tDEC

The 2006 edition of U.S. News ranks the undergraduate engineering program #57 in the country and the 2007 edition of graduate schools ranks the graduate program #61. USNews & World Report is an influential weekly American Newsmagazine published in Washington D

The engineering curriculum used by the school was originally called E4 (Enhanced Educational Experience for Engineers) which was established in 1986[1] and funded in part by the Engineering Directorate of the National Science Foundation. The National Science Foundation (NSF is a United States Government agency that supports fundamental Research and Education in all the non-medical [2] In 1988 the program evolved into tDEC (the Drexel Engineering Curriculum)[2] which is composed of two full years of rigorous core engineering courses which encompass the freshman and sophomore years of the engineering student. Originally designed to increase retention rates and promote interest in engineering tDEC has since its inception, become known for the exact opposite of its originally intended goal. The program became the governing cause of dropouts in the engineering program with approximately 67% of students dropping out of tDEC to pursue other degrees.

tDEC is in the process of being reorganized beginning with the freshman class of 2006. This is due to the programs inflexibility and because the program is not designed to have the increase in class size that Drexel has experienced since the programs inception. [1]
