From the institute’s founding by America’s technology pioneers more than 130 years ago, the undergraduate engineering program has trained the field’s leaders through a unique curriculum that prepares students for successful careers across a broad spectrum of engineering-related disciplines. Our engineering education—a combination of classroom learning with a focus on mathematics and science; a commitment to real-world, hands-on experience; the innovative Engineering Design Spine; and a faculty dedicated to pushing the boundaries of research—has led to Stevens’ ranking among the nation’s most prestigious engineering universities. Fun fact: Stevens was established in 1870 to specialize in mechanical engineering. Did you know? Stevens has a rich history of graduating top industry leaders, including Charles Stewart Mott, 1897, President, General Motors; Wesley J. Howe, '43, Chairman, Becton Dickinson; Larry Babbio, '66, President & COO, Verizon; and Rick Roscitt, '73, President & CEO, AT&T Business Services. |
