The goal of the English program at the School of Engineering and Environment is to provide you with the language skills to help you become and remain competitive.
Since English has become a lingua franca, it is very often at the heart of collaboration and research in science and technology. As a software engineer or engineer, your ability to communicate successfully in English can help you synthesize the latest research, connect with colleagues, and advance your career.
Program
Our English program is designed with Engineers and software engineers’ communication needs in mind. The program focuses on the key communication skills that you need to succeed: collaborating, negotiating, presenting, technical & academic language, critical reading skills, and learning to adapt ideas to reach target audiences. During our program, students not only learn technical language and terminology, but they also learn how to implement this by describing various processes, products, problems and solutions in real-life contexts.
Goal
Our goal is to promote collaboration within teams, develop writing skills to enable students to share research results and new ideas with colleagues, as well as to strengthen their presentation and oral communication skills and build confidence.
