Department of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering fields. The same thing happened when MMSU Industrial Technology offered the BS Mechanical Engineering (BSME) program as one of the first three engineering courses offered way back in 1982 before the College of Engineering was established in 1986. 

The department was created to address the growing demand for skilled mechanical engineers, focusing on various essential areas such as mechanical design, energy conversion, fuel and combustion technologies, heat transfer, materials, manufacturing processes, automatic control, product safety and reliability, renewable energy, and the technological impacts on society.

Originally, the BSME program offers a 5-year course with 217 units on its old curriculum. This is reduced to a new curriculum 4-year engineering program prepared for the K to 12 curricula totaling 187 units. The said new curriculum offers two-track with CHED contents notation on CAD-CAM; and on Energy Management, Conservation and Audit Measures.

From its inception, the department has been committed to providing high-quality education and training. Initially offering a basic curriculum, it has continually evolved to incorporate advanced technologies and methodologies to keep pace with the rapid advancements in the field of mechanical engineering.

Over the years, the department has expanded its facilities, including state-of-the-art laboratories and workshops, to provide hands-on learning experiences. This commitment to practical education ensures that graduates are well-equipped to meet industry standards and challenges.

The department boasts a team of highly qualified and dedicated faculty members who are experts in various specializations within mechanical engineering. Their dedication to research and development has resulted in numerous publications and contributions to the engineering community.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at MMSU has also forged strong partnerships with industry leaders and professional organizations. These collaborations provide students with opportunities for internships, industry exposure, and employment prospects upon graduation.

Today, the department continues to uphold its tradition of excellence, producing competent and innovative mechanical engineers who contribute significantly to the engineering profession and society. The future holds promising prospects as the department strives to remain at the forefront of mechanical engineering education and research.

Description of Program

     The BSME program aims to produce graduates that can plan, design, manage, operate, and maintain mechanical systems, machinery/equipment, mechanical plants/processes, and projects; and to provide quality Mechanical Engineering education that will allow the full development of the students to prepare them in their professional life as globally competitive engineers who are cognizant of their duties.

     Originally, the BSME program offers a 5-year course with 217 units on its old curriculum. This is reduced to a new curriculum 4-year engineering program prepared for the K to 12 curricula totaling 187 units. The said new curriculum offers two-track with CHED contents notation on CAD-CAM; and on Energy Management, Conservation and Audit Measures.

     Graduates of this course will become Managers and supervisors, Safety Engineers & Inspectors, Quality Control/Assurance Engineers, Mechanical Designers, MEPF Engineers, R & D Engineers, Consultants, Academians, Sales Engineers, HVAC Engineers, Production Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Instrumentation Engineers, Mechanical Plant Supervisors, successful businessman/entrepreneur related to Mechanical Engineering, and others that may be employed onshore or offshore, either on land, air, or onboard watercraft.

Awards and Recognition

• 2013 MMSU Presidential Award (PRAISE) on high ME board exam passing percentage
• 2017 MMSU Presidential Award (PRAISE) on an above national passing percentage of ME Board Exam for five straight years

Program Objectives

      The program is expected to:

1. To produce graduates that could practice leadership and occupy management positions in mechanical works and projects maintaining high professional and ethical standards, three to five years after graduation.
2. To produce graduates specializing in an energy audit of mechanical works and facilities, and specializing in manufacturing industries.
3. To produce graduates that are involved in active mechanical engineering organizations, in government and private institutions, and as well as in community-based organizations with the purpose of continuous personal and professional development to become an effective and responsible leader of their companies or of their own business enterprise related to the mechanical engineering field.
