Congratulations on your admission to Maryland Engineering! We are pleased to offer opportunities for you to learn about The Women in Engineering (WIE) Program and interact with current engineering students. We're eager to welcome you to our community!
Watch this virtual campus tour highlighting the research facilities available at the Clark School as well as some of our student competition teams!
Students admitted to the University of Maryland for Fall 2025/Spring 2026 and one guest are invited to join current Maryland students, faculty, staff, and alumnae to learn more about Maryland Engineering. Explore the many opportunities available to you at the University of Maryland, ask current students about their life as an engineer, and hear from women who have launched exciting and rewarding engineering careers. An optional student-led Clark School of Engineering facilities tour will be offered at 5:00 PM, prior to the reception, for interested attendees.
Flexus and Virtus, two engineering living and learning communities, are specialized residential programs focused on promoting community, inclusion and social change through connections to faculty and specific academic units/departments within the Clark School and in the field of engineering. Women in Engineering Program staff, Resident Life staff and other student services staff at the University link the curricular and residential experiences in ways that create opportunities for deeper understanding and integration of classroom material. Flexus and Virtus aim to provide the resources and structure for first- and second-year engineering students to be successful through graduation, positively impacting the retention and graduation of undergraduate students in the A. James Clark School of Engineering.
Students admitted to the Clark School for Fall 2025 are invited to join us to speak with current Flexus students and alumnae and current Virtus students and alumni to learn more about these engineering living and learning communities. Learn about academic, professional, and social support in addition to the unique networking opportunities and course curriculum these programs offer.
