Number 1 For Three Decades

[JHURocks]

<p>

Hopkins maintained its three-decade-long dominance of research and development spending this year, keeping its number one rank in scientific, medical and engineering research expenditures.</p>

<p>Over $1.4 billion were spent on research and development in the year 2005, over $1.27 billion of which was federally funded. </p>

<p>Hopkins tops the National Science Foundation rankings as the only university to cross the $1 billion brink in total research expenditures, followed by the University of Michigan and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which spent $809 million and $798 million respectively. </p>

Follow the money and you will find out why JHU has such a great reputation as a research institution.

<p>Clearly, JHU is the best place for biomedical engineering and most fields in the related areas of engineering (chemical, biomolecular, etc)</p>

<p>To me, it is amazing how much the strength of the BME program has expanded to so many of the other departments in the Whiting School:</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Chemical Engineering has the tremendous Biomolecular program - so good that it is now part of the Department name. The Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering track is fantastic.</p></li>
<li><p>Materials Science has Biomaterials.</p></li>
<li><p>Mechanical Engineering and/or Engineering Mechanics has Biomechanics, with 5 different areas of specialization.</p></li>
<li><p>Computer Science as well as Electrical and Computer Engineering provide the opportunities to pursue bioinformatics, robotics, computer integrated
surgery, natural language and image processing, and other nanotech areas.</p></li>
<li><p>There are even options within Environmental Engineering.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I guess Civil Engineering might be the only department that has yet to reap the benefits of Hopkins strength across all related bioengineering disciplines.</p>

<p>MechE majors are my favorite people here. Not that this is relevant or anything…just wanted to share. :-)</p>
