Mechanical, electrical and process engineering 

The latest mechanical, electrical and process engineering is crucial for people to be comfortable and for companies and organisations to be efficient.
Mechanical, electrical and process engineering are core disciplines within building and civil engineering, industry and the utilities and energy sectors, covering all types of services and structures associated with the control, production and supply of materials and energy to people and equipment.

COWI's consultancy covers mechanical, electrical and process engineering disciplines such as:
