Johns Hopkins Connection

APL provides critical support to the part-time and online graduate programs offered through Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals.

In spring 2022, JHU announced the creation of SURPASS, a joint multimillion-dollar collaboration initiative with the Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) and APL to foster continued collaboration between engineers and scientists for groundbreaking, life-improving innovation. This open-call proposal program leverages WSE’s and APL’s unique technical strengths and research and development communities. The initiative supports cross-divisional teams dedicated to using innovative, multidisciplinary approaches to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems. In the first cycle, SURPASS invested over $3.7 million to fund four projects for 18 months of research. Leadership awarded projects they felt would make great inroads in establishing JHU as pioneers in these fields and could lead to $100 million in external support. SURPASS seeks to boldly reimagine what is possible with streamlined collaboration across JHU, through mission-driven research and breaking down barriers.

APL is connecting with Johns Hopkins divisions, departments, and partners in a common pursuit of space research. Space@Hopkins highlights the wide scope of JHU’s space-related activities to foster collaboration among university-affiliated researchers and provide access to new partnerships. Focusing on eight initial research fields, including heliophysics, planetary science, and spacecraft engineering, the work features collaborations with affiliates such as the Space Telescope Science Institute and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.

The RISE@APL program is for Johns Hopkins University students majoring in engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or physics who want to better prepare for a technical career. As a part of RISE@APL, you’ll work alongside experts in your field, focus on professional development, and make critical contributions to our mission.
