History

In January, 2004, the then Finance Minister M. Saifur Rahman approved the Mymensingh and Sylhet Engineering College project and on 9 May 2006 a budget of 56 crore was proposed for Mymensingh Engineering College project in the meeting of Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC).[1] The two Engineering College project works continued from July, 2004 till June, 2007, which was handed over to the Educational Ministry right after. Also, within this process in 2005 on a meeting of Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) during the revised Budget fixation for Sylhet Engineering College, the Minister also gave a hint about a plan to make these two Engineering College into Engineering University in near future. Mymensingh Engineering College started its journey with 60 students admitting in Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department on 4 July 2009. After that, a project of 27 crore was taken in hand for development of Mymensingh Engineering College. At last, project works for Mymensingh Engineering College were fully completed in 2011.[2] Also, another two departments i.e. Civil Engineering Department and Computer Science and Engineering Department are academically started from 2015 & 2018 respectively and now all the 3 departments are running their educational activities in full swing. Already 7 batches from Electrical and Electronic Department and one batch from Civil Engineering Department have graduated from this Engineering College.
