Unit 1, using dictionary.
Today's industrial engineering graduates are employed by all types of industry to design, improve and install systems (procedures and methods involving the use of man, machine, and materials). For the most part, they are concerned with production , although the analytic fact-finding approach used by these engineers is applicable to almost any business or service enterprise. Among the common functions performed by industrial engineers are the analysis of product design to determine the optimum manufacturing process ; the selection of equipment and design of the equipment layout; the design and installation of systems for controlling production, inventory, quality , or costs ; job design and methods improvement; design of material handling systems; manpower utilization and work measurement and operations research. Industries have found that their managers perform better when they possess a blend of technical engineering knowledge plus a background in management. The industrial engineer has an excellent understanding of these two fields ; technology and management.
New words.
.background:The ground or scenery located behind something.
.blend: To combine (varieties or grades) to obtain a mixture of a particular character, quality, or consistency.
What i think about the paragraph
I think that talk about the function of a industrial engineer which is very wide; the control of process, the analysis of systems and production; methods for elevate it

welcome to my blog.

Well in this blog i m going to talk about my career industrial engineering ....things and words relate to it
Hi, My name’s Manuel Duque . I’m from Maracaibo, originally. I live in Maracaibo, I’m 19 years old and I study industrial engineering at URBE .
I love music , dancing, playing soccer, driving my car, surfing the net , studying English, chating with my friend on the messenger, my family , my country and my dog. .

I hate vegetables, smoking, listening to hip hop, getting up early on the weekend, and washing the dishes.

I want to graduate from Engineering School and be a good engineer. I’d love to work in an important company maybe a transnational and buy a sporting car, get married and start a family; travel around the world , see a game of the fifa world cup or a game of the champions league.


I think English is very important. I listen to music and watch TV in English with closed captioned. It’s a good exercise. I can write well, but I need to practice more. The most difficult for me is to listen. I need to practice more. I hope I can make a lot of friends and practice speaking in this class.

Thanks..
