About

Design projects are a vital part of undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins Engineering. From day one, our students dive into solving real-world challenges through hands-on, multidisciplinary learning experiences. 

Serving faculty, students, and internal and external partners the Design Center unites and provides resources for project-based learning.  

It is the school’s nexus for design activities and supports academic department in achieving their educational mission and curricular objectives through project-based and design education, and students in their engineering design activities, design-based extracurricular groups, and more.  

As the hub for undergraduate engineering design, the center also coordinates school-wide events and offerings including JHU Design Day and strengthens and grows design-focused partnerships.  

Among the areas it supports are: 

  • Engineering courses with project-based curricula  
  • Extra-curricular student organizations focused on hands-on design projects [link to engineering student groups]
  • Training in design tools, prototyping techniques, testing methods, and equipment 
  • Partnerships with community and industry through events, collaborations, and sponsorships
