Stevens is a standout for several reasons. Our campus is located only minutes from New York City, considered by many to be the business capital of the world. Stevens offers majors in core business disciplines but approaches business education in a unique way. All courses are infused with two special ingredients: a state-of-the art emphasis on technology and a focus on real-world practice and appli-cation. These attributes give our students the tools they need to be successful in the job market. Our superb career outcomes are evidence of that – 96% of Stevens business graduates secure full-time employment within six months of graduation, some as early as the beginning of their senior year.

THE TECHNOLOGICAL EDGE

The most successful business people today not only have functional expertise (for example marketing and finance training), but they also know how to leverage technology to be successful. With technology at its core, Stevens has been particularly successful in helping its business students develop this valuable blend of skills, and distin-guish themselves from business students at other schools.

Our programs are infused with technology at every turn. Stevens’ marketing program requires students to take a course in social networks. Students learn about the various social media outlets but, more importantly, how to collect and analyze social network data for decision-making. Another example is our management program, which emphasizes the growing trend of crowdsourcing.

Technology is particularly important in the field of finance, and Stevens has addressed this in a big way with our new state-of-the-art Hanlon Financial Systems Center (FSC). The first of its kind in the United States, the FSC serves as a platform for financial education and research.

Quantitative Finance (QF) is a young field, which until recently has been offered exclusively at the master’s and doctoral levels. Stevens was one of the first universities to launch this as an undergraduate major. QF majors learn how to use math and computational skills to transform financial markets. Applications include the use of mathematical models to support more accurate asset pricing; stock selection; asset allocation and investment portfolio analysis; comput-erized trading pits; and the quantification of statistical parameters, such as volatility and correlation of returns, leading to new ways to assess risk and design effective hedging strategies.

WHAT IS QUANTITATIVE FINANCE?

“ Today’s world is full of multifaceted problems. And the more complex they are, the more cross-functional in nature our approaches and solutions need to be.

Stevens’ business programs are designed with this in mind. More than 90% of our students have completed an internship by the time they graduate, and many

internships lead directly to jobs after graduation.” – Dr. Ann Murphy, Associate Dean, School of Technology Management

When our students graduate, they are ready to hit the ground running and succeed in their careers. Fifty of the world’s Fortune 500 companies are located in New York City within minutes from campus, and 200 of the Fortune 1000 are located within two hours. It is not uncommon for executives on their lunch breaks to guest lecture in our undergraduate business classes, or for former executives to teach in our programs as Executives in Residence.

These partnerships and our advantageous location pay dividends when it comes to giving you real-world experience through paid internships, which can start as early as the summer after your freshman year. Stevens’ Office of Career Development has relationships with hundreds of companies who recruit Stevens students precisely because our rigorous, one-of-a-kind business training has a proven record for helping companies achieve their corporate goals.

Real-world experience is also a core part of the Stevens business curriculum. All of our courses include individual and team projects that focus on problems truly faced in business today. In their senior year, students take a two-semester business consulting course in which they are teamed up with major organizations. For example, one team last year worked with MTV networks. The team was matched up with a representative from the company as well as with a faculty advisor. Between bi-weekly meetings with the client and weekly meetings with the faculty advisor, the team helped the company with its media content and delivery, specifically tackling the issue of interactive television engagement.

REAL-WORLD CONNECTION

“ Helping to increase MTV’s live viewership is extremely rewarding, especially when we see a large company like MTV executing our ideas,” said project team member Joelle Rusin. “It’s a great benefit to us that Stevens’ business curriculum allows us to work with real clients to address strategic business problems while also offering more personalized attention and time with the professors as well as opportunities for feedback,” added classmate and fellow student team member Ann DeStefano

Stevens alumnus Pedro Ardila is living proof that when a journey begins, so does an adventure. Upon graduating from Stevens in 2008 with a B.S. in computer science, a Quantitative Software Engineering Graduate Certificate and an impressive history of cooperative education assignments at Lehman Brothers, Marsh, and an education-focused web solutions company, Ardila was highly sought after by employers. He said yes to Microsoft, and promptly moved out to Seattle, Washington, from the East Coast.

He describes his role at Microsoft as being part of a central team that helps other teams who need user-centered design assistance, adding that his ultimate goal is to ship a product that looks good but is also easy to use, efficient, and gets the job done. To do so, he builds designs, helps developers write code and focuses on the end-user interaction. “I will be really happy when my grandmother knows what I do and is able to use a product I’ve created,” he said.

Ardila’s drive to be challenged extends outside the walls of the software giant. An avid outdoor enthusiast, he partici-pated in Ironman Canada last year and then returned to New York City to run the city’s famed marathon. While back on the East Coast, he also spoke with students at his alma mater.

