“Engineers like to solve prob-lems. If there are no problems handily avialable, they will cre-ate their own problems.”

DEFINITION OF MECAHNICAL ENGINEERINGMechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, and was developed from the application of principles from physics and materials science.Mechanical engineers are responsible for designing, building, installing and maintaining all kinds of me-chanical machinery, tool and components. Construction is just one area you could work in as a mechanical engineer – others include the power, medical or manufacturing industries.

ROLE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERMechanical engineer manages the planning, design, construction and maintenance of various mechanical systems, including Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and rain gutter systems, in buildings and structures. They also performs the evaluation and inspection of mechanical engineering projects to ensure that standards and requirements are met.They also prepares, maintains and reviews technical documentation, such as drawings and specifications, for mechanical engineering projects.They follows applicable building codes and safety regulations in mechanical engineering.They also set up mechanical parts and specialise room condition such as room tempera-ture and humidity .

ROLE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERINGElectrical Engineer – Construction manages the design, construction and maintenance of various electrical systems and components in buildings and structures; ensures compliance with relevant building codes and safety regulations.A typical job description for the Electrical Engineer – Construction role may include designs, tests, installs, and maintains large-scale electronic equipment or machinery for use in manufacturing or power generation or transmission.

AUTOCADAUTOCAD is the most common software in constructuion field. Every drawing is been computired using AUTOCAD software and share out with other teamplays. Mechanical and electrical engineer is not exceptional from using this software . There are example of mechanical engineer and electrical engineer draw-ings in AUTOCAD software.

HARDSHIPS OF AN ENGINEER

Most of the engineers face the same hardship which is client and government. Engineers have to achieve client requirement and have to get approvement from the client before continueing the process. They have to make sure that the clients are satisfy and have to accept criteria from the client. Meanwhile , process for project is 6-12 month due to the government but most of the client or invester want to finish the project within 3 month . Without tehe government approval , nothing can be done. They have to follow up and explain to client time by time.
