Maryland Engineering is only minutes away from Capitol Hill, leading federal agencies, major corporate headquarters, national and global trade associations, and think tanks. As our partner, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside some of the movers and shakers in industry and government—names like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Whiting-Turner, the U.S. National Institute of Health, NASA, and many others.
Maryland Engineering is a launchpad for innovations in quantum technology, benefiting from the creative work of 200+ quantum researchers—one of the largest concentrations in the world. It is home to an institute that routinely makes breakthroughs in energy technology and successfully nurtures a community of energy innovation startups. Maryland Engineering is also the national leader in mobility analytics. Our transportation and mobile data platforms are used by everyone who tracks the pulse of our nation, including academics, federal and state departments of transportation, the CDC, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve, policy-makers, Google, and more.
Where Any Student Can Make a DifferenceHow do the most promising engineers end up at Maryland? There’s a big reason why Amazon is one of the main employers of our graduates and why they fund Clark School doctoral fellowships. And it’s not just because HQ2 is located right here in Crystal City. Maryland Engineering draws a diverse talent pool that can fuel growth with new perspectives. These students come to us to make a difference, mentored by the best experts in their fields and placed in an environment that spurs collaboration and creativity. They develop solutions that earn awards in global student competitions and contribute to a more equitable society from Day One of their studies. Embracing the local culture of public service, many of our graduates stay in the DMV area— especially since they find jobs in the most powerful organizations right outside our doors.
Do Your Best Work HereOur faculty choose Maryland because the problems we solve here have a ripple effect on the world around us. As one of the nation’s top engineering schools, we’re known for our proficiency in fields like autonomy and robotics, energy, and big data, among many others. We are the only school in the country to teach fire protection engineering at the undergraduate level, and home to the one-of-a-kind, on-campus neutral buoyancy facility. Keeping the “bigger picture” in focus is part of our ethos. Each and every day, in every lab, we ask, “What’s possible?” How can we directly impact safety, health, technology, and sustainability to drive positive change? Searching for the answers, we make groundbreaking discoveries in space, provide servicemen in the battlefield with safe and reliable sources of energy, and equip surgeons with a gel that switches adhesion in the repaired tissue on and off. When problems come to Maryland, they get transformed into innovations.
