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 a bequest in the will of Edwin A. Stevens, son of Colonel John Stevens III. The original trustees determined that Stevens should have a single, rigorous engineering curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree they designated "Mechanical Engineer."
The Mechanical Engineering curriculum is unique in its structure and offers students experiential learning every semester in the form of the Stevens Design Spine. The department believes that design differentiates engineering from other technical disciplines and has established its central role in the learning process.
Faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering work closely with undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students on influential and critical research areas such as sustainable energy, fluid systems, materials, design and manufacturing, nanotechnology and robotics.
This research group develops the design, fabrication, characterization and applications of various active nanostructures and nanodevices.
This laboratory is highly interdisciplinary and focused in the integration of biological sciences with electronics and mechanical engineering.
Research and development center focused on realizing cost-effective and high performance products and systems with cross-disciplinary research.
Designs algorithms, optimization methods and control systems that help mobile robots achieve robust autonomy in complex environments.
