The Mechanical Engineering Society, also known as MES, is a professional organization for Mechanical Engineering students. It aims to aid the academic needs of its members and at the same time become the official venue for the members to show and improve their talents and potential. The Mechanical Engineering Society was established on 1977. Together with seven key terminal year mechanical engineering students in 1977 (back then, trimesters didn’t exist), Mike Cardenas established the MES to replace the old Meng Society.
MES’ vision is to become a LEADER among the various professional organizations in the university, among the different societies of mechanical engineering students in the Philippines, and among the ASME International and ASHRAE student sections in the Asia sub-region in the delivery of excellent service to its members and to the community.
MES’ mission is to promote and enhance the total development – intellectual, spiritual, moral, social, emotional, and physical – of all its members through its quality programs and activities. MES will be the breeding ground of Lasallian women and men aspiring to be world-class, technically competent, and socially responsible mechanical engineers.
