Hi, my name is Chaimaa Laajili, and It's my second years studying at the college Ahuntsic in Natural Science. I'm thinking about becoming an engineering, so I decided that this glossary could help other students who want to go on this field later by learning new vocabulary.On my glossary you would find 15 words related to engineering with their definition, a pronunciation, so they know how to say it a translation in French too and even sometimes images.I find these words by taking the text from Wikipedia, searching vocabulary words on my virtual writing tutor, and I found the definition on google.Now, dear readers, please take a look at my glossary this could really help you in your future career.
