Our Crowdfunding Groups
The A. James Clark School of Engineering is a catalyst for high-quality research, innovation, and learning, delivering on a promise that all graduates will leave ready to impact the grand challenges of our time in areas such as energy, sustainability, infrastructure, global healthcare, security, machine learning, and AI.
In addition to a robust curriculum, Dean Samuel Graham and the leadership of the Clark School are committed to providing access to all students to gain hands-on, enriching experiential learning opportunities. Support for experiential learning lowers the economic barrier for a student's participation by funding travel, enrollment fees, and other out-of-pocket expenses.
Student Clubs and Societies
The Clark School is home to more than 30 clubs and societies including local chapters of international professional organizations and some exclusive to the UMD campus. Student organizations help Clark School students build a network of people with similar interests, gain exposure to hands-on projects and a variety of valuable skills to complement their classroom experience.
Competitive Teams
Engineering students are sparking innovation and leading the way on cross-campus design teams and bringing home top prizes from international competitions including the Hyperloop and Solar Decathlon. And through participation on teams such as Terps Racing and Concrete Canoe, they are continuing legacies of UMD engineering excellence.
Research Opportunities
Undergraduate and graduate students engage in numerous research programs spanning bioengineering, telecommunications, robotics, materials, and energy systems by working together they create powerful insights and innovations.
Support for the Experiential Learning Fund fuels hands-on education and co-curricular activities and provides resources for student organizations and competition teams. By enhancing experiential learning opportunities, this fund ensures that students not only graduate with theoretical knowledge but also with practical skills that set them apart in the workforce and prepare them to solve society's most pressing challenges.
On Giving Tuesday support the Experiential Learning Fund to provide students with invaluable real-world experiences that will shape their careers!
