"In the emerging economy of the new century, the team with the most engineers wins." - Neil Freeman, Director of the Maine Heritage Policy Center |
The College of Engineering at the University of Maine serves the citizens of the State of Maine, the nation and the world by creating outstanding graduates through its comprehensive degree programs and its leading edge research and development activities. Our goal is to produce a continuous stream of individuals who can create technological products and processes to make the world a better place to live.
Faculty members actively engaged at the frontiers of science and engineering provide personal instruction to students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. We offer serious men and women students the opportunity to enrich their lives and develop a foundation of knowledge upon which to build a professional career and garner broad community respect. Engineering students gain an appreciation for and familiarity with processes for analyzing complex issues preparing them to become highly productive citizens and leaders.
In a world of increasing social, environmental and technological complexity, engineers are in ever increasing demand. However, you don't need to know all about engineering to enroll in the college. You can start your first year by acquiring a solid foundation in math, science and electives applicable to any engineering specialty and then decide on a specific major after you have had an opportunity to explore all the options. The University of Maine offers as many or more engineering undergraduate major specialties than any other program in New England.
