The JHU + Amazon Initiative for Interactive AI
A new collaboration will advance machine learning, computer vision, natural language understanding, and speech processing while increasing access to these technologies.
Connect. Collaborate. Innovate.
Partner with us to leverage Hopkins Engineering talent and resources to bring your ideas to life, and provide your team with training opportunities that ensure your competitive edge in the marketplace.
Doctor of Engineering
The D.Eng program is a collaboration between a professional engineer and a participating employer. The program centers on a research project of immediate importance to the student’s company or agency, so there is a direct, applied benefit to the employer.
Research & Development Opportunities
Explore new R&D opportunities with Hopkins Engineering’s 200+ faculty members, our 22 on-site research centers, and dozens of international partner institutions. Enlist our talented and driven students to solve your real-world business challenges by sponsoring design capstone projects.
Educational and Student Engagement Opportunities
We offer professional development for companies of all sizes, including on-site workshops, self-paced courses, and customized for-credit programs. You can also provide learning opportunities to our students—your potential employees—through internships.
Translation and Technology Opportunities
Hopkins Engineering contributes significantly to the overall innovative ecosystem at JHU. Through our Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design and Institute for NanoBioTechnology, among many other efforts, we are advancing emerging technologies to the marketplace.
“The Commercialization Academy taught me not only how crucial translation is to the creation of an impactful technology, but also what … is necessary for inventions to actually reach patients. ”

Talent Pipeline: Invest in Hopkins Engineers
Bringing the best and brightest to you. Our Life Design Lab connects undergraduate and graduate students with internship and career opportunities.
Partnerships in Action
Robotics and Precision in Optical Procedures - Jin Kang, a professor of electrical and computer engineering who is internationally renowned for his work with fiber optic sensors, developed a handheld microinjector to translate retinal cells — aided by a grant from the Cohen Translational Engineering Fund.
Design Day Showcases Student Innovation - At our annual Engineering Design Day, Hopkins Engineering students showcase their senior design projects and prototypes, give demonstrations, and pitch ideas. Many of these projects are made possible through collaborations with our industry partners.
Fellowship for an Emerging Field - Computational medicine is an emerging area of biomedical engineering. United Therapeutics is providing a recent Ph.D. graduate a fellowship—with full funding and an annual salary—to make advances in lung disease modeling.
Agents of Change: Corporate Philanthropy Partners
Become part of a vibrant community of discovery as you strengthen our long-standing tradition of philanthropy. There are many ways you can support our students and inspire innovation, including:
Ideas and companies are born at JHU. As of 2020, the university’s 160+ startups have created hundreds of positions and raised more than $2.3 billion. Hopkins Engineering startups include:
- EtCH – energy research
- Galen Robotics – surgical robotics
- LifeSprout – tissue reconstruction
You can also sponsor or become a mentor for JHU’s FastForward Program, a business accelerator that offers a suite of resources to help bring ideas from the startup to market.
We’re proud to be one of a handful of universities that are “need-blind,” meaning a student’s ability to pay is not considered as part of the admissions process.
Scholarships and fellowships make Hopkins Engineering education possible for students of all backgrounds. When you partner with us in this way, you receive:
- Enhanced access to top technical talent
- Greater opportunities to collaborate with faculty members and student teams
- Higher visibility of your company and its culture
Flexible funding mechanisms include gifts and contracts.
JHU and Hopkins Engineering is always abuzz with activities at our campus, innovation hubs, and field offices, as well as in the community. Our industry partners make educational events like these, and more, possible:
- Symposiums
- Lectures
- Hackathons/Designations
- Community outreach
- Engineering student group initiatives
