PSME History

The contributions of the Philippine Society of Mechanical Engineers (PSME) to the continued growth of the mechanical engineering profession and technological advancement in the country have made lasting marks as could be gleaned from the recognition accorded by both the public and private sectors. PSME has indeed succeeded in living up to its role of upgrading and improving the knowledge of mechanical engineers in the country. The PSME’s biggest contributions come from its direct assistance in providing solutions to the problems related to the practice of the profession and by continuously educating the members through the conduct of regular plant tours, seminars, weekly breakfast interactions and the annual technical paper presentations and invention contest, among others. PSME affiliations and participations include: Philippine Federation and Professional Association (PFPA) Philippine Technological Council (PTC) Philippine Invention Development Institute (PIDI) Presidential Panel of Judges Presidential Committees on Science and Technology (PCST) National Metal and Engineering Industry Council (NMEIC) CPE National Accreditation and Evaluation Board (NAEB) World Federation of Engineering Organization (WFEO) Philippine Association of Technological Education (PATE) Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP) Construction Technology Committee (CONTECO) Society of Philippine Accredited Consultants, Inc.
