Выписать из текста глаголы в Passive Voice «THE FUTURE OF THE ENGINEERING PROFESSION»
Among various recent trends in the engineering profession computerization is the
most widespread. The trend in modern engineering offices is also towards
computerization. Computers are increasingly used for solving complex problems as
well as for handling, storing, and generating the enormous volume of data modern
engineers must work with.
Scientific methods of engineering are applied in several fields not connected
directly to manufacture and construction. Modern engineering is characterized by the
broad application of what is known as systems engineering principles.
Engineers in industry work not only with machines but also with people, to
determine, for example, how machines can be operated most efficiently by workers. A
small change in the location of the controls of a machine or of its position with relation
to other machines or equipment, or a change in the muscular movements of the
operator, often results in greatly increased production. This type of engineering work is
called time-study engineering.
A related field of engineering, human-factors engineering, also known as
ergonomics, received wide attention in the late 1970s and 1980s when the safety of
nuclear reactors was questioned following serious accidents that were caused by
operator errors, design failures, and malfunctioning equipment.
Human-factors engineering seeks to establish criteria for the efficient, human-
centred design of, among other things, the large, complicated control panels that
monitor and govern nuclear reactor operations.
