125th Anniversary Mpact Challenge Exhibition

“Daring Vision. Lasting Impact.”
Leidos Innovation Lab, A. James Clark Hall
4:00–5:00 p.m.

Engineers have the unique capability to innovate and design novel products and solutions that can improve millions of lives. The Clark School places special emphasis on aiming for this ultimate outcome: transforming fearless ideas into new innovations that benefit millions. This is what we call “Mpact.”

Focused on demonstrating our “Mpact” on society, the Mpact Challenge Projects seek to develop solutions to exciting engineering problems or to design and build novel products that have the potential to improve the lives of millions of people. From engineering complex vascularized tissues to building electric bicycles to designing a “smart” bra that can detect cancer, explore the bold innovations from Clark School students and faculty in an open exhibition.

The Mpact Challenge Projects are supported by Building Together: An Investment for Maryland.
