Maine College of Engineering and Computing

Maine College of Engineering and Computing students have the opportunity to do meaningful research alongside faculty in such areas as renewable energy, biofuels, robotics and biomedicine. Senior capstone projects provide students with key competition and team-building experiences, and professors —not graduate students — teach classes. An annual engineering job fair is held on campus, where top companies come to hire UMaine engineers. Nationwide, nearly 250,000 new engineering jobs are projected to be created in the next 10 years, and top companies, including General Dynamics, Fairchild Semiconductor, Procter & Gamble and NASA, compete for UMaine engineering talent. According to Forbes, engineers earn the highest average starting annual income of professionals in any field — $62,000.

Undeclared Engineering Program If you think you want to be an engineer, but are not sure which field….no problem. In the Undeclared Engineering program, you will start off with a series of courses that will count no matter which engineering program you ultimately choose. In addition, you will take a course in the first semester that, along with introducing you to college life, will give you an overview of all of the engineering and engineering technology programs we offer. As long as you are able to decide by the end of the first year, you will be able to progress towards the degree of your choice at a normal pace.
