Don't cram. Design.
Our students complete a hands-on engineering project in their first year. You might build and test your own hovercraft or a vehicle to survey a remote island where aircraft debris has washed ashore.
Keystone ProgramFind a job right outside our doors.
The University of Maryland is a short metro ride away from Washington, D.C.’s federal agencies and offices of leading corporations, and seven miles from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. You don’t need to look anywhere else — all of the jobs and internships are right here.
Career ServicesRoam these halls.
If almost 200 state-of-the-art laboratories, centers, major projects, and consortia aren’t enough, you’ll be happy to learn that we are building some new ones at this very moment.
FacilitiesTravel. Discover. Start your business.
At the Clark School, you can volunteer to build a rainwater collection system in Sierra Leone, spend a semester at a foreign university, or start your first company.
Programs & ServicesLet us support you.
From the Women in Engineering Program and the Center for Minorities in Science & Engineering to our Office of Undergraduate Advising & Academic Support, we are supportive, inclusive, and interested in helping our students succeed.
Student Affairs & Academic Success ProgramsGo to town.
There’s tons to do on campus. Cheer your face off at our sporting events (Fear the Turtle!), attend music and art gatherings, or go to the theater. You can also explore hot spots in Washington, D.C., visit the Chesapeake Bay to try steamed crabs, or hike the Civil War trails. Live like a Marylander. Become a Terp.
EventsMake a breakthrough.
Or work toward it. Students play a crucial role in the development of Clark School innovations and participate in cutting-edge research with our award-winning faculty.
Research OpportunitiesCompete and win.
Our students participate in dozens of teams from UMD Loop to Solar Decathlon to Terps Racing. They regularly attend national and international competitions and almost as regularly come back with prizes.
Student CompetitionsThe best part of working in my position is that it gives me a holistic perspective of the academic publication process.
On a real fire call, I draw on everything I’ve learned in my major, from how fires behave to how buildings burn.
[There is] fluidity between what we’re learning and what’s happening in the real world.
The University of Maryland has been a very hands-on experience that I've enjoyed because that's the part of engineering that I enjoy.
This scholarship has allowed me to put more time into my studies and into the racing team
As we get older and have more power, I don’t want our generation to lose what we currently have right now: this feeling that we can change the world.
