2. DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE.

The course, semestral and obligatory, aims to develop a comprehensive knowledge of both basic and specific English so as to prepare Civil Industrial Engineers for further more specialized learning for not only academic but also cultural and occupational purposes.


3. OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

3.1

GENERAL AIMS


To develop the ability to read and understand scientific texts such as thesis and dissertations, and to obtain of them general or specific information so as to write reports based on the extracted knowledge; in this sense, students must be able to present orally their works in front of an academic commission which will evaluate them their written projects and oral presentations.

3.2

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES


·

To write industrial reports in regard to projects of engineering, following Harvard´s procedures and models developed by the American Society of Quality (ASQ-USA), SOCE, IEEE, ECAAR and ISO.


·

To know somethings about the UTEM and CYBERUTEM frameworks as a first approach of industrial engineering in our University.


·

To work in a neural network environment or UVN2 (University Venture Neural Network)


·

At the end of the semester, students must be able to identify cultural differences among English speaking countries; in the same way, students will be able to write reports and papers mostly, using English as a toll that give them access to knowledge about information technology, globalization and scientific and technological advances.
