What Made You Decide to Attend UMD?

I decided to attend UMD because I was accepted into the Clark Scholars Program that provided the well-rounded education and support that I was looking for. Additionally, the Clark School offered the variety of majors, minors, and activities that I was looking for as an Engineering Undecided major. 

Best Experience with a Class or Project

My best class experience has been building an over-terrain vehicle in ENES100: Intro to Engineering Design where I I was able to work with a team to complete the engineering design process from start to finish.
