Through special programs, CMSE staff assist students with course selection, provide personal counseling and advice; and regularly track the academic progress of students in engineering. The Center's staff of advisors is also available to assist new students with course scheduling, class preparation, personal decision-making, and long-range academic and career planning. It is recommended that upper-class students seek advising through their academic departments or through the Office of Undergraduate Advising & Academic Support.

To meet with an advisor in the Center, students should contact us to schedule an appointment.

The BTX Legacy Award Scholarship

As recent Engineering graduates, The BTX Foundation understands the difficulty in trying to balance engineering studies coupled with job(s), extracurricular activities and personal responsibilities.  With the distribution of this scholarship, The BTX Foundation aims to provide financial assistance to ensure future engineers are capable of achieving their academic goals.

The BTX “Think Big” Scholarship awards $4,000 to a UMD College Park engineering student striving to balance rigorous studies and real-life responsibilities. Applicants must be full-time undergraduates in the A. James Clark School of Engineering, maintain at least a 2.5 GPA, and have a minimum of 12 credits remaining. Our goal is to support future engineers in achieving their academic ambitions.  Apply here!
