Recruiting the Best Students from the Best Schools

Top 25As 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.

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.
