Welcome to the College of Engineering at the University of Maine!

Engineers Without Borders UMaine Chapter

In March of 2009, EWB traveled to Honduras to present the alternatives for a sanitation system and to do data collection. The data included the needed technical information for the feasibility of a potential system and the design of this system. Another health survey was conducted and showed significant improvement in the communities health over the previous year.

Engineers are changing the world all of the time! Engineers create innovative and practical solutions to some of the world’s biggest challenges and they work with other smart, inspiring people to invent, design and build things that matter and make a difference.

Can you see yourself doing some of these jobs?

  • Protect the planet by developing state-of-the-art water systems
  • Design high-tech cell phones and mp3 players
  • Create cutting-edge animation for video games, TV & Movies
  • Develop life-saving medical technology to detect early  brain tumors
  • Build bomb-proof structures to protect soldiers in war zones
  • Invent a new sensor that can detect pollution in our drinking water
