Zeroth Law

ZEROTH LAW

States that when the two bodies are in thermal equilibrium with the third body, they are in thermal equilibrium with each other and hence are at the same temperature.

BSME Subjects

In the Philippines, BS Mechanical Engineering is such a great course for Engineering Students. Not all freshmen students of BSME finish this course. It takes a lot of effort, hard work, courage, and perseverance to graduate from a BS Mechanical Engineering Course.

BSME Subjects comprises mainly about Mathematics, Engineering Sciences, Machine Shop Theory and Practice, Machine Design I and II, Power and Industrial Plant Engineering. These are just the main subjects that cover the BS Mechanical Engineering Course.

Under Mathematics are … Physics, Chemistry, are all under the Engineering Sciences. BSME Subjects under Power Plant Design… BSME Subjects … are all under the Industrial Plant Design.

Graduating from College was really a hard labor. Focus is highly significant to obtain the College Diploma everyone is yearning for. Analysis and Problem Solving strategies should be given high importance. Attending seminars, reading books, magazines, and topics related to BSME Subjects could contribute to open the students’ mind to a wide range of Mechanical Engineering Course.

Passing the Mechanical Engineering Board Exam in the Philippines is very challenging and highly competitive. National Passing Percentage of ME Board Exam is about 47% to 52% which is conducted twice a year, every March and September. Before taking the Board Exam, applicants should review all BSME Subjects which is the core content of the examination.
