BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS

I. Program Description

I.1. Degree Name: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

I.2. Nature of the Field of Study

Mechanical engineering is a broad discipline covering a wide variety of potential
specializations.
The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering is a 4-year program that
concerns itself with mechanical design, energy conversion, fuel and combustion
technologies, heat transfer, materials, noise control and acoustics, manufacturing
processes, rail transportation, automatic control, product safety and reliability, solar
energy, refrigeration systems, heating, ventilating and airconditioning, and technological
impacts to society.
Graduates of the program are expected to practice the profession in the following
areas that includes professional services such as consultation requiring mechanical
engineering knowledge, skill and proficiency; investigation; estimation and or valuation;
planning, preparation of feasibility studies; designing; preparation of specifications;
supervision of installation; operation including quality management; research, and among
others, teaching of mechanical engineering courses in a government recognized and
accredited engineering schools.

II. Program Outcomes

A graduate of the BSME program should be able to:
a. apply knowledge of mathematics and science to solve complex mechanical
engineering problems;
b. design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;
c. design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
constraints such as economic, environmental, health and safety, manufacturability and
sustainability, in accordance with mechanical engineering standards;
d. function in multidisciplinary and multi-cultural teams;
e. identify, formulate, and solve complex mechanical engineering problems;
f. understand professional and ethical responsibility in the field of mechanical
engineering;
g. communicate effectively orally and in writing;
h. understand the impact of mechanical engineering solutions in a global, economic,
environmental, and societal context;
i. recognize the need for, and engage in life-long learning;
j. know contemporary issues in mechanical engineering;
k. use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for mechanical
engineering practice;
l. know and understand mechanical engineering and management principles as a
member and leader of a team, and to manage projects in a multidisciplinary
environment;
m. participate in the generation of new knowledge or in research and national, regional,
and local development projects related to mechanical engineering; and
n. preserve and promote “Filipino historical and cultural heritage”

III. Curriculum Description

The legal basis for the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering program is
the CMO No. 97 Series of 2017.
The BSME curriculum has a total of 188 credit units. It is comprised of 138 units of
technical courses and 50 units of non-technical courses. The Technical Courses consists

Page 1 of 14
 of 12 units Mathematics, 8 units Natural and Physical Sciences, 20 units Basic
Engineering Sciences, 9 units Allied Courses, and 50 units Fundamental Mechanical
Engineering Courses, 33 units Professional Mechanical Engineering Courses, and 6 units
ME Elective courses.
The BSME curriculum includes a total of 280 hours of On-the-Job Training and
Plant Visits to emphasize hands-on application and implementation of the theories and
principles learned. Moreover, board examination training sessions are included as
institutional requirement to prepare graduates before they take the board exam.
Bridging courses are intended for the non-STEM track senior high school
graduates and the high school graduates of the old basic education curriculum who desire
to enrol in the program. The bridging courses are General Chemistry, Mathematics, and
College Physics. The student must have finished these courses before he can enrol in
Calculus 1, Chemistry for Engineers, and Physics for Engineers.
