As Philadelphia's technological university and a leader in curricular innovation, Drexel has a history of integrating the latest technological advances into the learning process:

  • In 1983, Drexel became the first university to require all entering students to have microcomputers.

  • In 2000, Drexel became the first major university to operate a fully wireless campus, allowing students, faculty and staff to access the Internet from indoors and outdoors, anywhere on the University's three campuses.

  • In 2002, Drexel launched the first mobile Web portal service for students, enabling them to access a range of information via virtually any Web-enabled handheld device, from anywhere in the world.

  • The School of Education created the iPods in Education Grant [PDF] to involve upper-division (students who are sophomores, juniors and seniors) and graduate students in the integration of the iPod into the School of Education academic programs and into student studies.
