<p>I am choosing between mechanical engineering here and at Duke.... which one has better name? Is JHU well known for engineering? (other than BME)</p>
<p>I don't know much about the MechE at Hopkins, except that it is full of very productive professors-- <a href="http://chronicle.com/stats/productivity/page.php?primary=5&secondary=51&bycat=Go%5B/url%5D">http://chronicle.com/stats/productivity/page.php?primary=5&secondary=51&bycat=Go</a></p>
<p>And overall, I think Duke and Hopkins are virtually equivalent for name-recognition in Engineering. Hopkins more so for BME and Environmental. Otherwise, pretty much the same.</p>
<p>ChemBE duh</p>
<p>Is Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at JHU reputable ?</p>
<p>JHU's engineering is better than Duke. It's also more comprehensive as Duke's engineering has only 4 depts.</p>
<p>Your moniker should be "uninformed teenager"</p>
<p>I'll think about changing it.</p>
<p>It's not well placed in the rankings and in my head JHU is "The Med School"....so I asked.</p>
<p>Hopkins ChemBE is ranked something like 18th, which is above Cornell and Penn. I think that's pretty good.</p>
<p>Cool. Also how relevant is "Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index" to Undergraduate education ?</p>
<p>I should probably start a new thread .....</p>
<p>The scholarly production is relevant to undergraduates in that it relates how much and how meaningful the research done by the faculty is. Many students have been secondarily published or involved in some really cool research.</p>
<p>Hopkins MechE is very well known and the students graduating from the program do very well. I currently live with a graduating MechE and he said something like a 1/3 the graduating class are going to top 10 grad schools that will be completely paid for them. The department is small so getting personal attention is easy and finding research is just as easy. Let me know if you want more info, I'll probably be able to get it for you</p>
