Stevens Team Places in NASA’s Moon to Mars Ice & Prospecting Challenge
The RASC-AL senior design team placed second in the 2019 Special Edition: Moon to Mars Ice & Prospecting Challenge on June 3-7, 2019. The team was also awarded for having the “clearest water” and the most accurate “digital core.”
Stevens Mechanical Engineering Students Get Their Hands Dirty
Designing and building racecar systems provides real-world engineering experiences and teaches the value of teamwork to Stevens students.
SES Continues to Inspire Girls to Pursue STEM
ME assistant professor Maxine Fontaine and several women students led Stevens' fourth-annual Introduce a Girl to Engineering! day event at Brensinger Elementary School--and inspired a whole new generation of engineers.
Pharma Students Finds Internship of Lifetime
Stevens pharmaceutical student Ravi Suba fearlessly traveled to Hailin City, China for an internship at a new, first of its kind manufacturing plant--and discovered the opportunity of a lifetime.
Stevens Institute of Technology was founded in 1870 offering one degree – Mechanical Engineering. Although the number of majors has expanded greatly since then, Stevens’ Department of Mechanical Engineering remains dedicated to traditional broad-based mechanical engineering education while also introducing cutting edge new areas of focus such as robotics and autonomous systems, bioengineering, additive manufacturing, sustainable energy, and micro-nano technology.
The mechanical engineering program at Stevens strives to educate “the complete engineer.” In addition to our emphasis on scientific and engineering proficiency, we instill in our students the values of professionalism, leadership, entrepreneurship, and ethics. Our students also receive extensive training in communication, learning how to effectively present technical information orally, visually and in written form.
