Tour the 

A. James Clark School of Engineering

at the University of Maryland College Park


November 1, 2024    8:15 am - 11:15 am EDT

Engineers at Maryland are designing, building, 3D printing, and commercializing new technology solutions that take on society’s grand challenges.


Join Clark School of Engineering researchers and fellow DCSWA members at UMD’s College Park campus for:

· A science cafe-style coffee chat with a bioengineering professor. 


· A facility tour of UMD’s nuclear reactor, a small, low-power training reactor that uses an inherently safe fuel called TRIGA.

· A facility tour of UMD’s 367,000-gallon neutral buoyancy tank — one of only two in the U.S. designed to mimic the zero-gravity environment of space, and the only one in the world on a college campus.

Please note:
