| Academic Partnership Around the World | |
The Schaefer School of Engineering & Science is continually and expanding its collaborations with academic institutions around the world. A few of SSES's partnerships are highlighted below. | 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.  Stevens and Växjö University, Sweden, signed a Memorandum of Understanding, the result of several conversations between Stevens’ Associate Dean Dinesh Verma and Växjö Associate Professor Håkan Bard. The Schaefer School of Engineering at Stevens and the School of Technology and Design at Växjö will explore opportunities of mutual benefit such as a Heavy Vehicles R&D program, collaborative faculty research, and faculty/student exchange. Undergraduate and graduate student exchanges will be established between the international offices of both universities and will include collaborative virtual team projects.
| Buskerud University College | |
 Buskerud University College in Kongsberg, Norway is working with Stevens to deliver live SE courses and a master’s degree. Through the agreement, Buskerud students will earn a master’s degree directly from Stevens until 2008 while Buskerud builds its SE program. After 2008, Stevens will continue teaching the core set of SE courses while students earn the degree from Buskerud. On January 27, 2006, Dean Korfiatis and President Kristin Ørmen Johnsen of Buskerud signed the agreement in Norway.
| 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 Dr. Tim Creedon, Director of ITT and Dr. 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.
| Embedded Systems Insitute | |
In a signing ceremony at the New York Yacht Club, Stevens Institute of Technology and the Embedded Systems Institute of The Netherlands formalized an agreement of cooperation in the area of embedded-systems engineering research and education.
The agreement was signed by Dr. George P. Korfiatis, Provost and University VP of Stevens Institute , and Dr. H. Brinksma, Scientific Director and Chair of the Embedded Systems Institute . The signing ceremony was attended by Dr. Harold J. Raveché, President of Stevens Institute of Technology , and Dr. Amandus Lunqvist, President of the Technical University of Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
The agreement establishes a foundation for joint learning through exchange of knowledge in the area of architecting and engineering within the embedded systems domain. In addition, there will be cooperation between the two in programs for knowledge dissemination and joint research workshops and seminars.
The Embedded Systems Institute is Europe ’s foremost leader in research of systems architecture and embedded systems.
