Program Overview

University of Maryland Junior Endeavor Transfer (JET) Program

The University of Maryland Junior Endeavor Transfer (JET) Program is designed to assist Maryland Community College students in transferring to the University of Maryland to complete their degree in aerospace engineering.

Program Overview

The JET Program is a summer program administered by the Department of Aerospace Engineering and supported by the Clark School of Engineering. The primary purpose of JET is to help ease the transition for Maryland external transfer students from area community colleges and get them on a 2-year track to completing their B.S. in Aerospace Engineering.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for the JET Program, students must:

• Apply and receive a Summer Pathways Scholarship through the Clark School of Engineering
• Be transferring from a Maryland state community college
• Earn the minimum passing grade in the course (C- or higher unless otherwise noted)
• Have already completed all required 100 and 200 level coursework
• Be admitted for the upcoming fall semester to A. James Clark School of Engineering with a declared major of aerospace engineering
• Successfully matriculate and enroll in the University of Maryland for the upcoming fall semester

Program Components

The JET Program consists of:

• SUMM071: The Aerospace Engineering Profession, a 0-credit intro course designed specifically for transfer students
• ENAE283: Introduction to Aerospace Systems, a 3-credit course
• Subsidized summer tuition expense through the Summer Pathways Scholarship through the Clark School of Engineering

Completing the Aerospace Engineering Major in Two Years

Transfer students who wish to complete the aerospace major within 2 years once they are admitted to UMD must also transfer in all the following UMD course equivalents:

• ENAE202
• ENES100
• ENES102
• ENES220
• ENES232
• ENAE283
• ENGL101
• PHYS161
• PHYS260 & 261
• PHYS270 & 271
• CHEM135
• MATH140
• MATH141
• MATH241
• MATH240 OR 461
• MATH246

It is recommended that students complete ENAE202 before transferring. ENAE283 is not available at the majority of community colleges and is offered at UMD during the summer as part of the JET program. ENAE202 and ENAE283 must be completed before receiving permission to enroll in any junior-level aerospace courses. If these courses are not completed prior to starting the Aerospace degree at UMD, students should expect to take at least 3 years to complete their degree.
