In 2019, with the goal of reinventing civil engineering at a national scale, the Department of Civil Engineering at Johns Hopkins University was renamed the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering.
What’s the same?
The department remains dedicated to providing a high-quality, comprehensive education in which leading research in the areas of mechanics of materials, structures, and systems is cross-fertilized with research from other fields.
What’s different?
What impact will these changes have?
As the first program of its kind, the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering will not only set a new national standard for the field of civil engineering, but will also provide students with a highly collaborative degree program, expand faculty funding and project opportunities, and increase the potential for partnerships both within and outside the university.
