History

File:Maryland Hall, Johns Hopkins University, Jan 2011.jpg
Originally known as the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering building, Maryland Hall was renamed in 1931 to recognize the Maryland General Assembly's role in establishing the School of Engineering.[1]

The engineering department at Johns Hopkins was originally created in 1913 as an educational program that included exposure to liberal arts and scientific inquiry.[2] 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.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

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.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
