IS2013 Technical Tours
Systems Engineering University In Philadelphia
In the early days of Philadelphia, residents like founding father and America's first scientist and electrical engineer - Benjamin Franklin - dabbled in electricity, wind patterns, printing and beer, such that science, engineering and the education of both have held an integral role. Today, the city continues this proud tradition at two of the country's major universities: Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania.
