It’s an exciting time to be an engineer—especially at Johns Hopkins.
Here, engineering encompasses topics as diverse as cryptology, game theory, tissue engineering, bridge design, information security, fluid dynamics, robotics, nanotechnology, medical imaging, and environmental pollutants.
Engineers are both scientists and artists. They combine mathematics, scientific principles, and technology with creative problem-solving in order develop new and better technologies, processes, and products.
At Johns Hopkins Engineering, our undergraduates work side-by-side with faculty who are recognized leaders in their fields. They conduct research, take part in internships, study abroad, and are encouraged to pursue academic interests outside their major field of study.
Hopkins engineering students are immersed in the life of the university, share dorms and take classes with students from the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Peabody Institute, collaborate with researchers at the schools of Medicine and Public Health, and enjoy Baltimore's vibrant social and cultural life.
Rising high school juniors and seniors can enroll in Engineering Innovation--a four-week summer class offered through Johns Hopkins on campuses in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and California. Click here for details!
"Growing up I was always interested in bridge and super structures shows and I knew I wanted to be a civil engineer," says Blair Johnson, a junior in the Department of Civil Engineering. "Now I’m focusing on coastal engineering in the lab of Professor Tony Dalrymple, studying ground conditions under seas and the way waves move over mud." The long term application of such research is of interest to the military, which could use satellite imagery to examine the wave behavior on the surface of water. Depending on the behavior of the wave, engineers could determine the ground conditions below and, hopefully, detect mines on the coasts of other countries.
