University of Maryland, College Park

The University of Maryland, College Park, is a public research university, the flagship campus of the University System of Maryland and the original 1862 land-grant institution in Maryland. The University advances knowledge, provides outstanding and innovative instruction, and nourishes a climate of intellectual growth in a broad range of academic disciplines and interdisciplinary fields.

A. James Clark School of Engineering

At the Clark School of Engineering, we bring together forward-looking people dedicated to creating progress and to making the world a better place. We are talented undergraduate and graduate students, award-winning faculty, dedicated staff, leading corporate and government partners, supportive alumni and visionary philanthropists. We work together in nine academic departments, three research institutes, an array of innovative cross-disciplinary programs, major corporate and government labs, and nationwide alumni chapters. Together, we help to make this diverse and dynamic campus a place to discover ideas and technologies that will change the world.

Master of Engineering in Energetic Concepts (Online)

This program will prepare you for a career in energetics, a branch of the physical science of mechanics, which deals primarily with energy and its transformations. Energetics research is the underpinning of the development of explosives and propellants. Energetics has clear applicability to military R&D, including the development of explosives technology, undersea weapons and pilot ejection devices. Other applications are in space exploration, fire suppression, anti-terrorism and cartridge-actuated devices such as door openers and automobile airbags.

Master of Engineering in Fire Protection Engineering (Online)

The Master of Engineering in Fire Protection curriculum supports the emerging international movement toward performance-based approaches to fire safety analysis and design. It will provide you with a thorough understanding of the physics and chemistry of fire necessary for predicting building system performance and analyzing failures. Additionally, you will be required to demonstrate the ability to use scientific and engineering principles to evaluate structures for the hazards of fire and apply engineering principles in the assessment of performance of fire protection systems. You will learn how to use deterministic and probabilistic methods for analyzing fire risk as well as use computer models to simulate fire development. There is no research component required, and the program can be completed entirely online in 15 months on a part-time basis.

Master of Engineering in Project Management (Online)

Graduate Certificate in Engineering - Project Management (Online)

If you are in the fields of engineering, design, information technology, communications, construction, architecture or other technical disciplines engaged in managing projects, this program is for you. Both the Graduate Certificate in Engineering and Master of Engineering in Project Management prepare you to excel in your engineering career by blending high-demand project management skills with your excellent engineering knowledge.

This is not a watered down internet program. Our online classes are identical to those offered on our main campus. What you learn, as you learn it, is immediately beneficial to you and your employer. Our ever evolving course of study –- refined for years at our main campus –- was developed by expert engineering project management practitioners. It sets the standard for internet-accessible programs.

Master of Engineering in Reliability Engineering (Online)

Graduate Certificate in Engineering - Reliability Engineering (Online)

Reliability, safety and quality are the keys to success in today's commercial, industrial and public sector environments. Reliability engineers perform a wide variety of special management and engineering tasks to ensure that sufficient attention is given to details that will affect the reliability of a given system. The tasks for production of a particular system include the following specific reliability tasks: participate in the planning stages to ensure that resources for a good reliability engineering program are being allocated; prepare a reliability program plan; list the needed reliability tasks and for each give the depth to which it should be performed, when it should be performed, who will use the results and what resources (time, people, money) the task will use; budget the allowable system failures down to the component level; evaluate the reliability potential of alternative designs; ensure that all components in a design will actually behave as the designer anticipates they will behave and that they will have suitably long lives; and formulate and run tests on components, subsystems and the system itself. Areas of specialization include assessment testing and operation, component and structures, electronic packaging and software reliability.
