The career of engineering is the second most common career in the world, only second to teaching. That said, there is either a good chance that you’re an engineer, or that a conversation concerning engineering will come up at some point that you’d want to participate in. At some point you’ll need to know the basic words for electricity, voltage, battery, motor, computer, battery charger, etc.
I’m an engineer, and I remember back when I was first learning engineering a decade or so ago I had to learn the ‘engineers vocabulary,’ technical terms every beginner must understand. Well, when coming to Thailand, I felt like a noob engineer all over again. I didn’t know the Thai words for the most simplest of engineering vocabulary. Well, here is a good compiled list of all the basic terms you’ll need to get by. Following is a second list of engineering professions.
And of course, here is a video that uses many of these words to help you practice listening.
