MESSAGE TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS Thank you for your interest in continuing your engineering education at the University of Maryland. In the A. James Clark School of Engineering we have created an Office of Advanced Engineering Education (OAEE) to encompass all of our practice-oriented graduate education programs, short courses, workshops, license reviews, etc. The primary emphasis of OAEE is the Professional Master of Engineering Program and the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Program. These programs provide working engineers and technical professionals with the opportunity to continue their education and training at one of the best engineering graduate schools in the nation.
Our other graduate program is the Graduate Certificate in Engineering (GCEN), a postbaccalaureate degree which allows engineers at any level (bachelor, master, doctoral) the opportunity to focus their education in a highly specialized area. The GCEN degree requires the completion of only 12 credits of coursework in a prescribed academic option. This program can be used as a stepping-stone to the ENPM program for a student who may not be willing at first to undertake the task of pursuing a master’s program, but later decides to complete the additional courses required to obtain the Master of Engineering degree. We trust that you will find either one of our programs to be a convenient way to earn an engineering graduate degree, to “retool” and keep current with the latest technological developments in your field, or perhaps to develop a new area of expertise so as to further your career. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our website at www.advanedengineering.umd.edu. If you have any comments or suggestions for improving our programs, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. George Syrmos, Executive Director 2
A. JAMES CLARK SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING
Our main offering is the Professional Master of Engineering (ENPM) Program, which offers the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degree for the practicing engineer and has been developed by the engineering faculty of the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. It is a practice oriented, part-time graduate program designed to assist engineers and technical professionals in the development of their careers and to provide the expertise needed in the rapidly changing business, government, and industrial environments. Late afternoon and evening classes are taught by the College Park faculty and experienced adjunct faculty at the College Park campus, designated learning centers in Maryland, and online. The M.Eng. degree requires 30 credits of coursework as opposed to the Master of Science (M.S.) degree that requires 24 credits of coursework plus six credits of thesis (thesis option), or 30 credits of coursework, a written comprehensive examination, plus a scholarly paper (non-thesis option). The M.Eng. degree is not normally undertaken by those wishing to eventually pursue a Ph.D. degree. Typically, the M.S. degree is recommended for those individuals who wish to pursue research experience on their way towards a Ph.D. degree.

ENPM 808 Digital Forensics and Incidence Response
3 Credits
Prerequisite: ENPM 691 Secure Programming in C, CMSC 106 Introduction to C Programming, or permission of the instructor. As software gets more complex, there is even more potential for vulnerabilities to remain in the production version. While traditional and emerging software testing methods are very good at detecting a large majority of “bugs” in the software, modifications to the methods are necessary to ensure vulnerabilities related to security are discovered and mitigated prior to release. In industry, there is also a cost-benefit analysis that determines the limits to pre-release testing, further enforcing the need to uniquely identify security vulnerabilities, potentially prioritizing their correction over other vulnerabilities. This course will cover methods of building security in from the beginning of development and testing the resulting software to ensure security vulnerabilities are detected. The course will use a mixture of textbook principles and research papers to cover the concepts. Students will also complete a course project.

Real estate investment and development is fundamentally the acquisition, financing, construction, leasing, and disposition of land and buildings. Successful development is a function of business planning, management of economic risk, entrepreneurial spirit, timing, experience, and education. While many courses examine the traditional elements of project management, few courses prepare students for the complex interaction of property acquisition, financing, design, and construction. In the evolution of construction management, owners award projects to the construction team that demonstrates a comprehensive grasp of the investment process, identifies and evaluates the impact of construction and design issues in a timely and meaningful manner, and offers valuable insight and information. To succeed and be valued by owners, the construction manager must recognize the mechanics and perils of real estate investment and communicate in the language of development.

Planning is a fundamental capability needed to realize autonomous robots. Planning in the context of autonomous robots is carried out at multiple different levels. At the top level, task planning is performed to identify and sequence the tasks needed to meet the mission requirements. At the next level, planning is performed to determine a sequence of motion goals that satisfy individual task goals and constraints. Finally, at the lowest level, trajectory planning is performed to determine actuator actions to realize the motion goals. Different algorithms are used to achieve planning at different levels. This graduate course will introduce planning techniques for realizing autonomous robots. In addition to covering traditional motion planning techniques, this course will emphasize the role of physics in the planning process. This course will also discuss how the planning component is integrated with control component. Mobile robots will be used as examples to illustrate the concepts during this course. However, techniques introduced in the course will be equally applicable to robot manipulators.
This course introduces basic principles for modeling a robot. Most of the course is focused on modeling manipulators based on serial mechanisms. The course begins with a description of the homogenous transformation and rigid motions. It then introduces concepts related to kinematics, inverse kinematics, and Jacobians. This course then introduces Eulerian and Lagrangian Dynamics. Finally, the course concludes by introducing basic principles for modeling manipulators based on parallel mechanisms. The concepts introduced in this course are subsequently utilized in control and planning courses.
This is a basic course on the design of controllers for robotic systems. The course starts with mainstay principles of linear control, with focus on PD and PID structures, and discusses applications to independent joint control. The second part of the course introduces a physics-based approach to control design that uses energy and optimization principles to tackle the design of controllers that exploit the underlying dynamics of ro88

Perception begins at the sensor level and the class will examine a variety of sensors including inertial sensors and accelerometers, sonar sensors (based on sound), visual sensors (based on light) and depth sensors (laser, time of flight). Perception, in the context of autonomous robots, is carried out in a number of different levels. We begin with the capabilities related to the perception of the robot’s own body and its state. Perception contributes to kinetic stabilization and ego-motion (self motion) estimation. Next come the capabilities needed for developing representations for the spatial layout of the robot’s immediate environment. These capabilities contribute to navigation, i.e. the ability of the robot to go from one location to another. During navigation, the robot needs to recognize obstacles, detect independently moving objects, as well as make a map of the space it is exploring and localize itself in that map. Finally, perception allows the segmentation and recognition of objects in the environment as well as their three dimensional descriptions that can be used for manipulation activities. The course will introduce techniques with hands on projects that cover the capabilities listed before.
