Read one text each and note the information. 1 Which way of studying technology does your text describe? Why did the student choose this way? What kind of courses do the students take? How long does it take to complete their study? What kinds of jobs can they dowhen they complete their studies? wewn 2. Now find out from the others in your group about the texts they have read. a 4) University Cristina is a second-year student of Electronic engineering at university. She decided to study at university because she wants the best choice of career and because she's interested in doing research in digital communications in particular. Most degrees take three years to complete, but some take up to five years because they include periods of work experience. Degrees may have a broad focus, for example Electrical engineering, or focus on a specialized area, such as Power and High-voltage engineering. Cristina’s course is broad-based to start, but she can specialize in digital communications later. Engineering can be studied in combination with other subjects. Cristina is taking German because she wants to spend six months ina German telecommunications company. This work experience will earn her credits towards her degree. ‘There is a wide career choice for graduate Engineers in design, production, quality assurance, and other fields. They may also work in marketing or become managers, Cristina hopes to become a Research Engineer, finding, new and better ways of doing things.

He chose to study full time because he wanted to geta qualification before he started work. He thinks that being at college will give him more time to decide exactly which career he wants to follow and that having a qualification first will help him to get the kind of ob he wants. Colleges offer a wide range of vocational qualifications. Courses combine applied science, practical skills, and technical know-how. An Electronics Technician, for example, studies physics to understand the principles of the subject, leas how to find faults inequipment, and acquires a great deal of knowledge about electronic devices and components. Courses also include Communication skills to help students deal with communication at work and with the public. College courses may take a year fora certificate and two years fora diploma. When he graduates, Okan can, start work asa Technician or goon to further study at university, a | Apprenticeship Alessandro has just started as an apprentice Aircraft Fitter with alarge defence industry company. Apprenticeships are a way of combining work with practical training, He chose an apprenticeship because he wanted toleave school and start working and earning money as soonas possible. ‘Today, apprentices combine work, on-the-job training, and part-time study on a day-release basis at a local college, paid for by their employer. Apprenticeships last from one tothree years.In Alessandro’s case, over the next two years he can obtain vocational qualifications to become skilled Technician. He can also study to obtain entrance qualifications forhigher- level studies so he can goon to becomean Aeronautical Engineer.6 Unit? Gadget box Problem-solving 1. Work in pairs.

This course is a vocationally- focused higher education qualification. It provides the high level of technical skills that will be needed by many organizations. Foundation Degree: for learners from a backgrounds, including those who have work experience but do not have conventional entry requirements. = The Foundation Degree in ‘Computing (Web Technologies) will include IT Applications (Access and Excel), System Design, User Support, and Professional Studies. Additional ‘modules enable particular specialisms to be developed. ‘These include Website Development, Visual Programming, Database Systems, Networks and Communications, and Website Management. 3 ‘The course is delivered using tutor-led classes, workshops, practical sessions, and tutorials. Additional support is given when requested. For the two-year course: students ‘must have at least one year of experience in related employment and an employer who is wil support them by providing suitable work-based learning Projects and academic ‘monitoring. Prior knowledge of ‘computing is helpful but not essential. The programme of study requires you to study twelve modules over two or three years. eck _ auld ‘Studying over two years requires. attendance for one day per week from 9 a.m. till9 p.m. with breaks. ‘©Darlingten Coiege 2006. Adapted from online prospects Allunits are assessed and graded. ‘Most units involve in-course assessments. Systems Design and Networks and ‘Communications are assessed by ‘examination. To be awarded a Foundation Degree, you must pass a minimum of ten modules. Further study: The Foundation Degree in Computing (Web Technologies) has been designed to enable successful students to progress tothe final stage of the University’s Honours Degree in Computer Studies should they wish to do so. This would involve just one more year of full- time study or two years of parttime study. career: ‘A Foundation Degree opens up the possibility of acareerin a wide range of areas throughout commerce, industry, entertainment, and the public sector.

Student A Gotop.i0. student B Inthe past, the only way to test the sweetness or firmness of fruit, such as apples, peaches, and apricots, was to select samples of the newly- harvested fruit and eat ther! Farmers assumed that if they used this type of destructive testing ona few fruits, they would know about the condition of all the others in the batch. Now, every individual fruit can be tested using non-destructive technologies tograde and sort them. Imaging spectroscopy or multispectral imaging can measure the sweetness and firmness of fruit. An optical detector fuses four laser beams, each at a different waveband of light, into one. An imaging spectrograph, a digital camera, and acomputeranalyze the amount of laser light thatis absorbed by the fruit. This indicates the sweetness of the fruit, while the firmness is measured by the amount of light bounced back ‘This technology has many other applications in industry and in space exploration, but in the fruit industry itis used to sort fruit just after ithas been picked. 2.

Irrigation is necessary in parts of the world where rainfall is low or where rainfall is restricted to certain months in the year. The treadle pump is an effective and environmentally friendly technology used in many areas of Africaand Asia to lift water from shallow aquifers or canals. It costs about a quarter of the price of a motorized pump ~from as litle as US$12 to about $35 —and costs less tooperate. The operator uses his / her body weight and leg muscles in awalking movement to pump the water. The pump can lift water froma depth of up to seven metres and produce between 3,500 and 5,000 litres of water per hour. It does not require a great deal of effort, so can be operated by anyone in the family, from children to grandparents. tis ideally suited to areas where the water table is at ahigh level. The treadle pump can provide water for upto 0.5 hectares ofland and is very suitable for most small farmers who cultivateless than this. The pump consists oftwo pistons positioned inside two cylinders. Two treadles are connected to the pistons by a piece of rope. By treading on the two treadles in a walking motion, the pistons rise and fall creating a vacuum that allows water to be pumped. The user has a handle to grip and the whole pump stands ona wooden baseboard. Wateris drawn through a hose, pressurized, and then dischargedin a steady flow through the discharge pipe tothe field. For many farmers these low-cost irrigation pumps have removed their reliance ona single crop, allowing them to grow more crops out of season. They can obtain higher yields and grow higher-value crops such as fruits and vegetables. This technology is helping the poorest in the world escape poverty and become more entrepreneurialFood and agriculture 15 Nee 2 Before youread,lookat the table.
