<p>Does anybody know how strong JHU's other engineering programs are?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>That depends on the program</p>
<p>In general, they are all pretty good, but specifically what program are you looking at?</p>
<p>how about chemE</p>
<p>ChemE here rocks. Prepare to work hard though.</p>
<p>i was thinking about EE</p>
<p>How is the CivE department at Hopkins?</p>
<p>How is the job placement of Hopkins graduates after undergrad engineering?</p>
<p>Do most students go right into workforce, or to more education?</p>
<p>Is the engineering courseload confining / is it flexible enough to allow for several interests?</p>
<p>How are the professors and other students?</p>
<p>I unfortunately don't know enough about the EE department to really give an accurate opinion of it, sorry</p>
<p>As for ChemE, the department is very difficult and quite competitive. From what I gather the Profs. are in general very good and there are a TON of research opportunities.</p>
<p>My personal experience with the CivE department has been quite poor. By far the 3 worst engineering Profs. that I have had at Hopkins were CivE. The classes were painstaking to sit through and I really didn't feel like I learned much. On the plus side, the department is tiny but that also means there is a lack of breadth in undergraduate electives.</p>
<p>According to a Professor in the MechE department industry does not as look highly on Hopkins graduates as one would initially think, making it very practical to continue your graduate work elsewhere. I would tend to agree with this assessment of job opportunities for undergraduate being limited. I mentioned in another post that I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of opportunities offered through the Career Center at Hopkins but that may stem from the fact that industry does not look highly on Hopkins graduates, a fact that would further support that Professors remarks.</p>
<p>Any engineering curriculum is quite rigorous and does not allow for too much flexibility in exploring other interests but that does not mean its possible. It really depends on exactly what your interests are in and exactly how in depth you want to get with it. A minor in another subject is quite possible, so if that is all you are looking for in can happen in most cases.</p>
