Have you started thinking about what you would like to do after you graduate?
As a graduating Mechanical Engineering student you have a lot of options to consider. Below you will find some resources to help you begin your planning.
Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam
The FE Exam is open to students who have graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree or are in their last semester of their degree and is the first step in the process to becoming a professional licensed engineer (PE). The exam is now computer-based and offered year-round. Resources and review videos are available to you at no cost on the Clark School CANVAS FE Exam Review Site.
Did you miss the FE Exam Review we held this semester? Are you interested in accessing free reviews of topics covered on the exam? They have been recorded and posted to our FE Review site. To request access to the FE Review site, go to: http://ter.ps/FEReview

Graduate School
Attending graduate school for an MS or PhD is a popular choice for students who are looking to go into research or academia, but there are a variety of other reasons one would pursue this option. The University of Maryland also offers Master of Engineering or Graduate Certificate programs (non-thesis based) in person or online.
Each semester we host a Graduate Studies Info Session to discuss these options and the application process, what to look for in a program, and other points of interest. To view the Fall 2016 Graduate Studies Info Session, *HERE. *Faculty recommendations in the panel discussion represent the personal views of the faculty members and may not represent accurate portrayal of other faculty views and policies.
