Recruiting the Best Students from the Best Schools

As part of the University of Maryland, a land-grant institution, the Clark School is required to draw 70 percent of students from its home state. That gives the Clark School a remarkable advantage. In 2012, for the fourth straight year, Maryland's public education system received number-one national rankings from Education Week and the College Board (for advanced placement performance).
 
The Clark School, through its Top 25 Engineering Source Schools Program, makes a special effort to recognize the Maryland high schools that provide it the greatest number of students. Recognition includes the listings at the links below and letters and certificates from Clark School Dean Darryll Pines.

• 2013-2014 Top 25
• 2012-2013 Top 25
• 2011-2012 Top 25
• 2010-2011 Top 25
• 2009-2010 Top 25

Year: Junior
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Hometown: Rockville, MD
High School: Richard Montgomery High School

What Made You Decide to Attend UMD?
The James A. Clark Engineering School and the atmosphere of a large campus.

Best Experience with a Class or Project:
Any class where we had a design project. For Introduction to Engineering Design (ENES100) we built an autonomous hovercraft. It was a great way to start freshman year.

Favorite Class:
In major: Introduction to Engineering Design / Dynamics
Non-major: From Willowbrook to Attica: Delinquency in the Context of Disability

Involvements/Extracurricular Activities:
Muslim Student Association
Muslim Women of Maryland

Favorite On-Campus Event:
Art Attack concerts are always fun. In the past we've had Ludacris, The Bravery, Wycleaf Jean, Cobra Starship, and others come play for us. The sporting events are always great as well. No matter which sport it is, the games are always an enjoyable way to have fun and take a break from classes.

The A. James Clark School of Engineering conducts many activities throughout the year to provide students with opportunities to learn more about engineering. The Engineering Preview Program, held this Fall, connects undergraduate engineering students with current high school students admitted to the Clark School in a series of exciting and interactive panels, tours, and hands-on activities.

The Engineering Preview Program is held on the University of Maryland campus amidst state-of-the-art labs exposing students to interdisciplinary research areas, covering topics such as telecommunications, transportation, national security, healthcare, and product design and manufacturing.

The Engineering Spring Preview Program will allow students to see many Maryland experiences available to them.  We look forward to welcoming you to campus!

All first year engineers participate in Keystone classes to begin their engineering experience. Here at the Clark School, we want to help you build strong fundamental skills and knowledge through project-driven courses.

The Keystone program is comprised of various coursework with the best professors to help guide you through your first few classes as engineers.

Learn more about the Keystone Program and other classes are offered.

With fundamental skills and knowledge you can go on to create and innovate products such as these:

Product Design and Production	Telecommunications and Networking	Nanotechnology
Energy Systems	Biomedical Technologies	Advanced Materials
Space Robotics	Rotorcraft Technologies	Intelligent Transportation Systems
