Frequently asked questions

  • Mechanical engineering is the science behind the design of operational machinery, from small scale components to larger facilities and systems. It encompasses core concepts such as mechanics, physics, thermodynamics and materials science.

  • Mechanical engineers within a construction project are responsible for consulting on and designing the mechanical plant systems on a project, such as the air conditioning, ventilation systems, heating and cooling. They will make sure these systems interact with each other to keep a comfortable temperature and ensure that the fresh air supply and humidity is sufficient to keep air pollution concentration at safe levels. They will utilise computer aided design/modelling to create technical project plans.

  • Efficient mechanical engineering is essential for heating, cooling and ventilation systems that promote health, comfort and sustainability. This is what makes a building a nice place to be for its occupants and ensures the building functions as it should.
