-: I had a fantastic experience with UMD.
The professors that I had, the Civil Engineering Department
are really involved in the community and they have
some great community contacts.
So coming out of school, I was already,
had been introduced to multiple people in the industry,
which was a fantastic resource.
Just the variety of experiences,
seen through the coursework.
A lot of the professors are involved in research
and being involved in that research,
getting to meet industry professionals,
and then seeing the projects that are going on
in our community was a huge asset.
