Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals online master’s program in mechanical engineering—ranked 7th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report—has launched three new focus areas for student specialization:
Aerospace Engineering: Immersing students in the analysis, design, and development of aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and rockets.
Hypersonic Technologies: Emphasizing the complex multidisciplinary challenges associated with sustained hypersonic flight, spanning speeds from Mach 5 to orbital velocities.
Ocean Engineering: Exploring ship hydrodynamics, offshore platforms, subsea pipelines, ocean instrumentation, wave/tidal energy, and environmental monitoring.
“From underwater and space exploration to understanding land erosion and enabling hypersonic travel, our goal is to cultivate a new generation of mechanical engineers who are well-prepared to make their mark in these exciting and evolving fields,” said Professor Jaafar El-Awady, program chair. “These focus areas were developed to immerse students in highly relevant, practical knowledge they can immediately apply in their career.”
