DEAN'S MESSAGE
|
On behalf of Drexel's College of Engineering, I'd like to congratulate our 2010 graduates! They have a bright future ahead of them. However, the real work has just begun. Engineering is a dynamic and evolving field that requires constant practice, innovative thought and decisive action. As our graduates join our growing network of engineering alumni, they'll be taking part in engineering's task to solve some of the world's greatest challenges. I have every confidence in our young engineers and their ability to rise to the charge set before them, thanks to their involvement and the time they've spent honing their skills at CoE. Our excellent faculty, attentive staff and active alumni have prepared them well, and will be here to help them along their way. We're proud of them and we wish them well. Congratulations Class of 2010!
