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).{{cite news |title=Saifur says good projects normally taken before elections |url=https://bdnews24.com/business/2006/05/09/saifur-says-good-projects-normally-taken-before-elections|access-date=2006-05-09 |work=bdnews24.com|date=9 May 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404113229/https://bdnews24.com/business/2006/05/09/saifur-says-good-projects-normally-taken-before-elections |archive-date=4 April 2023 }} 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.{{cite web |url=http://www.eedmoe.gov.bd/ |script-title=bn:শিক্ষা প্রকৌশল অধিদপ্তর |language=bn|access-date=21 February 2020}}
The college was inaugurated by Former Minister Motiur Rahman on 4 July 2009.
After that, a project of ৳27{{nbsp}}cr 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 the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department on 4 July 2009. In the 2008–2009 session, EEE department was introduced as the 1st batch of Mymensingh Engineering College. In the 2014-15 session, the CE department was introduced.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thedailystar.net/country/no-permanent-teachers-staff-eight-years-1316356|title=No permanent teachers, staff in eight years|date=18 November 2016|website=The Daily Star|access-date=21 February 2024}}
There is a hope that in future it will be upgraded into a full-fledged public engineering university called Mymensingh University of Engineering and Technology (MUET).{{cite news |title=ময়মনসিংহে মেডিকেল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় ও ইঞ্জিনিয়ারিং বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় হবে : প্রধানমন্ত্রী |url=https://www.jaijaidinbd.com/wholecountry/339353|access-date=18 March 2025 |work=Jaijaidin |date=11 March 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250318164316/https://www.jaijaidinbd.com/wholecountry/339353 |archive-date=18 March 2025 |language=bn|trans-title=Mymensingh will have a medical university and an engineering university: Prime Minister}}{{cite news |last1=Raihan |first1=Arman Habib |title='ময়মনসিংহ মেডিকেল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় ও স্বতন্ত্র প্রকৌশল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় করে দেয়া হবে' |url=https://jamuna.tv/news/439404|access-date=18 March 2025 |work=Jamuna Television |date=11 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230312101710/https://jamuna.tv/news/439404 |archive-date=12 March 2023 |language=bn|trans-title='Mymensingh Medical University and Independent Engineering University will be made'}}
