The College of Engineering
Since its founding in the midst of the industrial revolution in 1891,
Drexel University has emphasized its strengths in engineering, science
and technology to train men and women to become leaders. In little
over a century, Drexel University has transformed itself into a large,
comprehensive institution committed to excellence in education, research
and service to the engineering society and to the broader community.
Although much has changed, the original mission of the university still
rings true today.
The profession
of engineering is concerned with turning the natural elements and energies
to the service of mankind. The objectives
of the undergraduate program in the College of Engineering are:
- To offer an education
that will give graduates the flexibility to adjust to future changes
in technology
- To develop a sense
of professionalism
- To provide a framework
for concentrated study in a professional area
To implement those objectives
the curricula of the College of Engineering are designed to provide a
firm grounding in basic science and liberal arts, along with broad-based
engineering sciences and professional engineering subjects.
