Mymensingh Engineering College

Engineering College History

The speed of overall development of a country does not expedite without proper development of science and technology and their application in different sectors. The present world is moving towards 21st century with the rapid development of science and technology. In order to face the challenge of 21st Century, it is essential to produce manpower in the field of engineering and technology. There are five University of Engineering and Technology and a few privet institutions in the Country for offering education at Degree and Masters level which is not sufficient. There are 10(ten) engineers per 0.10 million people in India. This number is significantly higher in South Korea, Japan and developed countries. But there is one engineer per 0.10 million people in Bangladesh. Every year after 2010, there will be a requirement of 5000 engineers for Bangladesh to make pace with speed of development.

On the other hand only 1500 students are graduated from the five public University of Engineering and Technology and private University. This number may be increased to 2200 in the year 2007 after Completion of the expansion and to modernization programme of The Universities. A singificant number of prospective students also go abroad to undertake higher education and research degrees spending at lot of foreign currency. In order to meet the present and future job market demand in the country and abroad, in is essential to establish new engineering & technology institutions. It is also essential to expand engineering & technology education to ensure proper use of technology.

After completion of the project 180 Student will be graduated each year in three degree level courses, such as B.Sc in Civil Engineering, B.Sc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and B.Sc. in Computer & Science Engineering from Mymensingh Engineering College. After obtaining graduation in Engineering the graduates will be able to get job in different industries and business organizations in the country and abroad and also they will be able to make themselves capable for self employment.

In past BUET,RUET,KUET & CUET were known as Engineering College which called as BIT. So, Mymensingh Engineering College and other engineering college's will be the next upgraded engineering university in our digital Bangladesh.

History

Mymensingh Engineering College was established under the project of the government of the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh as a part of ministry of education. The project work was started in 2005 and the first advertisement was published in 2008 for admission in the Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) department for 60 students. The first class was started after a long time and little violence in 4 July 2009. The Project Director Mr. Husnul Mahmud Khan and the Guardians of the selected students of the first batch make it possible to start the classes on July while the ministry of education was not agree to start the classes of the first batch. The classes was going under the supervision of the Acting Officer and the former Principal (Acting) Dr. Ratan Kumar Nondi.

Principal Message

It is estimated that currently we require around 5000 engineers per year to keep up with the pace of development. However, every year only 1500 students are graduated in engineering and technology. Moreover out of these students many go abroad for higher studies and jobs. Therefore, in order to meet the present and future job demands it is essential to establish new engineering and technology institutes and expand science and technology education. With this great vision our government has decided to establish Barisal Engineering College. After completion of the project, 180 Student will be graduated each year in three degree level courses, B.Sc in Civil Engineering, B.Sc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and B.Sc. in Computer & Science Engineering from Mymensingh Engineering College. We are trying our best to provide state of the art facilities and well equipped labs so that students can be upto the task of facing the challenges in the global job market. I sincerely hope that, after obtaining graduation from this college the graduates will be able to get job in different industries and business organizations in the country and abroad and also will be able to make themselves capable for higher studies abroad and self-employment. I hope that we will be able to complete the project in due time and that it would turn out to be one of the finest institutes for engineering and technology in the country. I wish our Engineering and Technology to be a grand success.
