Johns Hopkins Engineering Centennial Celebration
Share your story
This year the Whiting School of Engineering begins our celebration of 100 years of engineering at Johns Hopkins. In 1912, the Maryland State Legislature appropriated $600,000 to the university to establish a school or department of applied science and advanced technology. By 1913, the first engineering class matriculated, and the newly built Maryland Hall welcomed its first classes the next year. In 1915, the first Johns Hopkins engineers graduated from the university.
