Maryland engineers are working to make the future of artificial intelligence (AI) safer, more sustainable—and an engine of opportunity for all.
We are educating students to understand AI as well as the physical systems where it’s deployed.
The rapid adoption of AI is reshaping nearly every industry as it accelerates automation and increases efficiency.
At the same time, the advent of AI has strained natural resources and revealed the need for a workforce that knows how to harness its capabilities and maintain its infrastructure.
Maryland Engineering is developing creative, pragmatic solutions to these challenges while equipping professionals with the skills they need to lead in the AI economy.

A UMD team is working to provide regulators with a roadmap to certifying AI technologies in the autonomous fleets that are increasingly popping up in cities across the U.S. and around the world.
AI for Autonomous Vehicles
UMD engineers are improving standards for the water used to cool server racks; in turn, this cleaner water can have a second life by heating greenhouses or other structures.
As data centers proliferate, UMD engineers are ensuring these enormous structures are built to last, with fewer environmental impacts.
UMD engineers usher in AI’s “cool” revolution: innovative technology to reduce the power and water usage of AI data centers.
UMD engineers develop a streamlined method for tuning large language models that cuts energy use and boosts performance.
UMD engineers help industry improve safety and maximize output by identifying and collecting useful data that can be analyzed for optimization by AI.
Maryland’s new Engineering AI master’s degree for professionals gives graduates an edge in an evolving workplace.
