Credits required for Graduation: 126 - 128
Additional requirements for graduation:
a. Complete all requirements for and pass the State of Maine Fourth Class Stationary Engineer License Exam. (Note that the eligibility for this license is still under review by the Maine State Boiler Board, but is expected to be finalized before the first students enroll in 2008.)
- The Power Engineering Operations program is concerned primarily with the operation and maintenance of industrial steam and gas turbine power plants and with related electrical systems.
- Classroom studies are closely coordinated with practical experience in laboratories.
- Successful completion of the program leads to the Bachelor of Science degree and, after passing a State of Maine examination, a 4th-Class Stationary Engineer's license.
- In addition to meeting the college requirement for graduation with at least a 2.0 grade point average for the B.S. degree, graduating students are required to have a minimum grade point average of 2.25 in the PEO program core courses. For the PEO program, core courses are defined as courses with the prefixes Co, Eg, Et, Ms, and Ps.
- Students majoring in this program may enroll in any of the minor programs offered at the college.
- Note that this program will accept its first students in the Fall 2008 Semester and the first graduates will complete the program no earlier than 2012.
- 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 prerequisites.
- Successful completion of this major leads to the Bachelor of Science degree.
- Graduates gain employment in power generation and energy production related industries throughout the United States.
- 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.
- Participation in the Regiment of Midshipmen is optional.
