USM-KCC
The University of Southern Mindanao- Kidapawan City Campus (USM-KCC) is known to be the former North Cotabato College of Arts and Trades (NCCAT). Prior to NCCAT it was named Kidapawan Trade School (KTS) established in 1962 with the passage of Republict Act No. 3329, otherwise known as the “Higher Modernization Act of 1997” and pursuant to the Special Provision No. 2 of CHED FY 1999 Budget under the General Appropriation Act of 1999 or RA 8745 on the Integration of CHED-Supervised Instituitons (CSIs) to State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), the commission on Higher Education issues guidelines to effect integration of CSIs to the SUCs for immediate implementation. As per CHED Memorandum Order no. 18, series of 1999, North Cotabato College of Arts and Trades was integrate to the University of Southern Mindanao as the host SUC. On June 31, 2000 dated the formal turn-over of NCCAT to USM by CHEDRO XII Regional Director to the University President.
This external campus of USM is headed by the Campus Dean by virtue of BOR Resolution no. 30 s. 1999. The first USM-KCC Campus dean was Dr. Palasig U. Ampang, followed by Dr. Rogelio S. Tabora, Dr. Rufino S. Garzon, Dr. Rene U. Handoc, Dr. Herminigildo M. Gutierrez, Prof. Alfredo E. Naparan as OIC dean, Dr. Luz A. Taposok, then a short period for Prof.Alfredo E. Naparan as dean. At present, the campus has now the fiscal autonomy from University of Southern Mindanao, Kabacan, Cotabato and headed by Chancellor Dr. Ronielyn F Pinsoy.

The Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering program is intended to prepare students for a professional Industrial Engineering career including a leading role in the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. Graduates of the program must have specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict, and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.
Program Objectives:
The program outcomes for BS in Industrial Engineering are given in the following minimum set. Graduates of the program must have:
- Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics and science to solve complex industrial engineering problems.
- Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data
- Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs with realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability, in accordance with standards
- Ability to function on multidisciplinary and multicultural teams
- Ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex industrial engineering problems
- Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
- Ability to communicate effectively
Mechanical Engineering is a profession that concerns itself with mechanical design, energy conversion, fuel and combustion technologies, heat transfer, materials, noise control and acoustics, manufacturing processes, rail transportation, automatic control, product safety and reliability, solar energy, and technological impacts to the society. Mechanical engineers study the behaviour of materials when forces are applied to them, such as the motion of solids, liquids, gases, and heating and cooling of object and machines. Using these basic building blocks, mechanical engineers design space vehicles, computers, power plants, intelligent machines and robots, automobile, trains, airplanes, furnaces, and air-conditioners. Mechanical engineers work on jet engine design, submarines, hot air balloons, textile and new materials, medical and hospital equipment, and refrigerator and other home appliances. Anything that is mechanical or must interact with another machine or human being is within the broad scope of mechanical engineering.
