Student Groups & Teams
There are many student organizations for UMaine Engineering students. Being part of a student chapter, team, or group provides students with hands-on experience in dealing with engineering problems and working collaboratively in teams.
Want to know more about how to start or organize a student group? The University of Maine Student Government Inc. website has more information on student group funding, by laws and more.
If you cannot find the team or group you are looking for, or need information corrected about your group, contact Chris Karlen in the Dean’s Office for help.
Plan early & Good Luck!
Funding: Student groups and teams looking for funding for competitions, events, or other reasons should first contact their home department and search for other forms of support before requesting funding from the College of Engineering dean’s office.
