THE ROLE OF SCIENCE IN MANUFACTURE
Future improvements in productivity are largely dependent on
the application of science to manufacturing. This depends in turn
on the availability of large numbers of scientifically trained
engineers. The higher schools can serve the needs of industry in
two ways: by performing basic research and by training
well-qualified engineers in the manufacturing field.
There is a growing need for engineers who are familiar with
the fundamental problems in metal processing and
manufacturing. In the near future many of the engineers will be
recent university graduates. A few will come through courses of
study in industry. Others, having a basic engineering knowledge
will continue additional studies at colleges to prepare themselves
for work in industry. Therefore, an engineer does not finish his
education when he receives his diploma, particularly in the fields
of interest to tool engineers who are to study new developments,
constantly.
There are numerous ways in which industry and education can
cooperate on problems of common interest. Scientists and
research engineers are engaged in work that is intended to
provide a scientific approach to many purely industrial problems.
These scientists and engineers can make a real contribution to
engineering education or academic research. They can, for
example, teach advanced engineering courses and they can
actively participate in basic and applied research.
Similarly, large and complicated projects of new technologies
could well be handled by institute researchers working on
practical applications. This would often provide the most
efficient approach to the solution of processing problems.
2. Scan the text for information that answers the questions below:
1. How does higher education help to improve manufacture
and develop industry?
2. What must a qualified engineer know to meet the needs
of industry?
3. How do scientists and engineers contribute to
engineering education?
4. What can help to solve the processing problems?
3. Match the following words and definitions:
a. availability 1. to act in a certain capacity
b. serve 2. giving something to someone
c. research 3. be held
d. graduate 4. be employed
e. be engaged 5. the state of being ready for use.
f. contribution 6. a scientific investigation
g. be handled 7. a person who holds an academic
degree.
4.Arrange the following sentences according to the text:
1. Both scientists and engineers can make a contribution to
engineering education and academic research.
2. An engineer does not finish his education when he
receives his diploma.
3. There is a close cooperation between industry and
education.
4. The higher school can serve the needs of industry.
5.Discuss with your partner:

industry?
2. Why does an engineer have to continue his education
after receiving a diploma?
3. What is the role of science in manufacture?
