- New! Class of 2011 Faculty Adviser Assignments
- Freshman Planner
The essentials of academic advising, Advanced Placement, GCE and IB exam information, degree requirements....all the nitty-gritty plus a handy 2007-08 week-by-week calendar with important deadlines and dates. We've also included lots of campus events so you can be thinking about the fun things you'll do here in addition to your studies.
- Engineering 101
This is an introduction to the engineering programs at Hopkins. It provides recommended course schedules for your first two semesters, and is designed to be used in tandem with the Freshman Planner. You can also learn about the many student groups available to enhance your academic experience in engineering.
- Important Forms
This section includes some REQUIRED as well as optional forms for you to complete. Not all of these forms were mailed to you, so it is very important that you view the list of forms and complete any that apply to you.
- Fall 2007 Schedule of Classes
For the most up-to-date information, you should use the on-line course schedule by linking to the desired department rather than the Course Book pdf (there have been many changes since the course book was published in April).
- Facebook Group: JHU Incoming Class of 2011
Join our new Facebook group for incoming students! This online community provides you with a forum to ask questions of current students and staff and provides updates from campus offices and advice to help you prepare for your freshman year.
Blair Johnson, Civil Engineering, '08
"Growing up I was always interested in bridge and super structures shows and I knew I wanted to be a civil engineer," says Blair Johnson, a junior in the Department of Civil Engineering. "Now I’m focusing on coastal engineering in the lab of Professor Tony Dalrymple, studying ground conditions under seas and the way waves move over mud." The long term application of such research is of interest to the military, which could use satellite imagery to examine the wave behavior on the surface of water. Depending on the behavior of the wave, engineers could determine the ground conditions below and, hopefully, detect mines on the coasts of other countries.
