Preview Programs 2013

Congratulations on your admission to the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland!

We hope that you will visit us this spring to learn about the opportunities available to engineering students in the Clark School. Please join us to learn more at a Preview Program! We have arranged a special program for you, where you will meet students in the Clark School and find out about student research, activities, and projects. You will find that combining this program with the academic information presented during the Friday open houses will give you an overview to the people, projects, and experiences you can look forward to as an engineering student!

This program is led by engineering students and presented to the admitted students, and parents will receive additional information about things to do in the College Park area in the confirmation e-mail. The Preview Program is a great way to hear individual stories of our accomplished undergraduates. This experience is very different from the Spring Open House the following morning, so please join us for both! Please contact us if you have any questions about the program, and we look forward to welcoming you to the Clark School!

Engineering Preview Programs will be on Thursday, March 7, 2013 and Sunday, March 24, 2013. This is a great opportunity to go beyond the open house events and to talk with many undergraduate engineering students and staff representing a wide range of programs.

Registration for Thursday, March 7

5:00 – 7:00 p.m.: Registration, meet and greet, pizza and snacks with staff and students
6:00 - 6:45 p.m.: Women in Engineering Reception and Information Session
7:00 – 9:00 p.m.: Engineering Preview Program

Current students will share their experiences during a student panel, and then lead you through a hands-on project that you will design, build, and present! Parents will have an opportunity to meet with staff and students in a parents-only forum.

This event precedes the Spring Open House on Friday, March 8 offered by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. During the Spring Open House, you will meet with one of the 8 engineering departments to learn more about the majors, classes, and research available.

Register for the March 7th Preview Program

Registration for Sunday, March 24

Unfortunately, registration for this event is closed.  We encourage you to attend an upcoming Information Session to learn more about the Clark School of Engineering  or meet us at Maryland Day, the largest campus-wide open house of the year.  You may also wish to attend a Spring Open House facilitated by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions; register here.
