Johns Hopkins University – Applied Physics Laboratory Commuter Details  

Explore Engineering Innovation classes will be held in the Kossiakoff Center.

Please note that due to the nature of the facility, closed circuit cameras are used in the classroom and common areas of the APL campus.  

Your instructors receive JHU faculty appointments to teach your course. They typically have a PhD and teach college-level courses. Local high school teachers or university graduate students also assist with the classes serving as teaching fellows.  

Your class will have between 18 and 24 students, with whom you will work closely in teams of up to four to complete engineering projects. Each course has a 12:1 or fewer student-teacher ratio. 

You will have access to the JHU Sheridan Libraries online resources.
