APPLIED ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMs CURRICULUM

Vladimir Genis; Gerry Merekova

Drexel University is the leading institution of higher education in the Delaware Valley and Greater Philadelphia region that offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Applied Engineering Technology (AET). The AET program was initiated as a response to job- and education-related issues expressed by government, academic institutions and industries across the nation. Since fall of 2002, Drexel has been offering its AET major in collaboration with the Delaware County Community College (DCCC) under a dual model, in which the students can pursue both associate in applied science (A.A.S.) and B.S. degrees concurrently at DCCC facilities. In fall 2004, the AET major became available to the students at Drexel wishing to pursue the B.S. degree on a full- or part-time basis. Starting in the fall of 2006, the AET major became available as a degree completion to New Jersey residents due to a new partnership between Drexel University and Burlington County College (BCC) with both full- and part-time enrollment options. The AET programs content provides an integrated educational experience directed toward developing the ability to apply the fundamental knowledge gained in the Drexels Goodwin College to the solution of practical problems in the engineering technology fields. The programs curriculum, which is comprised of Electrical, Mechanical, and Industrial concentrations, places emphasis on the application of theory rather than on derivations and proofs. The majority of courses are fully integrated with training and laboratory experience and extensive use of software and industrial case studies.
