On campusAt Stevens, you’ll develop the foundational skills today’s naval engineers need in one of the nation’s highly regarded engineering programs.
Our highly regarded engineering program includes a concentration in naval engineering. Deeply embedded in marine and oceanographic engineering, the naval engineering concentration focuses on the study of surface and subsurface ships, aircraft, ocean structures and shore facilities used by the U.S. Navy.
The program focuses on development of physical science, mathematics and modeling skills as well as specialized knowledge in naval architecture, marine engineering, systems engineering and environmental engineering. Expert professors and state-of-the-art facilities train you to design, build, operate and maintain ships and other waterborne vessels and oceanographic technology.
Located across the Hudson River from New York City, the epicenter of ship design and harbor operations, Stevens collaborates with government and private companies in design and testing, ensuring that you get the technical knowledge and practical experience necessary to thrive in the professional world.
You will also have access to the renowned Davidson Laboratory, a nationally-recognized center for maritime design research that attracts external organizations to use its towing tank and wave tank.

A Tech Forward Education
Being part of the naval program, I have seen first-hand that most students have fantastic internship opportunities and often receive several job offers before they even graduate. Personally, coming into my final semester already having accepted a job offer has been such a great feeling, knowing that I am ready to start work after graduation with a company that I'm super excited to work for.

My favorite part of the program is its size. It's easy to get involved with activities outside of class, like working in the Davidson Lab and professional organization events like SNAME (Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers). Even though it's small, it still has a great reach and reputation in the industry, which has helped when looking for internships and job opportunities.

With incredible facilities such as the Davidson Laboratory towing tank, and the ability to still enjoy a more traditional college environment, Stevens became my number one choice in my college search. The faculty within the Naval engineering major have been more amazing than I ever could have hoped for.
Jack Bonoli
Naval Engineering Graduate
From my work in Davidson laboratory, I have gained practical experience in how ship resistance and seakeeping is calculated to make sure the design is successful. I enjoy the mixture of in class learning and practical experience that I receive in the model basin. Also the small class size leads to increased interaction with professors and other faculty, increasing learning.
