Thanks Maryversity. Does this mean that if S majors in ME, most of his in-major classes (i.e. More than 50%) will most likely be large lectures (with subsequent recitation breakdowns) with a few exceptions, depending on his choices, and that he will likely have very few classes of around 30 students? Just trying to get a sense of what S is looking at.

Also, one of the things that attracts S so much to UMD is the labs/facilities. Do engineering undergrads have the opportunity to actually work with the equipment in labs (i.e. Get real hand-on training) and learn how to use the equipment, or is that reserved for grad students, professors, and undergrads who are able to work on research projects for professors? Again, not being an engineer myself, I’m trying to get a sense of what S can expect. I’m hoping that the technology/ facilities not only look impressive but can actually be used by undergrads! Thanks.
