Nuclear engineers Tremendous energy is trapped in the nucleus of a tiny atom. that energy is the work of nuclear engineers. They search for efficient ways to capture the of energy from a atom and put it to use. Nuclear engineers can be found developing numerous applications for nuclear energy including power plants for consumer heat and electricity. Methods for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, of food supplies or sterilization of medical instruments and systems to power ships and spacecraft. Nuclear engineers also make sure that atoms awesome power is used with care and that nuclear waste is disposed of safely. The for success in nuclear engineering include strong in physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics as well as technical writing and computer programming, a creative approach to problem solving and a college degree in one of the engineering sciences is also needed. nuclear power is used in aircraft-carriers and submarines, naval experience is also a path to this career. The majority of nuclear engineers work for public or engineering consulting firms. Nuclear engineers have to be very responsible people who take great pride and great care in the work that they do. 7.3. Translate the phrases given below from English into your language.

Measuring that is the job of environmental engineers. They apply their engineering skills to assess the of projected or actual human activity, from the use of off-road recreational vehicles to housing developments. They also work to manage natural and control pollution. Theyre also involved in , waste disposal and public health issues. Many environmental engineers work as consultants helping their clients with regulations and clean-up operations at hazardous waste sites. Usually environmental engineers have a four-year college degree. How much training they need and where they get it depends on their specialization. Their specialization also whether they work indoors or outdoors and how much paper work they have to do. Environmental engineering is a career that combines and creativity because both qualities are needed to find solutions to environmental issues. When this job is done well the Earth a little protection so future generations can also enjoy its bounty. 8.3.
