Abstract
Utilizing the descriptive-evaluative method of research, a set of questionnaires was distributed to the respective respondents. The data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, mean, standard deviation and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the status of mechanical engineering program in SUCs in Region VIII, as perceived by the respondents. With an over-all rating of “satisfactory,” all provisions or conditions considered there were no significant differences in the perceptions of the administrators, faculty members, and students on the status of the Mechanical Engineering Program. Thus, an improvement plan should be made to address the problems encountered by SUCs in Region VIII.
