About Us
Overview
The Johns Hopkins University Department of Civil Engineering offers programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels. Focal research areas in the Department include structural engineering, structural mechanics, coastal engineering, fluid mechanics, probabilistic methods, hazards management, geotechnical engineering, and geomechanics.
The small size of the CE Department fosters a collegial, close-knit relationship between the students, staff, and faculty, while our partnerships with the Departments of Geography & Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Applied Mathematics & Statistics, Public Health, and other John Hopkins groups provide a wide range of opportunities that rivals those of much larger programs.
We hope the information provided on this webpage will be helpful to you as you explore the JHU CE program.
Distortional buckling of a pair of cold-formed steel beams is modeled and tested to better understand fundamental behavior, and improve the safety and reliability of building codes. Learn more about Professor Schafer's research:
