Dr. Ma gave a talk to new students at HCC

As an ongoing effort to improve transfer process of community college students to UMBC, Dr. Ronghui Ma, a co-Director of the ME S-STEM Scholarship Program and the Director of Undergraduate Program in the ME department, gave a seminar to new students in engineering at the Howard Community College this month.  Dr. Ma's talk consists of three parts: ME program at UMBC in general, ME S-STEM Program, and ongoing research project in her research lab at UMBC.  The room was packed, showing the enthusiasm from the students at HCC to have an opportunity to interact with a faculty from the ME department at UMBC.  Students asked many questions related to the transfer process to UMBC's 4 year ME program and they were excited to hear scholarship opportunity they can apply for, as well as research opportunity they may have at UMBC.  We are looking forward to seeing many applications from HCC students next year.
