Department faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students are working on some of the most challenging and exciting research projects of our time. With approximately 85 full-time and affiliate faculty members, over 800 undergraduate students, 330 graduate students and over $37 million in research expenditures, the department is one of the most active education and research units at the University of Maryland.
The Computer Engineering degree program (127 credits) and the Electrical Engineering degree program (123 credits) are designed to give graduates the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to work in the field of computer or electrical engineering and to continue learning throughout their careers.
Program Educational Objectives:
Within a few years from graduation, a graduate of electrical/computer engineering will have engaged in professional development, and will have attained any of the following program educational objectives:
- Achieve advanced technical expertise and/or advance to a leadership position in industry or government
- Earn a graduate degree from a respected graduate program in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related field
- Become an innovator and/or entrepreneur in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or related space
- Use their professional knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as their sense of ethical responsibility, to make a positive impact on societal and environmental concerns and/or to improve the climate for diversity, equity and inclusiveness within the profession
This year, as a co-director of Sponsorship for Technica, I had the rewarding experience of working with driven & talented people passionate about gender equality in tech.
ENEE101 reinforced my confidence in knowing that electrical engineering is the field I should be going into.
I was intrigued by all that the A. James Clark School of Engineering has to offer. The quality and dedication of the faculty convinced me that UMD should be a tied-for-first choice school for me, and when I was deciding between schools that I got into, the opportunity presented by the generous scholarship left for me by Mr. Clark and the Clark Foundation made it impossible to not choose Maryland.
The financial support I was given was absolutely the difference between me being able to pursue my degree or not.
I decided to major in Computer Engineering because it combined the best of both worlds: computer science and engineering. I thought it would be interesting to not only code but to also learn about the inner functions/hardware of computers. So far, being a member of this department has been interesting and fun and I cannot wait to see what awaits in the future.
Equal representation in tech is not just a minority issue - we need all hands in to help bridge the gap.
