Curriculum

The Power Engineering Technology major is based on the body of knowledge inherent in Marine Engineering Operations, but is oriented toward the shore-side power industry rather than marine power plants. It also includes additional studies in writing and communications, mathematics, and technical sciences. Students are required to participate in approved industrial co-op programs in shore-side power plants. They may elect to join the First Year Cruise following successful completion of their first year.

Successful completion of this major leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. Graduates are eligible to sit for the state of Maine Third Class Engineer (stationary plant engineer) license; and, may also sit for the Fundamentals of Engineering examination to become certified as an Engineering Intern, which is the first step in becoming a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.). Graduates are employed in power generation and related industries throughout the United States and the world.
