Overview

This program combines two essential courses to provide a complete introduction to Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems and blueprint interpretation. This package is designed for students and professionals who want to understand how building systems function and how those systems are documented in construction drawings. You will study HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and AV-Tel-Data systems, including thermal comfort, indoor air quality, emergency power, and system coordination.

You’ll also gain practical skills in reading and interpreting MEP blueprints, including mechanical plans, electrical layouts, and plumbing schematics used in real-world construction and design projects. This package builds both conceptual understanding and applied blueprint reading skills, making it ideal for construction professionals, BIM users, designers, engineers, and career changers seeking a strong MEP foundation.
