The Whiting School of Engineering is the engineering school of the Johns Hopkins University, a private research university in Baltimore, Maryland.
History
The engineering department at Johns Hopkins was originally created in 1913 as an educational program that included exposure to liberal arts and scientific inquiry.[4] In 1919, the engineering department became a separate school, known as the School of Engineering. By 1937, over 1,000 students had graduated with engineering degrees. By 1946 the school had six departments.
In 1961, the School of Engineering was renamed the School of Engineering Sciences. Five years later, in 1966, it merged with the Faculty of Philosophy to become part of the School of Arts and Sciences. In 1979, the engineering programs were reorganized into a separate academic division, named the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering in honor of George William Carlyle Whiting, co-founder of The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.
