Prospective Students
The scope of professional activities of the modern civil engineer is very broad. The design of structures, waterworks and other civil facilities remains the main thrust of civil engineering, but today the civil engineer must also address environmental issues and the economic analysis and management of the systems that he or she designs.
The civil engineering program at Johns Hopkins educates intellectual leaders of the profession by instilling in them a fundamental understanding of the mathematical principles of physics and nature that underlie engineering science, a practical appreciation of the challenges of creative engineering design, and a sense of responsibility for professional service.
