Mymensingh Engineering College

Mymensingh Engineering College ( bn, ময়মনসিংহ ইঞ্জিনিয়ারিং কলেজ), commonly referred to as MEC, is a fully public undergraduate engineering college in Mymensingh Division, Bangladesh, and was established in 2007. Mymensingh Engineering College is an elite institution for graduating in engineering disciplines in Bangladesh and is affiliated with the University of Dhaka. It offers students the latest fields of engineering education in Bangladesh. Every year, around 180 students get accepted to undergraduate programs in Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE), Civil Engineering (CE) and Computer Science Engineering (CSE).

History

In January 2004, then Finance Minister M. Saifur Rahman approved the creation of Mymensingh Engineering College and Sylhet Engineering College. On 9 May 2006, a budget of ৳56 crore was proposed for Mymensingh Engineering College project in the meeting of the Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC). The two Engineering College project works continued from July 2004 to June 2007. After this time it was handed over to the Ministry of Education. During the revised Budget fixation for Sylhet Engineering College, the Minister hinted about a plan to merge these two colleges into an engineering university.
The college was inaugurated by Former Minister Motiur Rahman on 4 July 2009.
After that, a project of ৳27cr was taken in hand for development of Mymensingh Engineering College.
The project was fully completed in 2011.

The administration admitted 60 students (by admission test) into Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department on 4 July 2009. In Session 2008–2009, EEE department was introduced as the 1st batch of Mymensingh Engineering College. In the 2014-15 Session, the CE department was introduced. Now three departments are running in a full swing.

There is a hope that in future it will be upgraded into full-fledged Public Engineering University called Mymensingh University of Engineering & Technology (MUET).

Scholarship Opportunities

In every semester government would give stipend on the basis of CGPA (Top 50% in per batch or department).

MEC Alumni

Already around 600 engineers have completed their graduation from MEC and now they are employed in different sectors of Bangladesh like BREB,DPDC, PGCB, NESCO, DMTCL, RPCL, BSTI, Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, Bank, Walton etc. Recently few alumni got recommendation as a BCS cadre from BPSC. They also appointed as a Lecturer/Assistant Professor at reputational Public and Private University in Bangladesh. Besides,many students are now pursuing higher education in abroad by getting world's one of the most prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. As a new Engineering College, they got the opportunity to study in world's famous engineering university as like the University of Texas, Boston University, McGill University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Concordia University,University of Calgary, Korea Institute of Science & Technology (KIST), Tampere University, University of York, Aix-Marseille University, University of Eastern Finland, Jean Monnet University, University of Siegen,Shanghai University of Technology, Moscow Power Engineering Institute, University of Applied Science Upper Austria , with full scholarships. Not only these universities but also other university too. Moreover, many students are now pursuing their master’s degree at BUET, KUET,RUET, CUET, DUET, DU, MIST, JU, JNU, BUP, BSMRAAU in Bangladesh.
