Mechanical and Electrical Construction

This course focuses on the systems and technologies used in the mechanical and electrical aspects of building construction. This course explores the design, installation, and maintenance of HVAC, plumbing, lighting, power distribution, and fire protection systems. Students will learn through lectures, detailed case studies, and hands-on labs about the standards, codes, and practices governing these systems. Emphasis is placed on understanding system integration, energy efficiency, and the sustainable practices in mechanical and electrical construction.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Technical Knowledge of MEP Systems: Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, including their design, function, and integration within modern buildings.
• Standards and Code Compliance: Gain knowledge of the relevant codes and standards that apply to mechanical and electrical systems in construction, ensuring compliance in all project phases.
• System Installation and Troubleshooting: Acquire practical skills in the installation, testing, and troubleshooting of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
• Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: Understand the principles of energy efficiency and sustainability as they apply to MEP systems, learning to implement solutions that reduce environmental impact and operational costs.

These outcomes aim to equip students with the necessary skills to effectively manage and contribute to mechanical and electrical construction projects, ensuring they are safe, efficient, and compliant with current standards.
