Technicians and mechanics of MRO companies.

Objectives

English is the international language of science, technology, and human relations. It is also the language of the aerospace and defense industry. However, it is not often the native language of the users of technical documentation. Many users have a limited knowledge of English. Complex sentence structure and the large number of meanings and synonyms that many English words have can confuse. In aviation, it is mandatory to correctly understand maintenance and operation documentation to make sure that systems operate safely and correctly and with this protect human lives.

In this course, students will study and discuss vocabulary, grammar, case studies and technical procedures based on human factors and Simplified Technical English (STE). STE is an international specification for technical documentation. It provides controlled vocabulary, simplified grammar, a set of writing rules, and standardization of technical documents. It enhances safety by minimizing the risk of miscommunication in critical aerospace and defense applications.
