The new Master of Engineering and Public Policy program is a joint venture of the Clark School of Engineering and the School of Public Policy. Its purpose is to create a new kind of leader—an engineer prepared to join in and lead public policy discussions. The program offers specializations in energy, the environment, national security, infrastructure, development, biotechnology and manufacturing.

The Center for Energetics Concepts Development recently began offering a Master of Engineering degree program with a concentration in energetics. The Center, established in 1998, is a cooperative research, technology transfer, product development, and S&T training alliance between the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division and the University of Maryland.
