What Made You Decide to Attend UMD?

A part of me has always knew I wanted to attend UMD. When I was applying to college, many other schools caught my attention. However, UMD remained the star because of the Clark school. It’s high ranking and them having the exact track I wish to pursue in the future solidified my choice to come here. 

Best Experience with a Class or Project

My best experience was ENES 100 when my group and I had to design and 3D print a device that sensed when the perfect time was to lift a tea bag out of cup to make the perfect cup of tea.
