Drexel University and Lockheed Martin are working together to nurture the engineering students who show an acuity for leadership. The corporation is partnering with the University’s College of Engineering to create the Lockheed Martin Engineering Leadership Program, a track of courses, activities, mentoring and experiences designed to help students identify and develop their leadership abilities.

Providing Drexel engineering students with the opportunity to develop leadership skills as they progress through their undergraduate curriculum is not only worthwhile but necessary,” said Joseph Hughes, PhD. “These future engineers will be solving tomorrow’s problems. With our partner, Lockheed Martin, we have developed a program that supports students in acquiring a best-practices skill set in leadership that will continually serve them as they progress in their careers.
