Program Highlights
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 our mechanical engineering courses that require an open-ended design component is greater than that of many similar programs.
Program requirements
Our program offers engineering courses that cover engineering tools, engineering economics, junior and senior design projects, and a circuits laboratory. Mechanical engineering courses cover materials sciences, applied mechanics, thermodynamics, and machines and mechanisms. Multiple types of labs are included.
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.
Career opportunities
Our graduates are prepared to excel as engineers in technologically intensive environments, succeed in graduate studies, and transfer their skills to a variety of contexts and endeavors.
Licensure
Upon graduation, you’ll be eligible for licensure as a professional engineer in Maine. While reciprocity conditions vary, many other states accept the Maine license.
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.
Accreditation
Our program is accredited by the EAC (Engineering Accreditation Commission) of ABET (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).
