No matter which option you choose for your Master’s Degree (MSE) in Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins – all-course, essay, or co-op essay, you have the option to concentrate your coursework in one or two fields or explore a variety of specializations!

These are many of the topics covered in courses offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Whiting School of Engineering.

(Note:  these course specializations are different from the “area of interest” that applicants are asked to select on their graduate applications.  Though some areas of interest have the same or similar titles to the course specializations below, they each address different items.)
