Maine College of Engineering and Computing Enhanced Visit
An enhanced visit to the Maine College of Engineering and Computing is a great opportunity to learn more and view the Engineering facilities. See our Advanced Structures and Composite Center (ASCC), which is home to our Alfond W2 Ocean Engineering Lab and the world’s largest 3D Printer.
The ASCC is a secure facility and because of this there are strict security protocols to follow. Registration is required 1 week prior to the tour date.
