Drexel Engineering will be participating in Philly Tech Week 2013, a week-long celebration of technology and innovation in Philadelphia. The annual week of events is intended to grow the impact of the innovative region through programming focused on technology, collaboration and improving Philadelphia. To learn more about the events Drexel will be participating in, please visit the Philly Tech Week website. 

Experience the science behind the music in this unique performance augmented with large-screen visuals and an interactive iPhone App illustrating the principles of frequency, harmony, and acoustics. Acclaimed keyboardist Marc Cary leads his Focus Trio along with featured soloist and Grammy-Award winning percussionist Will Calhoun and other special guests in a tour de force of virtuoso jazz. The event, visuals, and app are produced by Drexel University's ExCITe Center. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased via http://ph.ly/ScienceOfJazz. 

During Philly Tech Week, play a large-scale Pong game on the Cira Centre's north-facing wall that rises 401-feet over 30th Street Station. A select number of guests will be able to battle it out with arcade-style controllers during this game of epic proportions. This event is free and open to the public. 

What if we told you there is an untapped, local audience for your latest and greatest mobile app? The digitally under-served (read: people who have the mobile access, but may not know of existing tools) are an important and unrealized group here in Philadelphia. This proposed "mash up" will bring together developers, entrepreneurs, data gurus, digital literacy trainers, and technology newbies for a dynamic roundtable discussion.

Cheer on the Phillies as you explore the science of sports! How does physics affect a pitch and what type of throw is scientifically the hardest to hit? Before and during the game, visit a dozen hands-on activity stations throughout the concourse and outside on Citizens Bank Way. For more information, visit www.phillies.com/science. 

Every year, the UMBC Game Developers Club organizes a Digital Entertainment Conference (DEC) with a day of games industry veterans speaking on a variety of topics. The DEC is free, open to anyone, and features speakers from Firaxis Games, Zenimax, Pure Bang Games, Bioware Mythic, and Mindgrub. View the schedule and more information here.

Drexel Game Developers Group (DGDG) welcomes members and guests to Board Game Night. Bring a board game you love to play, or just play one of the many that we will provide. Along with this, we encourage anyone with a game they have made themselves, video or board, to playtest it with other members. Nothing better than getting feedback from a fresh perspective. 

As you enter your pre-junior year, you will start being advised by the Computer Science Department advisor, Andrea Negro. Each CS and SE (CoE) student must meet with the advisor at least once throughout their undergraduate time here. Please email amn27@drexel.edu to set up a meeting.

If you are a junior or senior and have not met with Andrea yet, contact her for an appointment as soon as possible. Students that are on co-op can wait until they return in the Fall. Additional advising information can be found here. 

The Cyber Learrning Center (CLC) provides consulting and other learning resources for students taking computer science classes. It's staffed by graduate and undergraduate students employed by the CS Department. Students can receive help during office hours (drop-in or by appointment). Services include review sessions for exams, small group study sessions, homework/lab help, and a mini-library.
