English language for Mechanical Engineers

Overview:

Given that the English language has become a key player in academic and professional development, either in terms of scientific references or in dealing with international bodies and organizations.

…and since general English language is somewhat far from the professional terminology, which represents the backbone of professional and academic activity,  thus this course has been modeled to effectively facilitate access to the professional objective, namely  mastering ESP so that the participant should not navigate aimlessly in the vast space of language.
