Drexel Engineering Mission
Our mission is to cultivate technically and theoretically trained adaptable engineers who are dedicated to discovery and the application of technology, and who understand the global, social and ethical implications of creating sustainable solutions to societal challenges. We will achieve this through the production of robust research and the meaningful integration of emerging engineering approaches and innovations across digital, human and physical platforms.
Our Vision
As the cornerstone of Drexel University, we will reimagine the continuum of engineering research, education and practice—strengthening and integrating all three through strategic collaborations with industry, government and non-profit partners—to foster long-term sustainability and the cultivation of engineering talent across diverse local and global communities.
