What is the basic technical knowledge a mechanical engineer must know?
Are there any codes or regulations that a mechanical engineer should be familiar with?
Mechanical engineers should be familiar with codes and regulations specific to their area of expertise. Examples include ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers) Standards, and NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Codes. These codes and regulations ensure that mechanical engineers are designing structures and systems that are both safe and efficient.
