    Overview

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Students may elect to join the First Year Cruise following successful completion of their first year, provided they meet academic and practical rerequisites.
    • 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.
    • Graduates gain employment in power generation and related industries throughout the eastern United States.
    • Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology ("TAC of ABET").
    • Our Loeb-Sullivan School of International Business & Logistics offers a special 4 + 1 option for obtaining a Master of Science degree for MMA graduates. Regardless of major, MMA B.Sc. degree recipients may apply to the Loeb-Sullivan graduate school for a one-year fast track to an advanced degree.
