TARGET GROUP Students enrolled in the following degree programs: Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics and Advanced Energies. A good knowledge of the English language is a prerequisite. Structure and Goals of the Course This course helps students learn the proper ways of communicating and acting in technical and business situations while using a foreign language. The course covers relevant topics from the areas of business, mechanical engineering, mechatronics and advanced energies. Students will practice using English successfully in specific professional situations, e.g. participating in technical discussions and negotiations, preparing technical descriptions, giving lectures and making presentations, incl. descriptions of graphs, tables, etc. Reading comprehension will be improved by using authentic texts, while listening comprehension will benefit from training in situations taken from professional life (summarizing lectures, taking notes, etc.). Students will learn better business- and technology-related writing skills by composing business letters and technical reports. This language course will use the most up-to-date written and audio-visual materials, as well as computer applications. STUDY MATERIAL Teaching material will be provided. This course is a subject-related language course, not a technical seminar or lecture in English. Knowledge of mechanical engineering/mechatronics/advanced energies is a prerequisite.
