Another rewarding year has come to an end for CoE. Our faculty and staff have remained committed to our tradition of excellence by preparing our students to become responsible global citizens and leaders. CoE is also excited to welcome back alumnus and astronaut Chris Ferguson. We congratulate Chris on his second successful mission to space. The Drexel community looks forward to hearing his first-hand experience of the STS-126 mission during our upcoming Engineers Week, February 16-20. We look forward to another exciting year ahead. Best wishes for the holiday season and a prosperous new year!
