2009 - 2010 Graduate Catalog

A message for engineers, scientists, and others interested in continuing their careers through professional development:

We look forward to welcoming you to Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals (JHU-EP). Part of The Johns Hopkins University’s Whiting School of Engineering, JHU-EP is recognized as one of the nation’s leading programs in advanced engineering education for working engineers. You can see why as you explore this catalog, discovering the many graduate-level degrees, certificates, and courses we offer, both online and at a number of convenient locations throughout the Baltimore-Washington region.

Since 1912, The Johns Hopkins University has actively promoted continuing education in engineering, making education accessible to our community’s workforce. Today, the Whiting School’s Engineering for Professionals program has grown in size and scope to encompass 15 master’s degree programs as well as a number of advanced certificates.

Our growth and success result from our commitment to provide lifelong learning through courses that balance theory with practice and teach fundamentals in the context of how they can be applied in the “real world.”  The key to this is the quality of our faculty. As active practitioners and researchers in some of the region’s leading private and government organizations, they enrich our courses with their up-to-the-minute knowledge and unique experiences. While giving students a strong command of underlying principles, our instructors also impart the practical knowledge students need to keep abreast of current technologies and approach their work in innovative ways. By constantly adapting to meet the educational requirements of the motivated, working  engineers who come to us as students, and by consulting with industry leaders to anticipate their needs as well, JHU-EP functions as a highly effective professional development tool.

This year, we have added a new master’s degree program in Information Assurance and a new post-graduate certificate in Climate Change, Energy, and Environmental Sustainability. We also continue to increase our online course offerings, with more than 50 courses now online in a number of program areas.  Beginning this fall we will offer three additional master’s degree programs fully online: Systems Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Systems and Technology. These join the existing online master’s degree programs in Environmental Planning and Management and Bioinformatics. Visit our website for updates on these and other programs at www.epp.jhu.edu.

In keeping with the Whiting School’s vision statement, “Leadership Through Innovation,” we believe that an advanced degree or certificate from Hopkins empowers our students to innovate and to lead, by giving them a high level of expertise and a sure grasp of how to apply it.

I urge you to advance your career by becoming one of our colleagues in the Hopkins engineering community.
