Drexel Engineering academics are centered on the principle of engineering change. That means we are focused on getting you ready to make an impact in the world, and in your career. Our undergraduate majors, minors and concentrations offer many unique paths to finding your passion. Combined with co-op and a multitude of research opportunities, our students leave prepared to hit the ground running as capable, empowered and confident engineers.
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering major is an interdisciplinary engineering major for students who do not intend to be practicing engineers. Students in the Bachelor of Science in Engineering major combine a rigorous engineering education in the College of Engineering with interdisciplinary studies in fields outside of engineering such as law, medicine, business, entrepreneurship, teaching, international studies, public policy, music, art, environmental studies, and more. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering major provides a strong grounding in the foundations of engineering, in quantitative skills, and in the analytic processes that engineers use in design of practical technology.
Program Objectives
The key objectives of the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program are to provide the student with:
A strong foundation in science and mathematics
A foundation of the fundamentals of engineering as a discipline
A strong grounding in a second cognate area (either technical, pre-professional, cultural, global, or another area worked out between the student and their advisor)
An integrating experience that ties the technical and the cognate areas together. Examples of such experiences may be, but are not limited to, research projects, capstone designs, a public service assignment, etc.
