TAKE-OFF TECHNICAL ENGLISH FOR ENGINEERING

Abstract

Take-Off – Technical English for Engineering is an integrated-skills course designed for students preparing for academic study as well as for standardised NVQ Level 2 and above. This textbook is primarily intended for non-native students of English who are studying engineering. Moreover, it is designed to meet the English language needs of students in a range of engineering specialisations. The Take-Off textbook reaches out towards a wide audience of both pre-work and in-work engineers whose practical or theoretical aspirations are driven not only by gaining an insight into the essential engineering vocabulary these students will need in their working lives, but also in a strong grammar syllabus. Whilst exploring various aspects of engineering texts that occur in engineering organisations, the Take-Off textbook also presents key engineering concepts concisely and with well-labelled illustrations throughout the book. The comprehensive range of engineering components provides the students, future engineers, with ultimate flexibility to tailor the textbook contents to their engineering needs.
