For questions 1-15, read this text and decide which answer A, B, C or D best fits each space.

Each educational programme 1________ four engineering profiles according to types of engineering activities, such as research engineer, design engineer, industrial engineer and field engineer. These four 2_________ engineering activities form rather a circle than a line. Thereby, a field engineer 3________ the activity performed by research, design and industrial engineers. The activity of a field engineer 4_________ like this stimulates the 5__________ of science, engineering, technological and social progress. The four kinds of engineering activity not only complement but also 6__________ each other. Any engineering activity includes 7__________. The activity of research engineers is impossible without a clear idea of 8__________, technological capabilities and operational requirements for products. Many of engineering problems thread all stages of engineering activity and can be successively solved as a result of cooperative efforts of all engineering types of activity. Today engineering activity requires knowledge in related disciplines not only allied but also in other 9__________ and engineering fields. Having acquired this kind of knowledge an engineer will be capable to change the field of his activity and work at the 10________ between professions.

Creativity in Engineering

Creation of new 1________ is one of the 2______ forms of creativity. What concerns engineering and many other 3_______, new knowledge is not the final purpose of creativity. The more 4________ a problem is the more difficult will be a solution, the more dedicated should be creativity. Creativity 5________ a routine work, for example to make standard 6________. Then routine work in creativity will take 7________ time, and the main attention will be 8_______ to creativity. Creativity is the 9________ of engineering activity. A 10________ form of engineering creativity is 11_______ and rationalization activities which may result in 12________.
