We welcome all students who wish to declare their major as Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Mechanics!

• Before Matriculating as a Freshman - Declare our Majors

  For incoming freshmen, majors can be declared upon acceptance of admission.  The Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Whiting School of Engineering’s Academic Advising office will work with incoming freshmen to declare majors and select the appropriate introductory courses.
  

• Before Matriculating as a Transfer Student - Declare our Majors

  Students transferring from other institutions are welcome to declare one of our majors. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Whiting School of Engineering’s Academic Advising office will work with students and the department to determine what previous courses will be accepted for credit. The department will determine which courses will count for the degree.

  Academic Program Manager Mike Bernard can explain the majors, as well as help create a degree plan (also known as a 4-year plan). Students will be assigned a faculty advisor.

  Students must complete a series of “introduction to engineering” and “introduction to programming” courses.  There are options to suit each student’s situation. Visit the “Intro to Engineering / Intro to Computing Options” file for information.

  Please contact Mike at me-academic@jhu.edu with your questions.
  

• After Matriculating - Transfer to our Majors

  Students are welcome to declare our majors after matriculating. It is best to declare during the freshman year, but it is possible to declare later.

  Students must complete a series of “introduction to engineering” and “introduction to programming” courses.  There are options to suit each student’s situation. Visit the “Intro to Engineering / Intro to Computing Options” file for information.

  Academic Program Manager Mike Bernard can explain the majors and help determine what courses will count toward our degrees to create a degree plan (also known as a 4-year plan). Please contact Mike at me-academic@jhu.edu to arrange a meeting.  At that meeting, students can declare their majors and be assigned a faculty advisor, or can take time to decide whether or not to declare the major.
