GDA-411 . drexel.edu/engineering/areas-of-study/engineering/BSE/)
GDA-413 . Curricular Organization
GDA-415 . Students in the traditional engineering programs study many of the same
GDA-416 . subjects during the three terms in the first year. During the two terms
GDA-417 . of the sophomore year, students begin taking much more departmentspecific
GDA-420 . The first five terms are devoted to those subjects that form the foundation
GDA-421 . of the engineering curriculum. Courses in the core engineering curriculum
GDA-422 . are organized and taught to provide an integrated view of the basic
GDA-423 . sciences and an introduction to the art of engineering through group
GDA-424 . projects that deal with open-ended problems characteristic of the practice
GDA-425 . of engineering. Students also learn to use the modern tools of engineering
GDA-426 . both on the computer and in the laboratory.
GDA-428 . The College considers it essential that students entering the Drexel
GDA-429 . Engineering Curriculum be placed in courses that take advantage of
GDA-430 . their abilities and prior training. Student preparation level is determined
GDA-431 . by a review committee that evaluates the student’s high school record,
GDA-432 . standardized test scores, advanced placement and/or transfer credit, and
GDA-433 . placement exams administered during the summer before Fall enrollment.
GDA-435 . Engineering students will take placement exams which will determine
GDA-436 . their readiness in calculus, physics, and chemistry. Students who
GDA-437 . demonstrate the preparation and skills to succeed in our core math and
GDA-438 . science courses will immediately be placed into the courses starting in
GDA-439 . the fall term. Students that may need additional preparation are strongly
GDA-440 . encouraged to participate in the online prep courses the summer before
GDA-443 . In the second year, professional subjects are introduced, and all the
GDA-444 . first-level professional courses are completed by the junior year. The
GDA-445 . senior year in all curricula contains at least one elective sequence so
GDA-446 . that students can study some aspect of engineering more deeply. In
GDA-447 . addition, all curricula provide a design experience in the senior year.
GDA-448 . Recognizing the importance of general education studies in the education
GDA-449 . of an engineer, all curricula require that courses be taken in this area.

GDA-3115 . Construction management is a dynamic profession that is a combination of art and science. While an understanding of the technical aspects of
GDA-3116 . construction is extremely important, it is also essential that construction professionals have knowledge of the business and management aspects of the
GDA-3117 . profession. While construction has traditionally been a very conservative industry, the increasing rate of technological development and competition in
GDA-3118 . the industry serves to accelerate the development of new construction methods, equipment, materials, and management techniques. As a result of these
GDA-3119 . forces, there is an increasing need for innovative and professionally competent construction professionals.
GDA-3121 . The Construction Management major prepares students for all phases of operation and management of the construction organization including cost
GDA-3122 . estimating, project scheduling, and planning, in addition to technology courses, sustainability, BIM and Virtual Design and Construction. Students are
GDA-3123 . able to choose from a wide range of subjects in the social sciences and humanities to satisfy electives in the liberal arts and free elective requirements.
GDA-3124 . Pursuing part-time, degree completion on average takes six years.
GDA-3126 . Students in Drexel's Construction Management program receive broad academic, technical, business, and construction management courses that are
GDA-3127 . designed to produce well-rounded construction professionals. Students interested in extending their construction management studies into real estate
GDA-3128 . development should consider the concentration in real estate. This concentration in real estate is designed for students to attain the knowledge and
GDA-3129 . skills required to create and maintain built environments for living, working and entertainment purposes, as well as to explore issues in the real estate
GDA-3130 . development process and the industry as a whole.
GDA-3132 . Program Delivery Options
GDA-3134 . Program delivery options for the Construction Management program include:
GDA-3136 . • A traditional 5-year with co-op

GDA-6873 . Environmental Engineering
GDA-6875 . Major: Environmental Engineering
GDA-6876 . Degree Awarded: Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering (BSENE)
GDA-6877 . Calendar Type: Quarter
GDA-6878 . Total Credit Hours: 191.5
GDA-6879 . Co-op Options: Three Co-op (Five years); One Co-op (Four years)

GDA-6885 . Environmental engineering is concerned with the design of systems, policies and processes to protect human, animal, and plant populations from the
GDA-6886 . effects of adverse environmental factors, including toxic chemicals and wastes, pathogenic bacteria, and global warming, and to design systems that
GDA-6887 . enable a more sustainable society.
GDA-6889 . Environmental engineers design systems, processes and policies to minimize the effect of human activities on the physical and living environment
GDA-6890 . so that we can all live more healthy and sustainable lives. Environmental engineers work to meet human needs for resources in ways to minimize
GDA-6891 . impact on the ecosystem and adverse effects on health. This field builds on other branches of engineering, especially civil, chemical, and mechanical
GDA-6892 . engineering. It also builds on information from many of the sciences, such as chemistry, physics, hydrology, geology, atmospheric science, and several
GDA-6893 . specializations of biology (ecology, microbiology, and biochemistry). Students who elect to study environmental engineering will become familiar
GDA-6894 . with many of these areas because maintaining and improving the environment requires that problems be evaluated and solutions found using a
GDA-6895 . multidisciplinary approach.
GDA-6899 . The mission of the undergraduate environmental engineering program at Drexel University is to graduate outstanding engineers who can identify,
GDA-6900 . evaluate and solve complex environmental problems, and who desire to continue their education on a lifelong basis.
GDA-6902 . Program Educational Objectives
GDA-6904 . Environmental engineering graduates will become professionals who analyze, design, construct, manage or operate facilities or systems to protect or
GDA-6905 . enhance the environment of people and other living things, or advance knowledge of the field.
GDA-6909 . The department’s student outcomes reflect the skills and abilities that the curriculum is designed to provide to students by the time they graduate. These
GDA-6912 . 1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
GDA-6915 . 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well
GDA-6916 . as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
GDA-6919 . 3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
GDA-6922 . 4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the
GDA-6923 . impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
GDA-6926 . 5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish
GDA-6927 . goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
GDA-6930 . 6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
GDA-6933 . 7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
