Exercise 2. Read and translate the text, say what types of
engineering are mentioned in the text:
The concept of engineering has existed since ancient times as humans made fundamental inventions such as the pulley, lever, and wheel. The term engineering appeared not so long ago and derived from the word “engineer”, which originally referred to “a constructor of military engines”. Later, as the design of civilian structures such as bridges and buildings matured as a technical discipline, the term civil engineering appeared to distinguish it from the military engineering.
The earliest civil engineer known by name is Imhotep. As one of
23
the officials of the Pharaoh, Djosиr, he probably designed and supervised the construction of the Pyramid of Djoser in Egypt around 2630-2611 BC.
Ancient Greece developed machines, both in the civilian and military domains. Chinese and Roman armies employed complex military machines including the ballista and catapult.
The first steam engine was built in 1698 by mechanical engineer Thomas Savery. The development of this device gave rise to the industrial revolution in the coming decades, allowing for the beginnings of mass production.
The inventions of Thomas Savery and the Scottish engineer James Watt gave rise to modern mechanical engineering. The development of specialized machines and their maintenance tools during the industrial revolution led to the rapid growth of mechanical engineering both in its birthplace Britain and abroad.
The discipline of electrical engineering was shaped by the experiments of Alessandro Volta in the 19th century, the experiments of Michael Faraday, Georg Ohm and others and the invention of the electric motor in 1872. Electrical engineering became a profession late in the 19th century. Practitioners had created a global electric telegraph network and the first electrical engineering institutions to
support the new discipline were founded in the UK and USA.

Exercise 2. Read the text and say how many subfield the electric
engineering has:
Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline that deals with the study and application of electricity and electromagnetism. Its practitioners are called electrical engineers. In the subfield of electronics, electrical engineers construct models of electrical components (such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, diodes, semiconductors) for simulation purposes. They combine these components into larger electrical networks. The subfield of power engineering deals not only with electricity generation, electric power transmission and electricity
28
distribution but also with electrical circuits and materials (e.g. insulators) that need to resist high voltages and currents. Another subfield
is accurate measurement of electrical properties. Measuring an electrical circuit inevitably changes the voltages and currents in it. The objective is to minimize the influence of the measuring circuit or even compensate for it. Other major subfields of electrical engineering are telecommunication and electromagnetism. Transmitting information from one place to another requires a transport channel such as a coax cable, optical fiber or free space. These channels can be accurately described using the laws of electromagnetism, particularly Maxwell’s equations. Some other examples of how electromagnetism is put to every day use are antenna design for use in mobile phones. Another technology made possible by electromagnetism is the microwave oven. The tools and theories an electrical engineer can consult include mathematics and physics in general, the theory of electromagnetism, the theory of quantum mechanics, the mathematics of digital signal processing, control theory, the teachings of computer science.
