Leveraging 150 Years of Technological Innovation and Scientific Discovery
At the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science, we pioneer promising solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems – from deepening our understanding of the universe, to speeding up processes that improve access to education and healthcare, to creating new and sustainable forms of energy. Our flagship school, located upon the Hudson River right across from New York City, provides a complete STEM experience for our undergraduate and graduate students across nine departments. Our dynamic curricula blend fundamental knowledge and training with practical application through numerous hands-on experiential learning opportunities. This multidisciplinary, design-based approach fosters entrepreneurial thinking, a spirit of teamwork and problem-solving skills — and it propels our graduates on to success in careers and in life.
ENGINEERING THE FUTURE WITH AI
At Stevens, graduate students explore AI, machine learning and data science through multiple programs tailored to different academic and professional goals.
Each curriculum is grounded in real-world application—and students often contribute to faculty-led research in robotics, computer vision, cyber-physical systems and predictive analytics, supported by collaborative labs and industry-connected projects.
And every graduate program at Stevens offers the flexibility to include AI coursework—through both core and elective options—tailored to your interests and goals.

Stevens Professors Win Presidential Awards
We are celebrating two distinguished honors recently bestowed on our faculty: Victor Lawrence, a communications pioneer and longtime Stevens professor and research scientist, was awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation for his lifetime of contributions. Also, George Meade Bond Endowed Professor Nicholaus Parziale was selected as a recipient of the highly prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
Stevens Pioneers Quantum Gravity
One of the holy grails of physics has long been to link gravity with quantum mechanics, but quantum gravity had remained squarely in the realm of the theoretical — until now. Stevens Geoffrey S. Inman Junior Professor Igor Pikovski's team has devised a way to do the impossible: detect gravitons, thought to be the quantum building blocks of gravity, with near-future quantum sensing technology. This breakthrough has overturned conventional wisdom in the field of physics and opened the door for the first experimental explorations of quantum gravity.
