Fields where industrial engineers work

 Industrial engineers work in a wide range of fields. But

they are perhaps most commonly planning factory
layouts, ie. where machines should be placed and
organized to maximize productive capacity. They are
also commonly involved in what is sometimes called
lean engineering, which is essentially about the
minimization of waste in industrial processes. Industrial
engineers can also be found working on ergonomics,
supply chain management, process engineering and
many other areas shown in the previous slide.
Industrial engineers solve a
variety of problems relating
to the many areas that they
work in.

Problems

engineers
solve
For instance, they might be
called into a factory to help
improve productivity by
addressing issues relating to
ergonomics, the positioning of
manufacturing equipment and in
fact almost anything relating to
the supply chain.
 Vocabulary: Translation
industry (n) – үйлдвэрлэл
supply chain (n) – хангамжийн сүлжээ
facility layout (n) – тоноглолын ерөнхий байршил
inventory (n) – эд хогшлын бүртгэл
logistics (n) – тээвэр зууч
quality control (n) – чанарын хяналт
cost effective (adj)– зардал багатай
ergonomics (n) – ажиллах нөхцөл
assembly line (n) – үйлдвэрлэлийн дамжлага
capacity (n) – хүчин чадал
operation (n) – үйл ажиллагаа
output (n) – гарц, бүтээгдэхүүн
productivity (n) –ажлын бүтээмж
streamline (v)– оновчтой хялбарчлах
 Lesson B Genetic engineering
It is a fast growing field whose
work could make a major difference
to life as we know it. The ability to
alter and create new forms of life that
could not exist within nature is a new
ability that may raise practical and
ethical issues.
It is accomplished by inserting
important new genetic material into a living
organism of some kind. It could lead
to revolution in agriculture as crops
genetically engineered to be resistant
to certain diseases and pesticides are
brought onto the market.
New medicines and techniques
can be developed by studying
animals that have been genetically
altered to suffer from human
diseases.
 Lesson B Genetic engineering
It is hard to say if genetic engineering, in
itself, will help or hurt people. Advances in
science can help or hurt people depending on
how they are used.
Those who advocate genetic engineering
usually point to how the introduction of crops
that are resistant to disease could help feed
people in poor countries.
Those against them note that there is
already enough food in the world to feed
everyone, and that these crops are simply being
engineered to increase the profits of the
companies that make them. Many argue more
generally against genetic engineering, saying
that since we can’t yet know the consequences
of its use, we should proceed with great
caution.
Others object on religious grounds, saying
we have no right to tamper with nature.
 Vocabulary: definitions
Vector- something that is used to transfer genetic material
GMO – an organism that has undergone genetic change
Manipulate – to change or influence something
Desirable gene – gene that we want to have
Deficiency – a lack of something necessary
Expression – a gene causing a characteristic
Trait – a distinguishing characteristic
Transformation – change
Gene – a section of DNA
Molecular cloning – the process of copying gene
DNA probe – a DNA fragment that finds manipulated genes
DNA – a part of chromosome that holds genetic material

DNA DNA probe chromosome

 PRACTICE: Putting in right order

Procedure for drilling and blasting works as follows:

Finally dust and rubble is removed and the new tunnel surface is
reinforced. After that the rocks are collapsed by detonating the
explosive. First some holes are drilled into the rock. Then these
holes are filled with explosives.
