Stevens believes that solutions to many of the critical complex problems that face humanity can be found in improved use and understanding of technology, and that it the duty of the Institute to produce engineers, scientists and business leaders prepared for this challenge. This vision is embodied in a concept referred to as “Technogenesis®,” the process of education that begins with the inception of an idea and proceeds through the engineering and marketing phases of the development of a product or service which germinates from the idea. Inherent in this concept is the requirement that the educational structure and research effort be multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary. Our Technogenesis® environment provides researchers with the opportunity to collaborate in research efforts that cut across disciplinary boundaries, and it also provides the working professional with the broad educational experience that is essential to career enhancement. Stevens demonstrates its commitment through the development of several startup companies, increased patent activity, and the incorporation of Technogenesis ® philosophies, concepts and techniques in the classroom. |
