Fire Protection Engineering is a unique major offered in the Clark School of Engineering for students interested in a public-safety-oriented engineering career. With 100% job placement, 50% of FPE students on department/industry scholarships, and an average career salary of $137,000, this is a major you want to check out!
In this one-hour tour, you will visit UMD's labs and walk through the department with current fire protection engineering students. A fire demonstration in the burn lab and modeling demos in the computer lab will be included.
Prospective students are encouraged to attend a one-hour virtual Fire Protection Engineering information session prior to attending a tour. See go.umd.edu/FPEIS for upcoming info session dates.
