In fall 2021, the A. James Clark School of Engineering’s graduate students returned to full-time in-person learning and research, and the buzz in Maryland Engineering’s classrooms and labs hasn’t subsided since.
Young innovators published results of their breakthrough energy storage studies in Nature Nanotechnology and Nature Communications, brought a 500-year old helicopter design to life “with flying colors,” developed respirator masks for the next pandemic, enhanced the treatment for type 1 diabetes, and led a multimillion-dollar project in autonomy for the U.S. Army. All these achievements and more, combined with faculty excellence, an extensive network of industry and government partners, unique employment opportunities, inclusive culture and vibrant student life, and a home address five miles away from Washington, D.C. placed Maryland Engineering among top 10 public graduate schools in the 2023 U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools ranking.
