Next is slide number four. Engineers are interested in energy sources. There are many sources of energy in the world. Water and wind are very old energy sources. Think about watermills and windmills. Steam is an energy source, and petrol is an energy source, too. But electricity is the most important energy source. It is the energy source in lights, and heating systems and cooling systems. It is the energy source in computers, too.
What else? Let’s see. Number five. An engineer is interested in measurement. There are many gauges or measuring instruments in engineering. For example, thermometers are gauges for temperature, pressure gauges are for pressure and clocks are gauges for time.
And finally, a modern engineer is interested in biology. Biology is the study of living things, like plants and animals and human beings. So why is an engineer interested in biology? Because there is a new type of engineering – bioengineering. Maybe this is the most important type of engineering for the future. Robots are part of bioengineering. Nanotechnology is also part of bioengineering. Nano means very, very small. Nanotechnology is important in medicine.
Now, to sum up. Engineers are interested in many things. Engines and tools. Energy sources. Measurement. And finally, bioengineering. Now, are there any questions so far?
