Each year, a new class of bright and aspiring engineers from across the state of Maryland become students at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, ranked 22nd nationally among undergraduate engineering programs in U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 Best Colleges report.
We owe our success in building our next impressive incoming class, in part, to the students, faculty, and leadership from high schools across Maryland.
