Dear Colleagues,
Thank you for your support at our Undergraduate Admitted Student Day on Saturday, April 15. This is a critical time in our recruitment calendar and your participation in our events is crucial to making our enrollment goals.
There is still time to help. I encourage you to connect with your Department Head to contribute at our next Undergraduate Admitted Student Day on Sunday, April 23.
In addition, we have a number of upcoming in-person undergraduate recruitment information sessions. Support our efforts by asking your top students to serve as panelists and/or assist with leading engineering facilities tours. Our May information sessions are being held on Friday, May 5 and Thursday, May 25. If you have students that are available, please contact Michele Diehl, Director of Undergraduate Recruitment, at mad527@drexel.edu.
The college has ambitious goals to grow the size of master’s and graduate certificate programs. I urge you to contribute to our initiatives by participating in prospective and accepted student events, and helping us to identify domestic and international academic partners and companies that would be interested in creating pathways for cohorts of students to our graduate program. Please reach out to me if you can help identify such partners.
Again, we very much appreciate your ongoing collaboration in the College’s recruitment activities.
Sincerely,
E. Warren Colehower Chair Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Dean for Enrollment Management and Graduate Education

Richard Cairncross, PhD, professor of chemical and biological engineering, and Ajmal Yousuff, PhD, associate professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics, received an award from the National Space Grant Foundation for their Nationwide Eclipse Ballooning Program (NEBP) team, “The Devil Dragon Balloon Team.” This team is a new collaboration between Drexel and Springside Chestnut Hill Academy (SCH) that not only capitalizes on the unique resources of each sponsoring institution, but additionally provides mentoring opportunities for the students involved. The Devil Dragon Balloon Team was formed in response to the NEBP solicitation, but both Drexel and SCH have some experience in high-altitude ballooning and field operations for launching aerial vehicles (balloons, drones, kites, RC planes). Through the NEBP, the faculty and students from Drexel and SCH aim to develop more rigorous protocols for field operations with aerial vehicles and remote sensing while gathering data to help answer fundamental questions about the dynamics of the atmosphere on our home planet.
Fei Lu, PhD, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, is the recipient of an award from the NSF National I-Corps program. Lu’s team will aim to commercialize solid-state circuit breaker technology for low-voltage and medium voltage direct current power systems. The presented technology takes full advantage of state-of-the-art wide bandgap semiconductor devices to produce ultrafast, compact, efficient, reliable, scalable, accurate, and cost-efficient solid-state circuit breakers. Compared with the existing technology, Drexel Power breakers aims to isolate faults in a timely manner and implement intelligent coordination to achieve selectivity and reliability in DC power networks.
