Program highlights
Expected career outcomes
Career opportunities
Our graduates are prepared to excel as engineers, succeed in post-baccalaureate and graduate studies, and transfer their acquired skills to a variety of contexts and endeavors.
Learning spaces
Our state-of-the-art learning facilities are new or recently renovated to offer you a dynamic place to learn, share, and build community.
Licensure
Upon graduation, you’ll be eligible for licensure as a professional engineer within Maine. Many states accept the Maine license, but reciprocity conditions vary.
Hands-on-learning
We encourage experiential learning by helping our students secure internships at leading engineering firms in Southern Maine. In addition, the percentage of courses in our program that require an open-ended design component is greater than that of many similar programs.
Program requirements
Our program offers engineering courses that introduce students to engineering tools, the engineering profession, engineering economics, and includes design projects and a circuits laboratory. Electrical and computer engineering courses cover circuit simulation, digital logic, electronics, and digital signals.
Dedicated, engaged faculty
Our faculty are an excellent resource for our students. Learn from engineering faculty in small class settings and interact with our engineer-in-residence who spends one afternoon each week engaged in various department activities.
Scholarship opportunities
Scholarships offer valuable financial aid that doesn’t need to be repaid. You’ll be automatically considered for Merit Scholarships when you apply for admission by the deadline. Additional opportunities are available.
