Integrate for Excellence is not just a tagline. It captures a significant part of our mission.
The work of mechanical, electrical, and ICA engineers is intertwined. The simplest example is when we look at mechanical equipment in any design- it needs power to operate and instrumentation to monitor and control. These three engineering disciplines are indeed inseparable. But more importantly, they need to work as one.
Thus, the strive for integration. Mechanical, Electrical, and ICA engineers should always work together to deliver successful projects. Close coordination is only a step. The integration we aim for is much more. Let’s break it down.
I’m a mechanical engineer. Part of my job is to specify and select mechanical equipment, pumps for example. When I pass the power requirement to the electrical engineer and the operational philosophy to the ICA engineer, that’s part of the coordination required by default. Integration is a whole different level. One aspect is developing my understanding of the electrical and ICA engineers’ design objectives, and their disciplines’ design principles. Another aspect is fellowship, e.g., understanding that we succeed and fail as one. A third aspect is to keep learning about advancements in their fields, not only mine. Another aspect is the continuous dialogue, feedback, brainstorming, and networking to reinforce all these concepts.
We want the three disciplines to think and act as one, and that’s an important step toward achieving excellence in projects and the industry.
I think it’s clear where this is going. One post won’t be enough to capture what Integrate for Excellence! fully means But I hope I made the idea a bit clearer: Integration for Excellence is a unified approach we aim to live, practice, and celebrate.
