Johns Hopkins is launching three new full-time
engineering master's degree programs aimed at
giving graduates a solid educational foundation and a
competitive edge before they seek employment in
private industry or government organizations.
The three programs, designed to be completed in a year
to a year and a half, are in engineering
management, bioengineering innovation and design, and
financial mathematics.
To provide information to prospective students, the
Whiting School of
Engineering will conduct
an open house event from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on
Thursday, Dec. 4, in the Sherwood Room of
Levering Hall on the Homewood campus. Representatives of
these programs will be present, along with
those of other Whiting School master's degree programs.
Lunch will be provided. All potential
applicants, including current Johns Hopkins undergraduates,
are invited to attend.
"Many of the master's degrees we offer are either
part-time programs for working
professionals or full-time programs for students who plan
to go on to pursue a doctoral degree," said
Nicholas Jones, the Benjamin T. Rome Dean of Engineering.
"These three new programs are different.
They join our highly regarded master of science in security
informatics program in that they are
designed to prepare students who plan to look for a job
immediately after earning this degree. In
these tough economic times, students who complete these
rigorous programs will gain a competitive
advantage when they begin their careers."
The 10-course master's in engineering management
program is accepting applications for
enrollment in spring and fall 2009. The curriculum combines
course work in advanced engineering and in
management to prepare graduates for professional positions
with consulting firms, defense
contractors and government agencies. Students select one of
12 technical concentrations offered
across the Whiting School and enroll in management courses
provided primarily by its
Center for
Leadership Education, with additional offerings from
the Carey Business
School and the Whiting
School's Engineering and
Applied Science Programs for Professionals. Those
entering the program
during the spring and fall 2009 semesters will receive a 50
percent tuition waiver and health insurance
benefits.

The master's program in bioengineering innovation and
design, offered through the Department
of Biomedical Engineering, will launch in summer 2009. It
is targeted to advanced students who wish
to pursue careers in biomedical device innovation and
design. This yearlong program consists of core
engineering, physiological and entrepreneurial courses;
electives; and a design project that focuses on
solving a problem found in a real-world clinical setting.
Each team of two to four students will rotate
through the clinical and surgical world of The Johns
Hopkins Hospital.

The program in financial mathematics is offered
through the Department of Applied
Mathematics and Statistics. It requires three semesters to
complete, with students starting in late
summer and finishing in mid-December of the following year.
Students with a strong quantitative
undergraduate background are encouraged to apply. The
program aims to equip graduates with the
engineering-driven approaches widely used to construct and
deploy the financial transactions and
processes that function as the international financial
system and capital markers.
