Engineering - 1-: Exercise

Engineering is based on principles of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. It involves applying scientific knowledge to design, develop, construct, and analyze structures, machines, and processes. There are many branches of engineering defined by their focus, such as chemical, electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering. Engineers work with various equipment like boilers, cranes, pumps, and machine tools to treat metals using processes like annealing, anodizing, forging, electroplating, founding, galvanizing, grinding, hardening, rolling, softening, tempering, and tinplating.

Engineering -1-

Engineering is based principally on physics, chemistry, and mathematics, and their


extensions into materials science, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, transfer and
rate processes, and systems analysis.
Engineering as a profession involves different tasks. It can refer specifically to the
manufacture or assembly of engines, machine tools and machine parts. It is also used more
generally to describe the creative application of scientific principles to design, develop,
construct and forecast the behaviour of structures, apparatus, machines, manufacturing
processes and works.

 Different branches of engineering require different equipment that are based on


different processes.

Branches of Engineering:
The following words/phrases are all followed by 'engineering'

Chemical , electrical , electronic , civil , highway , hydraulic , mechanical , industrial , mining


,petroleum production, production and structural .

Equipment in Engineering:

Boiler, crane, pump, turbine, machine tool, gas engine .

Processes in treating metals:

Anneal , anodize , forge, electroplate , found, galvanize , grind, harden , mint ,plate , roll ,
soften , temper , tinplate.

Exercise:

Match the following verbs with the right definition.

Anneal: to make materials tough by cooling them slowly, e.g. glass


Anodize: to give a metal a protective coat by using it as an anode in electrolysis, e.g. car
components
Electroplate: cover with a thin layer of metal using electrolysis, e.g. car components
Forge: to shape metals by heating and then hammering, e.g. horse shoes
Found: to melt metal and then pour it into a form, e.g. iron components
Galvanize: to protect from rusting by coating in zinc, e.g. food cans
Grind: to polish or sharpen by rubbing on a rough surface, e.g. stone
Roll: to make thin sheets of metal by passing it between large rollers, e.g. steel
