Stevens Builds First Baja-Style Race Car
A dozen Stevens students assembled a race car in less than three months and raced it at a major International Society of Automotive Engineers conference. They blazed a trail for themselves--and for Stevens.

Designing a Device to Help a Family
Mechanical engineering seniors Nicole Maetta, Paul Chuquimarca, Luis Flores, Bridget Reed and Emma Sennett-Kuzin teamed up for their senior design project to help a family bathe their disabled son. Here's what they came up with.
Preventing Brain Trauma
One in four student athletes experiences a concussion or mild brain injury during their collegiate career, according to an NCAA survey. ME assistant professor Mehmet Kurt is working to keep those students safe--and that's what he spoke to CBS about.
3D Printing Human Cells
Most 3D printers aren't equipped to print human cells. Assistant professor Robert Chang created one that can. Here's how it works.
Design Courses Build Real-World Knowledge
"Design is not about finding one solution from a formula," says Kishore Pochiraju, associate dean for undergraduate studies, "but searching and finding an optimal solution that satisfies all or most of the stakeholders.” That's why he's working with students to revamp the mandatory SES design courses.
Schlumberger Technology Award
Assistant Professor Brendan Englot received a $350,000 award from Schlumberger Technology Corporation via MIT for a three-year research project on “Robust Autonomous Mapping, Navigation and Inspection of Complex Marine Environments.”
Creating a Pharma Career Pipeline
"I always appreciated what Stevens did for me," says PME alumnus and adjunct professor Jason Fitz. "I wanted to have the same impact on up-and-coming students that the program had on me." That's why he created the TRAX program at Regeneron to help fellow pharmaceutical manufacturing & engineering graduates.
A History of Innovation
The Stevens family were pioneer engineers, inventors and entrepreneurs whose achievements molded American society and mechanical engineering. Stevens Institute of Technology was founded in 1870 by Edwin A. Stevens, son of Colonel John Stevens III, to have a single, rigorous engineering curriculum leading to a degree designated "Mechanical Engineer."…
The Department of Mechanical Engineering educates its students with a broad-based foundation in fundamental engineering principles and liberal arts together with the depth of disciplinary knowledge needed to succeed in a career in mechanical engineering or a related field, including a wide variety of advanced technological and management careers.
