| From Johns
Hopkins University:
Please refer to the undergraduate section of
the mechanical engineering website:
http://www.me.jhu.edu/undergrad.html.
Some of the key points in the Hopkins advising
manual are:
"The faculty is committed to maintaining
a modern and flexible curriculum which, building
on a foundation of basic sciences and mathematics,
develops a solid education in the mechanical engineering
sciences. The aim of the Mechanical Engineering
program is to build competence in the analysis,
design and development of thermal, fluid, and
mechanical systems; to promote a broad knowledge
of the contemporary social and economic context,
and to develop the communication skills necessary
to excel....The program provides fundamental courses
in thermal and mechanical systems. Both laboratory
instruction and the senior design project allow
all students hands-on experience. Each student's
program of study is planned in consultation with
his or her faculty advisor. Students are encouraged
to develop depth in one or two areas chosen from:
* The Aerospace Engineering concentration * robotics
* mechanics and design * thermo-fluids and thermo-fluid
systems. The choice of concentration is typically
decided in the junior year after consultation
with the faculty advisor.
The Educational Objectives for the B.S. in Mechanical
Engineering degree program are designed to provide
a high-quality educational experience that is
tailored to the needs and interests of the student.
Each student must follow a program of study that
enables him/her to:
1. Understand and master the fundamentals of
mathematics (through linear algebra and multivariate
calculus), numerical methods, statistical analysis
and physical sciences (physics and chemistry)
necessary to attain competence in the mechanical
engineering disciplines.
2. Design, conduct, evaluate and report experiments
including analysis and statistical interpretation
of data.
3. Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
4. Use basic concepts from the mechanical engineering
sciences, modern engineering tools (instrumentation
and computer hardware and software), and related
subjects to design mechanical engineering components
and processes.
5. Develop the ability to design, develop, and
work professionally in the areas of fluid, thermal,
and mechanical systems.
6. Prepare for professional practice, including
recognition of the need for life-long learning,
effective communication, teamwork, and awareness
of professional and ethical responsibilities.
