Communicating as an Engineer Spanish B2 - BMEGT60LNGS405-01

The aim of the subject is to enable students to communicate in the target language in communication situations related to engineering work in the role of an employee or middle manager, both orally and in writing.

1. The students know the name in the target language of some important occupations, activities and tools related to their field of expertise and future work.
2. They know the purpose and structure of some documents related to engineering activities (e.g. documents related to design, innovation, reporting on implementation).

1. The students can talk about their studies, career choices and professional interests.
2. They can discuss career opportunities for engineers, talk about their own priorities and planned work activities in the target language.
3. They can deal with communicative situations related to workplace disputes, conflicts and joint planning.
4. They are able to give feedback in the target language, justify decisions, have an evaluative discussion and give instructions.
5. They can have a formal conversation with a client or customer (e.g. negotiate prices, terms and conditions).
6. They understand simple information texts and videos on engineering topics.
7. They can describe a process in their fields of expertise (orally and in writing).
8. They can write a polite letter (e.g. to a client or customer).

1. 1. They strive to communicate in the target language.
