ETHICS

Mechanical Engineering is one of the most diverse and versatile fields of engineering.

Mechanical Engineering covers almost every aspect of modern life that even includes the most sophisticated complex machine – the human body.

The scope of the practice of Mechanical Engineering is defined in the Mechanical Engineering Law of 1996 or RA 8499 and pertains to professional services to industrial plants in terms of: consultation requiring a mechanical engineering knowledge; skill and proficiency; investigation; estimation and or evaluation; planning, preparation of feasibility studies; designing; preparation of specifications; supervision of installation; operation including quality management; research and among others.
