A. Engineering---What is it all about? Fill in the gaps of the text below with the words in the box
related to branches of engineering. (10 x 1.5= 15)

machines highway mechanical chemical

civil
electrical develop production electronic
physics
Engineering students should have an understanding of maths (1) ________________ and
chemistry. Working with pharmaceuticals, foods minerals processing and chemical
manufacturing, a (2) ________________ engineer is trained to understand, design, control,
and investigate material flows. If you enjoy problem solving and find project such as the
Channel Tunnel and Three Gorges Dam interesting (3) ________________ engineering may
be for you. You will produce creative designs at an economical price while paying due concern
to the environment. If your interest is in road building then you may decide to follow a
specialized course in (4) ________________ . By studying (5) ________________ and (6)
________________ engineering you learn about the design of complete systems, such as
computers, controllers, power and transport systems.
(7) ________________ engineers plan, design and (8) ________________ a wide range of
things: washing machines, cars and spacecraft. (9) ________________ engineers work very
closely with mechanical engineers, to make new products at the price, on time and in the
correct quality. As well as designing and selecting (10) ________________ and materials, they
also organize people and finance.

B. Complete this passage using these words: (7 x 0.5= 3.5)

Extra to meet peak insufficiently sufficient enough

Heavy duty generators have (1)_________________ capacity to supply the base load, but they are
(2)_________________ flexible to be used economically for applying any additional load. Steam-
driven generators or hydro-electric generators can increase their output of electricity quickly and
cheaply (3)_________________ to (4)_________________ most fluctuating demands. These
generators are operated at low power during the day, but at (5)_________________ periods their
output is increased, and additional diesel and hydro-electric generators can be bought into operation.

By this means hydro-electric(6) __________________electricity can be generated(7)

_________________ meet the demand which occurs between 15.00 and 18.00 hours.

C. V. Writing-write not more than 10 lines. As far as engineering is concerned, it is a

practical activity. In other words, it is putting ideas into actions. What do you think
as an Engineer, (in your area) can do in order to help the development of
Mozambique? (3.5)
