Engineering English (SD)

Learn to communicate effectively in the highly technical language of engineering with this comprehensive and rigorous course. As part of CISL’s Premier English program, English for Engineers students attend small classes (no more than 4 students per class) and focus on aspects of the English language for professionals working in the engineering industry as well as Engineering students and recent graduates preparing for a career in the Engineering industry.

This course is for those currently working in (or interested in) all engineering fields, including civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. It is also ideal for those who work in branches of the industry, such as engineering technicians and technical managers.

This 2, 4, or 6-week course includes:

- Vocabulary focused on engineering and technology (dimensions, precision, and causes and effects, etc.)

- Language related to design phases and procedures and processes

- The ability to express problems and solutions as well as capabilities and limitations

- Practice working with written instructions, drawings, and notices

- Verbal focus on the ability to discuss quality issues, repairs, maintenance, technical requirements, regulations, standards, suitability and relative performance

- A strong emphasis on language for suggesting ideas and solutions

- Classroom activities focused on mock work environments for additional verbal practice with communication in engineering

Students who qualify for the English for Engineers course must be at the B2 Level.

CISL recommends that Engineering English students also enroll in the Career English program, which gives students the opportunity to practice their newly acquired English skills at a San Diego Engineering firm. Click here for information on Career English program .
