About the Program

The major in Business and Engineering combines two of Drexel's most exciting programs, linking business and engineering to provide students with expertise in both fields.

The program curriculum combines coursework in business and engineering, enabling graduates to work successfully in technically oriented business positions. Students complete a set of broad functional business core courses along with a firm foundation in science, mathematics, and engineering. Students also study quantitative decision-making within a business context, technology innovation management, and operations management. They complete a minor in business as well as a concentration in engineering. Graduates of this program will be well prepared to participate in innovative technological efforts in business.

Mission

The Bachelor of Science in Business and Engineering program provides students the opportunity to:

  • Learn important concepts in functional business areas such as accounting, economics, finance, information systems, law, marketing, organizational behavior, operations, and statistics
  • Study in more depth the areas of operations, technology innovation management, and other functional business areas
  • Complete a course of study in an engineering discipline after completing a firm foundation in science and mathematics
  • Develop skills in technical communication and critical reasoning
  • Study ethical issues faced by managers and engineers and understand technology from a historical perspective
  • Apply acquired skills in co-op work experiences to further enhance their knowledge base
  • Study entrepreneurship from a management and finance perspective for preparation in innovative technological efforts
  • Learn to improve the functioning of technically oriented businesses through operational competencies

About the Business Minors

All Business and Engineering students are required to complete a business minor as part of the curriculum. See the list of minors that are currently offered by the LeBow College of Business. The minor in Business Administration cannot be chosen due to overlap with required courses in the Business and Engineering curriculum.

About the Engineering Concentrations

All Business and Engineering students are required to complete an engineering concentration as part of the curriculum. The following engineering concentrations are available:

  • Biomedical Engineering Concentration
  • Chemical Engineering Concentration

Writing-Intensive Course Requirements

In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.

A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List at the University Writing Program. Students scheduling their courses can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term.
