Future-Proof your Engineering Career!
The University of Maryland - the flagship campus of the University System of Maryland, offers an excellent Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering program. This field combines the core elements of computer science, electrical engineering, and computer engineering to design and develop systems that integrate physical processes with software and hardware components. Cyber-physical systems are becoming increasingly important in various industries, such as transportation, healthcare, environmental resilience, security and manufacturing, which is anticipated to further grow in the coming years. At the University of Maryland, you can expect to learn about cutting edge topics such as embedded systems, real-time computing, robotics, machine learning and cybersecurity. The program will provide you the strong foundation in both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, enabling you to tackle the complex challenges of designing and managing cyber-physical systems.
Hands-on Experience is the Best Way to Learn
The University of Maryland also has great resources and opportunities for students, such as research projects, internships, and collaboration with industry partners. The classes are small and hands-on. These experiences can further enhance your learning and provide valuable hands-on experience. Most importantly, scholarships and financial assistance are widely available. All students who have graduated through the CPSE program have found gainful employment in the digital realm, because the workforce demand is great. Our graduates hit the ground running with the hands-on training. The CPSE program has recently applied for ABET accreditation - which we expect to be granted and making the program the first in the nation. This is the future, and we invite you to look into this program. An even better advantage is that the program is offered exclusively at the Universities at Shady Grove, with ample resources and accommodations for students uncommon in the main campus. USG is in the midst of a transformation that includes the creation of the Energy and Technology Hub that promises close cooperation between the academe, employers and policy makers to develop outstanding workforce.
