Key Responsibilities of Engineers - Electrical/Mechanical Design Works:
1. Design and Development:
Electrical Design :
Circuit Design : Create electrical circuits and systems for power distribution, lighting, communication, and control systems.
Load Calculation : Perform load analysis for electrical systems to ensure efficient power distribution and minimize energy waste.
Control Systems : Design and implement electrical control systems for automation, machinery, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), and other systems.
Power Distribution : Plan and design power distribution systems, including transformers, switchgear, and protective relays.
Energy Efficiency : Design energy-efficient electrical systems and implement renewable energy solutions where applicable (e.g., solar, wind).
Mechanical Design :
Mechanical Systems Design : Design mechanical systems such as HVAC, plumbing, pumps, valves, compressors, and conveyors, ensuring they work efficiently and meet project requirements.
Thermodynamics : Analyze heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamic systems for mechanical engineering designs.
CAD Modelling : Use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA) to create detailed mechanical system layouts, schematics, and 3D models.
Structural Integrity : Ensure that mechanical designs meet structural integrity standards, accounting for factors like load-bearing, material strength, and safety.
