The 2010 revision of the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) Curriculum, embraces the basic areas of design, maintenance, testing, research and development, control and operation of machineries. It is composed of two hundred and thirty (230) academic units (excluding 6.0 units NSTP), broken down as:

• Mathematics, 27; Natural/ Physical Sciences 12; Basic Engineering Sciences 32; Allied Courses 10; Fundamental Mechanical Engineering Courses 58; Professional Mechanical

• Engineering Courses 27; Elective Courses 12; Social Sciences 15; Humanities 9; Languages 15; Mandated Course 3; Physical Education 8; National Training Service Program 6; and Included Miscellany Courses 12;

                The undergraduate program offers a solid foundation in science and mathematics and an in-depth understanding of the mechanical engineering technology. Develop the ability to relate to the other disciplines. The latter part prepares the students to professional practice, through the application of previously acquired basic knowledge and proficiencies.

The curriculum revision is dynamically designed to meet both local and global industry needs. The program includes two practicum courses provides a range to put into practice their degree. The curricular requirements for electives are increased to 12 units. These elective courses are utilized to introduce tracking courses in the mechanical engineering program. The curriculum program has established a project study course for two semesters and senior design courses that will address the specific needs of society and to give more room for actual application of the course.

Social Sciences and Humanities courses, on the other hand, serve as catalysts to the development of well-rounded 

1.  Strengthen the Engineering program consistent with global trends;

2.  Develop faculty as competent mentors and quality researchers, through advanced study and other facets of continuing professional education;

3.  Develop critical thinking and communication skills of students, giving emphasis to research and extension services;

4.  Equip graduates with appropriate knowledge and technical skills, imbued with desirable work attitude and moral values through enhanced teaching/learning process by using multi-media facilities on top of traditional methods;

5.   Create a conducive teaching and learning atmosphere with emphasis to faculty and students’ growth and academic freedom;

6.   Establish network with educational institution industry, GO’s and NGO’s, local and international which could serve as:

a. funding sources and/or partners of researches;

b. sources of new techniques

c. centers for faculty and student exchange program and On the Job Training, and;

d. grantees of scholarship/additional facilities, and;

7. Continuously conduct action researches on the needs of laboratory and other facilities that could be locally produce or innovated using local materials and adapted technology.
