I am currently a civil engineering graduate from the University of Maryland, College park seeking to return to school to break into finance. I hopefully want to enter the Asset Management or investment banking areas upon graduating.
Can anyone attest to the strength of the program for domestic students?
Looks like a newish program with not a long history of placements. Since you're a career switch, probably better you focus on the more established full-time MSF programs (assuming you have less than 2 years or so FT work experience). If you've been working longer, then probably focus on full-time MBAs. That said, plenty of Maryland grads working in boutique/MM IB. Probably a few across BBs but to a lesser extent.
And I hope that's not your real name either.

what's bad in using your real name? especially when there is nothing wrong or provoking said
Maybe ask the faculty running it? I think this person is pretty capable as a former MD in nyc
I think the program is fine and the brand is decent. Issue is you aren't going to find any real OCR and the program's career services don't really focus on MSF placements like they do at other programs. If you have a good resume and lot of banking/AM internship experience, a great network and just looking for another year and a better GPA, then it might be worth it. If your goal is IB/AM or bust and you want a program to help you with it, then I would look elsewhere.
Generally speaking, how successful do you feel I would be as an engineer (with a year's experience in engineering) in obtaining positions in this field (without finance internships)? My only concern is that I will be at a disadvantage to talented undergraduates who possess a finance degree and carry internship experiences. Which programs would you recommend that have the strongest OCR in the mid-Atlantic (goal is to remain in Baltimore/DC)? Is Hopkins a better program (in your opinion)?
