The Undergraduate Experience
Degree Options
You’ve got options. We offer two majors, two tracks, and minors in a variety of specialities. Hear from Academic Program Manager Mike Bernard about our undergraduate majors and tracks.
Student Groups and Clubs
Connect to the Hopkins community and develop your leadership skills by joining engineering student groups. At Johns Hopkins University, about 80 percent of students are involved in one or more of our 350+ student organizations.
Senior Design
The capstone of the Mechanical Engineering program is a unique two-semester sequence in design. Through the 530.403 and 530.404 Senior Design courses, students work in small teams on real projects sponsored by local industry, government, or non-profit organizations.
Research Opportunities
One of the most distinctive features of Johns Hopkins is the access that all undergraduates have to the research laboratories of some of the leading researchers in the world. Current student work ranges from assisting our faculty with remotely piloted deep-sea robots, to the design of advanced medical equipment for minimally invasive surgery.

The students have designed and built a miniature dual-rotor, counter-rotating wind turbine capable of harvesting more energy from the wind in a smaller space. Their design, which they tested this semester in Maryland Hall’s wind tunnel, will compete in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Collegiate Wind Competition and be presented at the American Wind Energy Association’s CLEANPOWER virtual conference in June.
