随着全球经济一体化进程日益加快,世界各国商务、工程、文化等交流日益增加,培养具有扎实基本功、宽广知识面、一定的相关专业知识、较高外语水平的复合型人才成为我国高等院校培养人才的基本要求。但是,长期以来,英语专业学生着重纯语言学科的学习,忽视与其他人文学科、自然学科知识的交叉融合,导致学生知识结构单一、综合素质不高。理工科学生由于语言环境和专业的限制,无法接触到当今流行、实用的工程英语和商务英语知识。在涉外工程的沟通中常常面临极大的工作压力和困难。《国际工程贸易英语》将国际工程项目中的知识,以英语的形式表述,以期能给英语专业的学生弥补商务、工程知识;给理工科学生弥补英语知识、商务知识,尤其是涉及工程各个环节的英语知识。《国际工程贸易英语》适用于理工科大学二年级及以上学生以及英语专业的学生使用。
