On May 3, 2016, the University of Maine unveiled the new Kepware Digital Systems and Robotics Laboratory at Barrows Hall. The lab provides engineering students hardware and software development tools for hands-on experience: Kepware Lab

Ambitious Electrical or Computer Engineering students now have the option of obtaining a non-thesis MS degree with one additional year of study.  Exceptional students must be admitted to the program during their Junior year, and may apply up to 9 credits of graduate course work in their senior year toward their MS degree: ECE 4+1 BS/MS Programs.

If you can see it, touch it, hold it, or imagine it, you can bet there’s a computer engineering out there someplace trying to figure out how to make it more useful. Check out this recent article in the Portland Press Harald, highlighting an invention by three Maine brothers: Eric, Aron, and Evan Semle.  Aron […]

During the Summer of 2016 the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology (LASST) at the University of Maine will offer the opportunity for a limited number of highly qualified undergraduate students to participate in research under the guidance of various faculty in the area of sensor science and […]

Welcome to the ECE Class of 2019!  Driven by a dramatic increase in Computer Engineering majors, the ECE incoming class increased by 17% over last year. (Overall, the University of Maine decreases slightly – about 2%.)  ECE enrollment continues a long-term gradual growth.  The department currently supports just over 200 undergraduates – the highest enrollment […]

The University of Maine was recognized as one of the best colleges or universities for employers who want to hire high-quality engineering graduates. UMaine ranked fifth on College Recruiter’s list of the “Top 12 Hidden Gem Colleges for Employers Hiring Electrical and Communications Engineering Majors.” For more details, visit the full College Recruiter release.

Electrical Engineering majors at the University of Maine now have the option of declaring a “Concentration in Power Engineering”. Completing the concentration requires augmenting their base Electrical Engineering courses with additional courses with power engineering emphasis. These courses may include selected courses offered by the Electrical Engineering Technology program (which has particular strength in the […]
