Summary/Abstract: The article puts forward the challenges of technical translation in ESP classes. Like all translations, technical translation needs to be grammatically correct, stylistically suitable and coherent in the TT. In ESP classes, aspects such as precision and clarity might be relevant to consider while rendering English texts on Electrical and Mechanical Engineering into Romanian. Technical vocabulary is fixed, therefore creativity, synonyms and ambiguities are not permitted. The teacher needs to raise students’ awareness as regards using specialised language in order to prepare them for real life engineering communication
