Engineering course work experience

题目与答案

1. What are the TWO benefits of including work experience in the first year of the engineering course?
   • It encourages students to develop their sense of responsibility
   • It famillarizes students with engineering equipment
   • It helps students understand work-related terms
   • It helps students decide in which area to specialize
   • It frees students from doing work experience in the second year

   答案：It famillarizes students with engineering equipment,It helps students understand work-related terms

   原文定位：For a start, you get shown how to use different tools and machines, which you'll probably be using later in an actual job;And everyone working around you will be using engineering language specific to the job and their individual roles. I guess that helps put it all into context and makes it more meaningful

   同义替换：「engineering equipment」↔「tools and machines」，「work-related terms」↔「engineering language specific to the job」

2. Which do the students agree are the TWO best criteria for choosing a work experience placement?
   • the chance to have paid holiday
   • the chance to see interaction between staff members
   • the chance to see examples of problem-solving by management
   • the chance to participate in a range of work activities
   • the chance to be employed there after graduation

   答案：the chance to see interaction between staff members,the chance to be employed there after graduation

   原文定位：Well, I knew I wanted to end up in civil engineering, so I applied to a company that I thought I'd like to work for in the future once I finished college, like with a proper contract;Okay, so what you mean is apply somewhere that I'd actually like to work once I've finished the whole degree. That makes sense;And I suppose it also needs to be a place where I can see communication between different employees, how they work together. That's something you have to discuss in the report you write after the work experience is finished. So it's essential, yes

   同义替换：「interaction between staff members」↔「communication between different employees」，「be employed there after graduation」↔「work for the company in the future once finished college」
