programs that are also intimately connected with several of the major
research centers at UMBC, including the Joint
Center for Earth Systems Technology (JCET), the Goddard
Earth Sciences and Technology Center (GEST), the
Center for Advanced Study of Photonics Research (CASPR), and the
Joint Center for Astrophysics (JCA).
