Welcome to the (Virtual) Innovation Hall of Fame
One of the highlights of any tour of the A. James Clark School of Engineering is a visit to the Innovation Hall of Fame.* We encourage all students, teachers and the general public to stop by the hall, and especially to attend an annual induction ceremony and White Symposium on Engineering Innovation.
You may also take a virtual tour of the hall’s innovations by selecting any of the entries in the list below. Whom would you nominate to join these engineering greats?
*(The hall is located on the first floor of the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building, at the intersection of Paint Branch Road and Stadium Drive, on the campus of the University of Maryland, College Park).
