DEAN'S MESSAGE
|
It has been a tremendous start to the academic year. Not only are our beloved Philadelphia Phillies fighting for the World Series title, but with 8 new CAREER Awards and the largest incoming class in Drexel history, CoE is abuzz with new developments. Our congratulations go to Dr. Moshe Kam, 2010 President-Elect of IEEE. In addition, our congratulations go to our Formula Hybrid Team, who placed third in the International Formula Electric and Hybrid Competition. I'm continually impressed with the dedication, heart and unbounded enthusiasm exemplified in our college and our Phillies! CoE is filled with pride for our college and our city. Go Phillies! Go Dragons!

EWB Journeys to Jamaica for Bridge Projects
|
Drexel's chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) traveled to Middleton, Jamaica in September to redesign and rebuild a series of footbridges that were damaged after Hurricane Gustav in 2008. EWB is working on the redesign, identifying the current damaged and destroyed footbridges and planning the reconstruction of new bridges. The Jamaica project is in addition to EWB's Miramar water project. For more information on EWB and the Jamaica project, please click here.
