Department of Mechanical Engineering

Department of Mining, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Mining engineering includes all the aspects of the extraction of mineral products and energy sources from the earth's crust. The mining engineer is concerned not only with excavation and working of deposits but also with economic analysis, optimization of operations, and environmental and human aspects of exploration.

Metallurgy is the science and art of extracting, refining, and adapting metals from minerals and metal-bearing materials, at a profit, for human use.

Materials are traditionally classified as metals, polymers, and ceramics. This field of engineering specializes on determining the relationship between the structure and the properties of these materials.

The department traces its roots to the time it first offered the B.S. Mining Engineering program, one of the earliest Bachelor of Science degree courses offered by the UP College of Engineering. In 1956 a Metallurgical Engineering undergraduate course was added to what was then the Department of Mining Engineering.

Since then the Department has offered three undergraduate programs: B.S. Mining Engineering, B.S. Metallurgical Engineering, and since first semester of AY 1999-2000, B.S. Materials Engineering. It also offers the following graduate programs, M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering, and both M.S. and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering (jointly offered with the UP College of Science). The medium of instruction for all major courses is in English.

The current MMME teaching roster is composed of 12 full-time and 4 part-time faculty (2 lecturers, 1 Adjunct Professor and 1 Professor Emeritus). Among the full-time faculty, 3 of the 12 are Ph.D. holders, 4 have M.S. degrees and the rest are working to complete their M.S. studies. The laboratories are maintained with the help of three laboratory technicians.

The MMME Department offers the following services to private industry, among others: consultancy services, special in-house training in materials science and special topics in metallurgical engineering, assorted testing services involving materials characterization and analysis, pilot plant testing in mineral processing, failure analysis, and mining designs.

The UP MMME Department is a CHED Center of Excellence in Metallurgical Engineering and Center of Development (Category 1) in Mining Engineering.

National Engineering Center

The National Engineering Center (NEC) is a related yet independent unit of the College of Engineering. The NEC is under the jurisdiction of the University of the Philippines System and provides research, consultancy, and continuing education services in the engineering and related fields. Whilst the UP COE is a unit purely dedicated to academic pursuit, the NEC serves industry and government institutions in need of engineering solutions.

The NEC is housed within the Alfredo Juinio

Centers

Five centers formerly within the College of Engineering are now in the jurisdiction of the NEC. However, some of these units still classify themselves as falling under the "COE-NEC" umbrella. This should not come as a surprise, as many NEC employees are also UP COE professors and instructors.

' National Engineering Library and Information Center in the future.

As of 2006, the Library is located in Melchor Hall along Osmeña Avenue, and is divided into two floors. The relatively cramped space of the Library will be alleviated once part of it transfers to the new Engineering Library and Computer Science (ELCS) Building, where it is slated to occupy the entire lower two floor levels.

The COE Library is an integral part of the University Library's Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). The Library is also part of the Philippine eLib (Electronic Library) Project.

The Engineering Logscript

The official student publication of the college, The Engineering Logscript (or simply "Logscript") is the oldest college-based student publication in UP Diliman, having been established in the 1969-1970 academic year. This makes the Logscript older than the UP College of Mass Communication's Plaridel.

Funding for the publication comes from the shared Logscript/Engineering Student Council (ESC) fee paid by students every semester. Unlike other college-based student publications in the university, the Logscript does not have an assigned formal office.

Though the publication's logo and/or masthead varies with every change of the editorial board, the College of Engineering Sundial (or a semblance of it) is always incorporated into the design. The Sundial

Sundial

A sundial is a device that measures time by the position of the Sun. In common designs such as the horizontal sundial, the sun casts a shadow from its style onto a surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, often a thin rod or a...

 is a university landmark erected by the UP Alumni Engineers.

The Sundial

The Sundial is the official newsletter of the UP Alumni Engineers. Carrying the motto "The time of day it reckons, UP Engineers it beckons", the Sundial's first issue came out on October 25, 2004. Like the Logscript, the Sundial has the university landmark of the same name as its emblem.

. Founded in 1999, Parser (as it is commonly known) is the oldest department-based publication in the College of Engineering. After a few years of inactivity, Parser was revived in 2004, appearing in four different versions: the print circulation, a website, an email newsletter, and a bulletin board version. In the academic year 2005-2006, Parser reached a milestone by releasing two full-color, tabloid-sized editions, a feat rare for department-based publications.

The newspaper takes its name from the parser of computer science. Its motto is "Analyzing life the CS way".
