The School of Engineering is home to a spectrum of exciting research programs. While encouraging strong individual faculty research, the School has a number of research focus areas that bring groups of faculty and students together in a synergetic manner to address major topics of importance to the nation and the world at large. Some of these Initiatives are still at a formative stage; others have matured into Research Centers. The relatively small size of our institution encourages a significant level of faculty interaction across Departmental boundaries that can facilitate the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of leading edge research.
TRADITION
There is a tradition at Stevens of working closely with Industrial Partners that can be traced back to the founding of the Institution and the Stevens family, who in the mid-to-late 19th Century were inventors and industrialists at the forefront of bringing innovations in steam technology to commercial application. This tradition is today manifested in the Technogenesis environment that has been established on campus.
TECHNOGENESIS
Technogenesis is about not only encouraging traditional research but also promoting the stages beyond scholarly publication of the research results to include establishment of Intellectual Property and the transitioning of this into commercial realization. This continuum from knowledge creation to commercialization of new technology is one in which the education of our students is properly centered. Our graduates, whether at the Bachelor's, Masters, or PhD level benefit from an awareness of and exposure to this continuum. An entrepreneurial orientation is now and will increasingly be an asset for our graduates and this is reflected in both our research and educational programs.
UNDERGRADUATES
We encourage our undergraduate students to involve themselves in faculty-mentored research or design projects, especially ones that have a strong Technogenesis basis. Support for these students can come from individual faculty, the Centers and by various scholarship programs.
