+ Why a master's in engineering?
According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), "a master's degree program is necessary for most advanced design, development and research programs" (http://www.ieeeusa.org/careers/yourcareer.html). Today, that's more true than ever. In a world where technology changes at a lightning pace and where managers are in greater demand than ever, your career advancement depends on graduate education.



+ Why engineering at UMBC?
Systems Engineering and Engineering Management couple the experiences of the region's top engineers with the expertise of UMBC's world-class engineering faculty. The Systems Engineering programs are of immediate value to working engineers and employers, since they are taught by the region's top systems engineers and overseen by a powerhouse board of faculty and industry leaders. Classes are conveniently scheduled in the late afternoon or early evening.



+ What if I'm not ready for a full master's program?
If you're not ready to commit to a full master's degree, try one of our four-course certificate programs. You'll come out with an impressive credential and every credit you earn can be applied to a master's degree if you decide later to enroll.



+ Do you offer non-credit courses?
Building on UMBC's strength in engineering, UMBC Training Centers provides certification preparation courses to prepare the practicing civil, electrical or mechanical engineer for both the FE/EIT (Fundamentals of Engineering/Engineers-in-Training) and the PE (Principles and Practices of Engineering) exams. Review courses for the EIT and PE disciplines are intensive, with an emphasis on problem-solving and testing strategies.
