The mechanical engineering profession
was first regulated when Public
Act No. 2985 was enacted on February
23, 1921. The law empowered
the Secretary of Commerce and Communications
to appoint board members
for the engineering, accountancy and
surveying professions.
When the Reorganization Law was
enacted in 1932, the Board was placed
under the Department of Public Works
and Communications. By virtue of
Commonwealth Act No. 294 enacted
on June 9, 1938, the Board was named
Board of Mechanical Engineering Examiners
and its various regulatory functions
were explicitly defined.
