Value among peer schools
Compared with 187 schools that report this field.
This page treats cost and earnings as school-wide context, not department-level outcomes. The reported share is below the national average concentration; the school-wide net price is higher than the peer average ($5,070 above), and ten-year median earnings are higher than the peer average ($1,504 above). That combination produces a C value grade and a top 83% ROI position within this field set.

How big is the program signal?
Mechanical Engineering Related Technologies/Technicians accounts for 1.5% of reported programs at University of Maine, which is bigger than 63% of schools in this field set and below the national average concentration. The enrollment proxy is about 126 students when that share is applied to current enrollment.
How should I read the cost number?
University of Maine's average net price is $17,510 per year, about $70,040 over four years. That is $5,070 above the $12,440 peer average, before your own aid package changes the final bill.
Are the earnings major-specific?
No. The $48,653 median earnings figure is school-wide ten years after entry. It is $1,504 above the $47,149 average among schools reporting this field, so treat it as an outcomes proxy rather than a department guarantee.
What should I compare next?
Start with program share, net price after aid, graduation rate, location, and whether the department publishes placement or licensure outcomes. EduGradify ranks University of Maine #156 of 187 schools in this field set by school-wide ROI proxy.
