Undergrads from universities nationwide dove headfirst into exciting Hopkin research projects as part of the NSF’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics (CSMR).
Despite their full course loads, a team of Johns Hopkins mechanical engineering students found the time to take on a very special project this semester. Caterina Esposito, Emily Maheras, Mariah Harris, Angela Groszos, Radha Deshmukh, and Willa Grinsfelder teamed up with V-LINC to design a new scooter for a 3-year-old living with cerebral palsy. V-LINC […]
Connor Joyce will join the U.S. Army as second lieutenant after graduation.
Last week, students in the graduate-level Robot Systems Programming course showcased robotics projects in demonstrations at the Homewood campus. Students designed, built, and programmed robot systems that can perform a variety of tasks, including self-driving cars and flying drones. Even the game-playing robots showcased skills that have important applications for modern technology.
18 co-institutional teams, each made up of two MICA students and two or three Hopkins engineering students, were tasked with creating innovative and interactive “life hacks” based on their shared experiences.
Students in the Engineering Design Process class regularly come away from the experience with drill saw and laser cutter skills, but those enrolled in the mechanical engineering course this spring will also come away with something more unexpected: handcrafted, wooden banjos.
Four members of the Baja team traveled to Barclay Elementary/Middle School to show this year’s car to 17 students, and explain engineering principles that allowed them to build it.
Through Baltimore nonprofit V-LINC, a group of budding mechanical engineers make one family’s holidays a little brighter.
First-year students apply mechanical engineering principles they’ve learned in their intro classes in annual design challenge competition.
Unintentional scientific breakthroughs are not entirely uncommon, but the knowledge gathered from serendipitous discoveries brings a certain kind of excitement and inspiration to investigators about their research. Sarah Friedrich, INBT PhD candidate; her colleagues; and her mentor, Jeff Tza-Huei Wang, experienced this excitement when they unintentionally discovered a new method that drastically improves the process of testing DNA.
