DEAN'S MESSAGE
|
These next few weeks are a testing time for students, faculty and professional staff. Students are spending their last weeks preparing for finals, faculty are grading and providing final exams while our professional staff are preparing for the summer programs and the academic year ahead. My thoughts and support are with each of you as we make it to the homestretch. To our students, keep studying hard. It'll pay off in the long haul. The skills you learn in the classroom will help you shape your future careers. Faculty and professional staff, thank you for preparing our students to become future leaders in engineering. You're helping to pave the path to our student's achievements. We've had great success this academic year and we will continue to in the months ahead. We're all striving for the same goal-excellence. We'll reach this goal together. Best of luck in completing the academic year and we look forward to the triumphs that are to come in CoE.
Dr. Bruce Eisenstein

Drexel Tests National Teams in Underwater Robotics Challenge
| |
 CoE hosted middle, high school and community college students in the 2011 National Sea Perch Challenge - an underwater robotics competition. A few weeks ago, Drexel hosted the regional competition. Teams navigated their underwater robots, called sea perches, by remote control, in the Drexel Recreation Center pool. Sea perches, which measure 1 foot in length, width and height and are made of plastic tubes and flotation orbs, propellers and sensors, must be maneuvered through rings and recover weighted objects, carrying them to collection buckets.
