About the Program
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering major designed for students who seek to combine a strong engineering foundation with studies in complementary disciplines and professional interests. Students in the program integrate a rigorous engineering education in Drexel’s School of Engineering with coursework and experiences in areas such as business, entrepreneurship, medicine, law, public policy, education, international studies, environmental studies, the arts, and more.
The program provides students with a strong grounding in the fundamentals of engineering, quantitative reasoning, and the analytical and design processes engineers use to solve complex real-world problems. Through its flexible and interdisciplinary structure, the Bachelor of Science in Engineering major enables students to tailor their education to align with their academic interests and career goals.
Drexel’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering program was developed to provide students with educational and professional opportunities that extend beyond the traditional boundaries of engineering disciplines.

Program Learning Outcomes
- A strong foundation in science and mathematics
- A foundation of the fundamentals of engineering as a discipline
- A strong grounding in a second cognate area (either technical, pre-professional, cultural, global, or another area worked out between the student and their advisor)
- An integrating experience that ties the technical and the cognate areas together. Examples of such experiences may be, but are not limited to, research projects, capstone designs, a public service assignment, etc.
