School of Engineering & Science – SES Academic Partners

Academic Partnership Around the World

The Schaefer School of Engineering & Science is continually expanding its collaborations with academic institutions around the world. Partnered with universities on the Atlantic coast, across the pond, and beyond, Stevens is conducting innovative research with some of the world's finest academic institutions. A few of SES's partnerships are highlighted below.

DHS National Center of Excellence Partners

Stevens and the University of Hawaii co-lead the Department of Homeland Security National Center for Secure and Resilient Maritime Commerce . CSR maintains strong partnerships with academic institutions, government organizations, and non-profit research centers globally. The DHS National Center of Excellence partners include Rutgers University , the University of Miami , MIT , the University of Puerto Rico , and Monmouth University . This diverse network of institutions supports DHS efforts to provide for the safe and secure use of our nation's maritime domain through advancement of the relevant sciences and development of the new workforce.

Rutgers University and the Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences

Stevens Institute of Technology and Rutgers University are expanding their existing partnership through a joint New York Bight Shelf and Harbor Dynamics Study that will leverage the complimentary strengths and ongoing investments of the partner institutions. Existing capabilities include: Stevens New York Harbor Observing System , Rutgers New Jersey Shelf Observing System, Rutgers New Jersey coastal atmospheric forecasting program, and Stevens New York Harbor estuarine forecasting program. 

Capabilities of the two schools will be merged to (a) implement a coupled high-resolution atmosphere-ocean forecasting model that covers the New York Bight Shelf and Harbor, (b) implement a nested shelf and harbor HF Radar observing system that covers the same region, (c) develop and demonstrate a novel HF Radar data assimilative capability in the ocean model, and (d) use the coupled data assimilative forecast model to study atmosphere-ocean and shelf-estuary coupling in the New York Bight.

Institute of Technology Tallaght

On December 7, 2004 a cooperative agreement between Stevens and the Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT) in Dublin, Ireland was signed by Tim Creedon , Director of ITT and George P. Korfiatis , Dean of Engineering at Stevens. The agreement leverages the strengths of both organizations towards the development of an educational initiative in the form of an International Center for Pharmaceutical Education which will deliver technical education to the pharmaceutical/ health care industry worldwide; including the delivery of online courses with remote/virtual experiments and joint faculty/students exchanges.

University College London

Stevens Institute of Technology and England's University College London  have agreed upon an exchange of undergraduate students in a mutual study abroad program.  Naval Engineering undergraduate students from Schaefer School of Engineering and Science have an opportunity to attend classes in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London.  The agreement was signed by George Korfiatis , Provost and University Vice President of SIT and Michael Worton , Vice Provost of UCL on December 1, 2008.  The new program, combining strengths from both institutions, offers a deep and broad education in the field of maritime engineering.
