FAQs

• What are common career outcomes for graduates?
  
  Graduates often work in aerospace, robotics, energy, biomedical engineering, automotive, consulting, and advanced manufacturing. Many also pursue a PhD at Johns Hopkins or other top institutions.
• Are there opportunities for research during the program?
  
  Yes, students in the thesis track work with faculty on cutting-edge projects in areas such as robotics, medical devices, nanomechanics, energy systems, and fluid-structure interaction. Even coursework-track students may access labs and participate in projects if they find faculty mentors.
• What academic background is needed for admission?
  
  Applicants should hold a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related field (such as aerospace engineering, civil engineering, or applied physics). A strong foundation in mathematics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and programming is expected.
• How many courses are required for completion?
  
  Typically, students must complete 10 graduate-level courses (30 credits). For those pursuing a thesis option, some course requirements may be replaced with approved research credits.
• What are the degree options available?
  
  Students may pursue either a coursework-only Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) or a research-based Master’s with thesis. The coursework track is designed for professional advancement, while the thesis track prepares students for research or PhD study.
• What is the focus of the Master’s in Mechanical Engineering program at Johns Hopkins?
  
  The program offers advanced training in mechanical engineering with options for both coursework and research. Students can specialize in areas such as robotics, mechanics and materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, energy systems, biomechanics, and manufacturing.
