Well, I wouldn’t say more than 50%…and remember it’s also not just large lectures v small classes…there are those mid-size classes of around 50 students…so, there is definitely variety. And davenmame brings up a good point about having options for professors.

As for research, undergrads absolutely DO have the opportunity to work in the labs… starting freshman year! My son really enjoyed that aspect of his education. They really encourage students to do research, and there are lots of options, whether it be through a formal “program” http://www.eng.umd.edu/research/opportunities, http://www.rise.umd.edu/about, http://www.enme.umd.edu/research/ or on their own (just email professor in charge of the research project you are interested in)
