The College of Engineering was founded in 1894 as part of the Maryland Agricultural College (which merged with the University of Maryland in 1920 to become the University of Maryland, College Park). In 1949, it was named Glenn L. Martin College of Engineering and Aeronautical Sciences after aviator and aircraft company founder Glenn L. Martin, a donor to the University of Maryland, College Park. The name was changed for a second time in 1955 to the Glenn L. Martin Institute of Technology. (In 1988, the University of Maryland became the University of Maryland at College Park. In 1994, the college became known as the A. James Clark School of Engineering.)
