The ABCs of Mechanical Engineering for the Non-Mechanical Engineer

Learn where to find the technical guidance you need for real-world projects you are working on.

This topic will help you obtain and apply experiential knowledge developed over many years on all types of infrastructure projects by professional engineers, architects and construction managers. This knowledge base is huge and navigating it without an efficient search methodology is very difficult. For example: when confronted with a project in your office calling for the design of a central steam boiler plant to serve a college campus, where do you go to get proven technical guidance to guide you? How have central steam boiler plants been designed in the past? What works and what doesn't? You can now answer these questions using proven technical guidance that has resulted in countless successful building and infrastructure projects.

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to describe your project requirements graphically and using written specifications so your projects can be completed effectively and efficiently.
  • You will be able to identify the technical guidance you need for real-world projects you are working on.
  • You will be able to recognize products, materials and processes needed to construct your building and infrastructure projects.
  • You will be able to discuss technical issues with your professional and commercial partners clearly and unambiguously.
