The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Mons (French: Faculté Polytechnique de Mons, pronounced [fakylte pɔlitɛknik də mɔ̃s]) is a faculty of engineering at the University of Mons in the Wallonia region in Belgium.[1]

Before the 2009 merger of the Faculté Polytechnique de Mons and the University of Mons-Hainaut, the FPMs was the oldest university of the city of Mons and the first civil Engineering school in Belgium (1836). Its first name was École des Mines (Mining School). It is a member of the Top Industrial Managers for Europe (TIME) network, an association of 50 leading engineering schools and faculties in Europe. On 1 January 2009 the Engineering Faculty of Mons and the University of Mons-Hainaut merged into a new university called the University of Mons (UMons[2]).

The Faculty organizes a five-year course and delivers the Engineering (Ir.) and Master of Science (MSc.) degree. An Applied Sciences Doctoral degree (Dr.) is also available at the FPMs.
