I. IDENTIFICATION OF THE COURSE

1.1 Subject: Industrial Reports.

1.2 Code: ICI-5204

1.3 Duration: 4 hours a week

1.4 Requirements: Ing. 2201-English II

ICI-5151 Management Systems I

II. DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE

The course, semestral and obligatory, aims to develop a comprehensive knowledge of both basic and specific English so as to prepare Civil Industrial Engineers for further more specialized learning for not only academic but also cultural and occupational purposes.

III. OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

GENERAL AIMS

To develop the ability to read and understand scientific texts such as thesis and dissertations, and to obtain of them general or specific information so as to write reports based on the extracted knowledge; in this sense, students must be able to present orally their works in front of an academic commission which will evaluate them their written projects and oral presentations.

To write industrial reports in regard to projects of engineering, following Harvard´s procedures and models developed by the American Society of Quality (ASQ-USA).

To know somethings about the UTEM and CYBERUTEM frameworks as a first approach of industrial engineering in our University.

To work in a neural network environment

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

At the end of the semester, students must be able to identify cultural differences among English–speaking countries; in the same way, students will be able to write reports and papers mostly, using English as a tool that will give them access to knowledge about information technology, globalization and scientific and technological advances.

IV. TEACHING POINTS

Communicative Grammar (Based on Industrial TOEFL standards).

Grammatical concepts oriented to communicative function.

Grammatical background for writing purposes.

MID : modelling industrial dynamic : there are two different branches , but in a very good relationship between them or consistent with rules of thumb

1.neoclasical approach it means , the firms are disegned as rational decision units controlling for the total industry state path a stocastic process.

2.evolutionary approch it means analogies between biological evolution and the economic development by selection and survival of good strategies. The decision makers applied routine behavior or decision rules which according to Blonsky ( Elsevier Sc. 1999) can result as the unique equilibrium of a complex dynamics stochastic interactive enviroment .

ICT :Industrial catastrophe theory or the loss of stability in the industrial dynamic system . The new mathematical point of view of Malthusian approch

Sequence of ideas.

Use of software :

ANN artificial neural network , TES the econonist system , PERT project.
