During the two terms of the sophomoreyear, students begin taking department specific coursework.The first five terms are devoted to those subjects that form the foundationof the engineering curriculum. Courses in the core engineering curriculumare organized and taught to provide an integrated view of the basicsciences and an introduction to the art of engineering through groupprojects that deal with open-ended problems characteristic of the practiceof engineering. Students also learn to use the modern tools of engineeringboth on the computer and in the laboratory.The college considers it essential that students entering the DrexelEngineering Curriculum be placed in courses that take advantage oftheir abilities and prior training. Student preparation level is determinedby a review committee that evaluates the student’s high school record,standardized test scores, and placement tests administered duringfreshman orientation.Students who demonstrate the preparation and skills to succeed in ourintegrated engineering calculus course immediately will be placed instarting in the fall term. Students who are not prepared for this sequencemay participate in a special "pre-engineering" program before the fallterm. These students may also have a modified fall schedule and mayneed summer school during the following summer.In the second year, two professional subjects are introduced, and allthe first-level professional courses are completed by the junior year.The senior year in all curricula contains at least one elective sequenceso that students can study some aspect of engineering more deeply.In addition, all curricula provide a design experience in the senior year.Recognizing the importance of general education studies in the educationof an engineer, all curricula require that courses be taken in this area.These requirements are described in more detail in the General EducationRequirements (p. 4).The Common CurriculumUniversity RequirementsUNIV E101The Drexel Experience2.0Foundation RequirementsMATH 121Calculus I4.0MATH 122Calculus II4.0MATH 200Multivariate Calculus4.0PHYS 101Fundamentals of Physics I4.0PHYS 102Fundamentals of Physics II4.0PHYS 201Fundamentals of Physics III4.0CHEM 101General Chemistry I3.5CHEM 102General Chemistry II4.5BIO 141Essential Biology4.5CS 121Computation Laboratory I1.0CS 122Computation Laboratory II1.0CS 123Computation Laboratory III1.0ENGR 100Beginning Computer Aided Drafting for Design1.0ENGR 101Engineering Design Laboratory I2.0In addition, engineering students complete ten (10) General EducationRequirements ).ElectivesIn addition to the electives in the General Education electives thereare two types of elective sequences in the engineering curricula:technical electives and free electives.Technical electives are coursesin engineering, science, or management that build on the requiredprofessional courses and lead to a specific technical specialization.Possible elective sequences should be discussed with and approved byadvisors before the end of the junior year.Free electives are any coursesfor which students are eligible and that are not remedial in nature forengineering students.Withdrawal from the College of EngineeringIt is the policy of the College of Engineering that an engineering studentwho withdraws from the University cannot petition for readmission to theCollege of Engineering until at least one complete term has elapsed.General Education RequirementsThe General Education program is designed to give engineeringstudents an opportunity to take a set of courses that complement theirtechnical studies and satisfy their intellectual and/or career interests. Allengineering majors must take ten (10) courses. Three of the ten coursesare designated as follows and must be completed by all majors:ENGL 101Expository Writing and Reading3.0ENGL 102Persuasive Writing and Reading3.0ENGL 103Analytical Writing and Reading3.0The remaining seven (7) General Education course requirements arenot designated and can be chosen from the disciplines listed below. Anycourse of three credits or more selected from the categories below meetsthis requirement, except as noted.Course SubjectsThis following list is a sampling of subject codes for courses that can betaken to fulfill General Education program requirements; other coursesmay be accepted upon advisor approval.Accounting (ACCT), Africana Studies (AFAS), Anthropology (ANTH),Arabic (ARBC), Architecture (ARCH), Art History (ARTH), Business Law(BLAW), General Business (BUSN), Chinese (CHIN), Communication(COM), Criminal Justice (CJ), Culinary Arts (CULA), Customer Operations(CUST), Dance (DANC), Economics (ECON), English (ENGL, except 101,102, 103 & 105), Entertainment & Arts Management (EAM), Education(EDUC), Film Studies (FMST), Finance (FIN), French (FREN), German(GER), Greek, (GREC), History (HIST), Hotel & Restaurant Management(HRM), Humanities (HUM, except 106, 107, & 108), International Area

The three-course ARCH 141–ARCH 143 (Architectureand Society) sequence, offered through the Antoinette Westphal Collegeof Media Arts and Design, is required of all architectural engineeringstudents.Some engineering majors require a study in basic economic principles,the history of the engineering profession and its impact on modernsociety, and ethical standards required for the practice of the profession.Check curriculum guidelines for requirements. Any required economics,history or ethics courses will replace general education requirements on acourse-for-course basis.General Education electives must be non-technical. All computer, math,engineering and science related courses will NOT count as GeneralEducation electives.Exceptions: This policy regarding General Education requirements appliesto all College of Engineering programs with the exception of the BS inComputer Science and the BS in Software Engineering.Special ProgramsAccelerated Programs/ Bachelor’s/Master’sDual Degree ProgramThe Accelerated Program of the College of Engineering providesopportunities for highly talented and strongly motivated studentsto progress toward their educational goals essentially at their ownpace. Primarily through advanced placement, credit by examination,flexibility of scheduling, and independent study, the program makes itpossible to complete the undergraduate curriculum and initiate graduatestudy in less than the five years required by the standard curriculum.Students enrolled in this program may take advantage of the five-yearBachelor’s/Master’s Dual Degree Program described on the Collegeof Engineering’s Accelerated: BS /MS (http://drexel.edu/engineering/programs/special opp) web page.Lincoln University/Drexel 3-3 PlanDrexel participates in a program with Lincoln University under whicha student may attend Lincoln University for three years, taking liberalarts subjects and pre-engineering courses in mathematics, science, andrelated areas; transfer
