A Long Tradition of Excellence - Ranked in the top 20 nationally by U.S. News & World Report, our mechanical engineering programs are among the best in the country and have been for decades.
Defining the State-of-the-Art - Unlocking the mysteries of the basic forces process – around and within us – that determine how things work, our researchers are defining the future of their fields and developing innovations that are shaping our lives today and for generations to come.
Educating the Very Best - Our students go on to attend the nation’s top graduate schools and pursue careers at industry-leading organizations and companies. Meet our outstanding alumni.
Confronting COVID-19 - In the face of pandemic, MechE researchers quickly switched gears to focus on COVID-19 research, from understanding how virus-carrying droplets are formed and carried to developing new testing tools and integrating robotics into patient care.
Research Areas
Fluid Mechanics
A strong focus is on turbulence and its diverse aspects, investigated by theoretical, computational, and experimental methods. DetailsMechanics and Materials
Studying the deformation, fracture, fatigue, and failure of solids at different time and length scales (from atoms to planets) through advanced analytical, computational, and experimental techniques. DetailsMechanical Engineering in Biology and Medicine
Areas of excellence include biofluids, integrated biological systems, neural control, mathematical modeling, and biomedical devices and instrumentation. Details
An Exceptional Faculty
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University is home to 33 dedicated tenured and tenure-track faculty; more than 30 research faculty, lecturers, and visiting faculty; and two National Academy of Engineering members.
