Drexel University's Electrical Engineering program provides the balance of technical breadth and depth to emerge as flexible and skilled engineers ready for the many options for a career in industries ranging from lasers and photonics to machine learning and bioinformatics. Students may choose from several areas of study, including electronics, power and systems control, telecommunications and digital signal processing or a general study or electrical engineering. Students pursue their personal interests and emerge prepared for the challenges facing 21st-century engineers working in a global economy.
The Industrial Mechanic program prepares students for employment in industrial mechanics. This program teaches skills required for troubleshooting, maintenance and repair of mechanical systems.
Designed to help participants understand backflow and recognize cross-connections, this course places special emphasis on preparing individuals to test, inspect, and provide in-line maintenance of reduced pressure principle backflow prevention devices, double check valve assemblies, and pressure vacuum breakers. The course is for plumbing, mechanical, and fire suppression contractors, city building and plumbing officials, public utilities inspectors, water and wastewater personnel, health department officials, and engineers.**Please note: This class satisfies the minimum 16-hour education requirement to “sit” for the state exam, to accompany the minimum 7 years of work experience “in a water distribution system” requirement (to be verified by the applicant’s employer).
Job Corps’ Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills like how to apply paint, stain and coatings to walls and ceilings, buildings, bridges or other items such as cars, jewelry and ceramics, use machinery to apply the paints or use scaffolding and raise ladders, fill holes and cracks with plaster and putty, and utilize simple math to calculate dimensions. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from organizations such as the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and certifications in construction safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

This program prepares students for transfer, as juniors, into baccalaureate engineering programs, including civil, mechanical, chemical, electrical, aerospace, petroleum, industrial, and nuclear engineering. Two High School Mathematics Courses or their equivalent, and one year of a laboratory science are required. Chemistry and Physics are recommended.
The mechatronics technology certificate is designed to address basic competency in skills needed for employment in today's complex manufacturing environments. These classes all apply to the mechatronics associate degree. The program is not directly aimed at specific products. With the multiplicity of equipment presently in use and the rapid advance and change in technology, the department stresses the development of a broad background that will enable students to find employment and be able to further their skills in a diversified number of industries.
The program prepares graduates to work in an engineering environment and to assist with the design, development, testing, programming, installation, and maintenance of electro-mechanical systems.
The quality assurance short-term technical certificate is designed to provide students with the knowledge and applied skills necessary for an entry-level employment in a manufacturing-related business or industry as a quality inspector, production process control or gauge control technician, or quality corrective action analyst.
The Robotics and Automation Technology program provides an introduction to industrial robotics and explains how they are used in automated systems. The primary focus of the program is on automated processes, the role of robots within those processes and all related support equipment. Successful completer of this program will have an advanced understanding of robot operations, programming, material handling techniques and technical system components.
Students will learn to program Programable Logic Controllers (PLC's), communicate between PLC's and robots, set up HMI's (human machine interface) to control and monitor the process, and even explore new advancements in Smart Factory environments such as machine learning and AI.
The CAD Operator Short Term Certificate (STC) Program prepares students to work as computer-aided drafters/designers in industry and to upgrade the skills of individuals presently employed as drafters in a relatively short academic period by including only CADD and supporting courses. Course work completed in the CAD certificate program is fully applicable to the Engineering Graphics Associate of Applied Science degree. This certificate option prepares students for entry-level positions as AutoCAD operators, technicians, and detailers.
