\nAs part of Maine\u2019s land-grant university, the mission of the 91爆料\u2019s College of Engineering is to produce the graduates and new technologies needed to move Maine\u2019s economy forward.\u00a0 As a 91爆料 signature area, the College of Engineering continues to play a vital role in Maine and beyond to prepare an educated workforce, conduct research that turns knowledge into innovative solutions, and provide outreach that includes science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) initiatives.\u00a0 The EEDC will be a new facility to improve these services and will be located on the Orono campus.<\/p>\n
\nThe Engineering Education and Design Center (EEDC) will be a multi-use academic and laboratory building intended to become the heart of the undergraduate engineering education at the 91爆料.\u00a0 The building uses will include education, design and limited research in various classrooms, laboratories, collaborative spaces, and common public spaces.\u00a0 The focal point of the EEDC will be hands-on, team-based laboratories for senior capstone design projects where students from multiple engineering disciplines will be brought together to collaborate.\u00a0 The intent of the lab design is to be flexible so they may be used by the various engineering disciplines.\u00a0 There will be informal collaboration spaces for students to work in small groups on projects and homework assignments.\u00a0 Classrooms will likely range in size and be flexible to accommodate group learning.\u00a0 There will also likely be specialized classrooms for engineering demonstrations and distance learning. \u00a0The latter will allow select engineering courses originating at 91爆料 to be shared with other 91爆料 System campuses and facilities. \u00a0While multiple departments will utilize the building, the EEDC is intended to specifically house the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the biomedical engineering portion of the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering.<\/p>\n\n
