Exercise 24. Ask questions and use the words in italics in your answers. The words 
in brackets will help you.
1. 
Engineering
is a 
creative
application of 
core
concepts for the needs 
of every engineering branch (what kind of, what). 2. 
Engineering 
encompasses 
a range of more 
specialized
branches (what, what kind of). 3. 
Workers
who 
practice 
engineering
are called engineers (who, what). 4. In each new field, 
considerable overlap
takes place (what). 5. 
Mechanical engineers
design 
tools
that other engineers need 
for their work
(what, what for, who).

Exercise 25. Read the following dialogue, sum up the information and act out a 
similar dialogue.
Jim: Hi, Tom ! It’s Jim here. I’m calling to find out how our project’s coming 
along.
Tom: Not bad. We’re mostly on schedule.
J.: 
When do you plan to finish your material about nanotechnology, robot-
ics and bioengineering?
T.: Just a moment, I’ll look at the planner. Here it is, um… I believe by the 
end of the month.
J.: 
Why so late? What’s come up?
T.: You see, I’m not a top specialist in these areas, as you know! So I’ve got 
some problems.
J.: 
How could you keep me so long completely in the dark about this? But 
take it easy, I’ll help you! I wonder what you fail to know about nano-
technology and robotics.
T.: Let’s start with their application.
J.: Well, just general remarks! Nanotechnology brings together engineers, 
chemists, biologists and allows them to control the molecules of a material.
T.: Does it mean that they can make materials that are not just lighter, 
tougher and more flexible but also responsive and smart as well? 
J.: 
Right you are! They manufacture complex nanocomponents from these 
materials in order to create tiny machines. 
T.: OK. I see. Let’s go through some information about bioengineering then.
J.: 
If I am not mistaken, bioengineering is the application of engineering to 
biological systems.
T.: It means engineers should design products that are both challenging and 
exciting. Say, artificial joints, heart valves, just to name a few.
J.: 
Sure. What is left? Oh, yes, robotics! Robots are used for all sorts of things. 
Actually they can be used where human life may be put at risk. For sure 
you know the fields of application of robotics, just rack your brains.
T.: I think they can range from unmanned planes or submarines to robotic 
arms on production lines. 
J.: 
Yes, you are absolutely right! As you see, you’ve managed to cope with 
your tasks yourself!
T.: Thanks a lot, Jim! Bye.
J.: 
You’re welcome. I’ll get back to you in a week. Bye for now.
