The Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program is a 4-year, 144 credit units program. The emphasis is geared toward producing engineers that has the ability to do research, design, development, testing, control, and manufacture many different equipments or devices. This requirement comes from the fact that mechanical engineering still plays a major role in energy utilization and conservation, in renewable/bio energy, in heating and air conditioning, refrigeration and cryogenics, in the transportation and automotive fields, and in the fields of automation, fluid machinery, production, and processing machinery including petroleum and chemical fields, and consumer goods and appliances.

The master program is a three-semester, 36 credit units program. It provides training for those aiming toward industrial employment as design, research, and development engineers, as well as for those who are continuing toward a PhD. The master program in Mechanical Engineering covers a very wide spectrum that enables students to pursue their field of interests.

As for the doctorate program, just like in any other fields, it is basically conferred in recognition of marked ability and scholarship in the area of mechanical engineering. A part of the work consists of regularly announced graduate courses in mechanical engineering as well as from other related fields as required by the doctoral committee. In addition, the student must pursue independent investigation in some subdivision within mechanical engineering field and must present the result of the investigation in the form of a dissertation. In terms of credit units, it comprises of 52 credit units which may be divided into three major parts, 21 credits for courses, 8 credits for qualifying exam and dissertation proposal preparation, and 23 credits for the research work and dissertation writing.

The Master Program is devided further into 9 (nine) major areas which reflect the teaching and research interest of the MESP faculty, i.e.:
1. Thermo-fluid Engineering
2. Power Engineering
3. Engineering Design
4. Dynamics and Control
5. Predictive Maintenance based on Vibration Signal
6. Manufacturing Processes
7. Automation and Manufacturing System
8. Materials Engineering & Processing
9. Failure Analysis and Engineering Life Assessment

The graduate student may select courses that emphasize the fundamental principles as well as those that illustrate the application to engineering practices. More than 100 courses in total are available, allowing students to tailor their study to fit their needs.
