| Interdisciplinary Engineering Research Worldwide | |
The School of Engineering & Science 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 signific ant 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 the establishment of Intellectual Property and the transition 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 with an entrepreneurial orientation that has become an increasingly important asset for our graduates, whether at the Bachelor's, Masters, or PhD level and is reflected in both our research and educational programs.
Undergraduates
While encouraging strong individual faculty research, the School has a number of interdisciplinary leading-edge research 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.
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 Research Centers and by various scholarship programs.
Maritime Security Laboratory (MSL)
 The Maritime Security Laboratory conducts applied research aimed at reducing maritime vulnerabilities.
MSL develops and fields technologies addressed at threats across multiple timescales, ranging from terrorist incidents to coastal hazards. These assets include sensors, vehicles, and models focused on the surface, underwater, and urban realms.
MSL has substantial expertise operating in complex urban estuaries and harbors where currents, salinity, temperature, water level, and acoustic properties fluctuate in both space and time. In addition, significant vessel traffic renders mission execution challenging.
Through close collaboration with government agencies, our R&D techniques are deployed to ports and cities throughout the world for anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).

The Laboratory for Multiscale Imaging (LMSI)
LMSI is a share facility that opens up to the entire Stevens community as well as the outside researchers.
It provides state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise in morphological characterization to support and elevate research, and it helps leverage Stevens capabilities to attract further support for new and significant self-sustaining programs.
The LMSI houses four pieces of major instrumentations - a field-emission S/TEM, a field-emission SEM, a DPN/AFM, and a LSCM, that provide imaging capabilities to study both synthetic and biological materials from macroscopic to microscopic length scale.
