The iCARE NRT master’s degree is a 2-year interdisciplinary degree program with a dual mission of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice combined with research focused on improving the health of Baltimore Harbor as a socioecosystem. Students will be mentored by a UMBC faculty member and a non-academic scientist from a government agency, non-profit, or industry. That research team will be embedded in a larger stakeholder team, meaning that each student and their mentors will identify one or more community members (non-scientists) with a stake in the research to be engaged in the research from development to completion. Students will also be taking skills courses (community leadership, DEIJ, oral and written communication) and disciplinary courses appropriate to their research project. Students complete requirements for the program while earning a degree from UMBC in Biological Sciences, Environmental Engineering, Geography & Environmental Systems, or the cross-campus Marine Estuarine Environmental Science (MEES) program. Students need to apply to their respective program at this link and complete a supplemental ICARE NRT application by January 1, 2021 for the Fall 2021 cohort.

Please browse the ICARE website for links to potential UMBC faculty mentors (All Environmental Engineering, ENEN, Faculty are potential faculty mentors), their research interests, potential thesis projects (more coming soon!), and other helpful information, including the application portal.

ICARE looks forward to hearing from you!

If you have any questions about the Environmental Engineering Program email cbegrad@umbc.edu. 

The user nodes (taki-usr1 & taki-usr2) are now safely shut-down in preparation for the scheduled power outage in the data center that houses the cluster. All running jobs were stopped.

Please note that for those of you with access to research storage separate from the HPCF, we are bringing research storage systems down as well.

We expect all research storage systems to be back online tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned to this myUMBC Group for further updates and related news & events.
