A number of opportunities exist for dual degrees . Within one program, students can successfully complete the requirements to earn both the BSCE and BSAE degrees. Drexel also offers a bachelor's program in Appropriate Technology , wherein engineers seek to address technical problems in developing countries on a scale appropriate to local customs and economic resources. A degree in appropriate technology can be readily combined with a degree in civil engineering. Minors in business and ecology are very popular, allowing civil engineers to communicate effectively with fellow professionals in those fields.
All students pursue co-op employment.
The quotes below are taken from some recent student reports on their co-op experiences. Designed improvements from the field surveys taken, and developed construction drawings. Worked closely with the work force in implementing these changes. Taught carpentry and masonry skills to inexperienced workers. Solved construction problems as they arose.
