First, a message from Marge and Homer Simpson on education.
Marge (to Homer): "Homie, you could take an adult education course."
Homer: "Oh, and how is 'education' supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course and I forgot how to drive?"
Unlike our friend Homer, you and I recognize the fact that we have the ability to learn new concepts and understand novel ideas. Research confirms, however, that we use only a small portion of our brain's capacity for intellectual growth and tend to underestimate its potential.
As mechanical engineers-in-training, you are now part of a network of dynamic problem solvers who make the most of their intellectual and creative talents to better understand the physical world. As you successfully proceed through the mechanical engineering curriculum, this understanding will ultimately guide you toward solutions to real-world problems.
I hope this website enhances your Drexel experience and assists you in navigating through the curriculum. Ultimately, our goals are the same...your success as a student, an engineer and an individual with a remarkable potential for growth.
Regards,
K.E. Murphy
