the following dialogue:

2. Why do many structures from ancient time still exist?   3. What does civil engineering deal with?     4. What is a professional engineer?   5. How must the civil engineering systems and projects be assessed?   6. Why did fish go away from the Nile Delta?     7. What variables must be considered in the design of the bridge?   8. What is the role of civil engineers in the space programmes?

1. Багато стародавніх конструкцій існують і досить, тому що вони були побудовані міцніше у порівнянні із сучасними стандартами. 2. Цивільне будівництво займається проектуванням і будівництвом об’єктів, які є стаціонарними, наприклад, будинки, будівлі, дамби, тунелі, мости, канали. 3. Професійний інженер-будівельник має університетську освіту з математики, природничих наук і однієї з інженерних спеціальностей. 4. Проекти і системи цивільного будівництва підлягають оцінці їх екологічного впливу на забруднення повітря та інші природні ресурси. 5. Поживні речовини, які раніше виносилися рікою, почали затримуватися дамбою і як результат, косяки риб зникли з дельти Нілу. 6. При проектуванні мосту такі змінні величини, як дія тиску води на фундамент, вплив різних сил вітру та багато інших факторів мають бути враховані.   7. У космічних програмах інженери-будівельники необхідні, щоб проектувати та будувати такі конструкції, як пускові платформи та споруди для зберігання ракет.
