Hometown: Valhalla, New York Majors: Chemical Engineering Class Year: 2024
“I always enjoyed solving problems, and I think engineering as a major teaches you how to solve really complex problems.”
Meet these and other Drexel Engineering students.
Aidan Cotton's lab experience in the Drexel Nanomaterials Institute lead to a co-op in Germany through the DAAD Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE) program.
Civil engineering seemed like the right path until Mika Rappaport's first co-op opened her eyes to broader possibilities. Her second placement at Boeing revealed an aerospace calling she never expected.
Six teams of engineering and business students joined forces to solve a real-world aerospace manufacturing challenge, balancing two active Boeing contracts without disrupting production for either customer.
