<p></p><p>For the fifth consecutive year, the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering ranks among the country’s top 10 public universities in graduate engineering programs, according to <em>U.S. News & World Report</em>'s <a href="../../www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/eng-rankings/index_no_slash.html" target="_blank">2023–24 rankings</a>. Overall, Maryland Engineering ranked 19th among more than 200 public and private engineering schools.</p>
<p>"At the Clark School, we are proud that our graduate students are some of the country's premier leaders and researchers in their fields. We immerse them in a community of renowned faculty, dedicated staff, and like-minded peers, and accelerate their pursuit of research that addresses societal challenges and uncovers discoveries that will shape our tomorrow—giving them a powerful opportunity to achieve their dreams," said Samuel Graham, Jr., dean of the Clark School. "To engineers looking to serve the greater good: We invite you to further your studies and career at Maryland Engineering."</p>
<p>All of the Clark School’s graduate degree programs were in the country's top 25 among public universities; five were among the top 15.</p>

<p>In January 2023, the Clark School’s online graduate engineering program <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/news/story/clark-schools-online-engineering-programs-nationally-ranked-top-20/index_no_slash.html">was ranked 19th</a> among U.S. schools, remaining in the top 20 for the fifth year in a row.</p>
<p>Maryland Engineering is home to one of the most vibrant research programs in the country. With industry-leading expertise in areas that are shaping society—such as quantum technology, energy, robotics and autonomy, life cycle and reliability engineering, and intelligent transportation systems—the Clark School conducts research <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/ask-big-questions/index_no_slash.html">relied upon by federal agencies</a>, major companies, and other academic institutions alike. The school is also home to <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/featured-institutes-and-centers/index_no_slash.html">industry-leading institutes and centers</a>, including ones focused on <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/news/story/umd-to-become-hub-for-industrial-ai/index_no_slash.html">industrial AI</a>, <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/news/story/umd-tapped-to-lead-tier-1-university-transportation-center/index_no_slash.html">transportation</a>, <a href="../../fischellinstitute.umd.edu/index.html" target="_blank">biomedical devices</a>, and <a href="../../cdr.umd.edu/index.html" target="_blank">disaster resilience</a>.</p>
<p>In 2023 alone, three faculty members were <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/news/story/three-umd-faculty-elected-to-national-academy-of-engineering/index_no_slash.html">inducted into the National Academy of Engineering</a>, and three were <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/news/story/maryland-engineers-graham-nau-zhao-elected-fellows-of-aaas/index_no_slash.html">selected as American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellows</a>.</p>
<p>The Clark School is home to one of the state of Maryland’s core hubs for entrepreneurship: the <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/facilities/idea-factory/index_no_slash.html">E.A. Fernandez IDEA Factory</a>, a $67M facility designed to foster technology innovations and advances through collaboration across engineering, the arts, business, and science. Another of Maryland Engineering’s recently opened, state-of-the-art facilities is the $86M <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/news/story/newlyopened-smart-building-to-spur-autonomy-research/index_no_slash.html">SMART Building</a> at the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland, which boasts resources for innovating the next generation of AI and autonomous systems. The school is also building a new $214.4M interdisciplinary engineering building, <a href="../../eng.umd.edu/facilities/zupnik-hall/index_no_slash.html">Stanley R. Zupnik Hall</a>.</p>
