| Credentials | Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, PE license (optional) | Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, PE license (optional) |
| Work Environment | Designing HVAC, plumbing, fire protection systems | Designing electrical power, lighting, communication systems |
| Industry Usage | Construction, building services, infrastructure | Building systems, infrastructure, industrial facilities |
Both roles are essential in MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineering, focusing on different systems within building projects. Mechanical engineers handle HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection, while electrical engineers focus on power, lighting, and communication systems. They often collaborate but specialize in distinct technical areas within the same industry.
