Content- Responsibilities- Scope of work- Tasks at different stage of construction- Types and Functions of drawings

Who are Mechanical & Electrical

Engineers?- work with architects and structural engineers.- Instrumental part of the design team.

Sizing and layout of Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) , routing treated air and design of lighting & communications system.

Mechanical Engineer provide solutions to development of processes and products, ranging from small component to extremely large plant, machinery or vehicles.[ construction industry : HVAC]

Scope of Work

Electrical Engineer work on development of lighting and communication systems.

What do they do?

Before Construction- Implementing cost-effective equipment modifications.

(help improve safety and reliability)- Developing and evaluating theoretical designs.- Research, analyze, planning (mathematical modeling ).- Recommending modifications following prototype test

results. (Design & Experimenting )

During ConstructionMonitoring and commissioning systems.

Direct and coordinate manufacturing, construction,installation and maintenance activities.

After ConstructionMake sure a system can function again reliably and will perform consistently in specified operating environments.

Inspect complete installations and observe operations, ensure operational compliance (teamwork).