“I like to stay in touch with Stevens and give back any way I can. I am so grateful to the University for my education. I truly learned how to think at Stevens, and the co-op program helped me mature and understand the real world,” Ardila asserted. “Stevens is a great school that really sets students up for success.”

THE DESIGN SPINE

At the heart of Stevens’ Engineering curriculum is a series of eight core design courses called the Design

Spine. The first five core design courses are taken by all students and are taught by professors who bring

the benefit of their industry-based design experience into the classroom. The last three courses are taken

within the student’s discipline – a junior course followed by a capstone senior project. The Design Spine

courses are the major vehicle for developing a set of competencies to meet educational goals in areas

such as creative thinking, problem solving, teamwork, economics of engineering, project management,

communication, ethics and environmental awareness. They are also linked to the engineering science

courses taken concurrently each semester. This is done so that experiments and design projects provide

a tangible context for the engineering science lecture materials.

NEW LEADERS FOR A CHANGING WORLD

As the 21st century unfolds, we will continue to see rapid advancements in the ways we organize data, communicate information, and solve problems—and technology will be the key to addressing all the challenges that await us. However, if societies are to develop solutions to the most pressing issues—things like global climate change, sustainable economic growth, artificial intelligence, or the ever-present and growing reliance on computers and social media—they will need leadership from individuals who can direct the power of science and technology in effective and responsible ways. We will need leaders who recognize that, as global citizens, we are not only responsible for creating and using technology to advance our objectives, but also for assessing its impact on the world. The programs and majors offered by The College of Arts & Letters (CAL) at Stevens give students what it takes to become leaders who exhibit a distinctly humanistic approach to progress.

Humanities & Arts

“ Moving into the future, the world will need people to act as a liaison between technological and cultural progress. That’s what I think the CAL programs do. They let people with a love of science and a passion for the humanities, like me, combine both. Hopefully they will train future leaders to make the tough decisions – thinking not only about things like profits and inventions, but about people.”

Spencer Horton, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Physics and a master’s degree in Nanotechnology in May 2012, completed his thesis on the studies of decoherence at ultra cold temperatures and, under the supervision of Dr. Svetlana Malinovskaya, proposed the technique to mitigate the impact of decoherence by using modulated optical frequency combs. He will continue his graduate studies at Stony Brook University.

The research Horton conducted with Dr. Malinovskaya’s research assesses the latest developments in the quantum control of ultra cold atoms and molecules and proposed potential solutions to the problem of decoherence. Quantum control is essential to the establishment and implementation of quantum computing, an extremely fast and powerful technology that would use the quantum state of atoms and molecules to store information rather than the electrical switches currently used in computers. The whole research group participated with four presentations at the Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society in Anaheim, CA in the summer of 2012.

Campus Life

THE FRESHMAN EXPERIENCE

In addition to the many activities and resources available to first-year

students, Stevens has created a unique academic structure geared specifi-

cally to students beginning their academic careers at Stevens. First–year

Stevens students are required to participate in the Freshman Experience, a

sequence of two common courses: Writing & Communication Seminar and

Humanities Colloquium. Together, these courses help to develop critical

thinking, confidence and creativity – essential cornerstones of innovation.

The Freshman Experience also orients students to college life while

providing a common foundation across majors and schools. Universal

syllabi for the two courses ensure that every student reads and discusses

the same material, regardless of section or instructor. This builds and

reinforces a sense of solidarity and community, a cornerstone of the

Stevens experience.

Tools and technologies developed at Stevens are used to monitor and improve the security of our waterways and maritime domains. These technologies were put into action to support the response teams after Captain Sully’s “Miracle on the Hudson,” as well as the federal and local responders to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010. Stevens alumni have made technological breakthroughs that have changed the course of history – from founding General Motors and Texas Instruments to developing the IMAP email protocol, which revolutionized the way we communicate. A Stevens alumnus is also responsible for changing forever the way we make and view art, through the invention of the mobile sculpture.

Stevens understands that success for graduates today requires problem solving on teams comprised of profes-sionals from various areas of expertise, and the University is deeply committed to providing this experience for students. Multidisciplinary collaboration at Stevens advances life-changing research and uniquely prepares students to face the complex problems they will be asked to solve after graduation.

Through sophisticated research, comprehensive design projects, and diverse cooperative education and internship placements, through connections with world–renowned faculty members who are energized in their work by the power of student-faculty collaboration, Stevens students get exposure to other disciplines while developing a deep understanding of their own.

REAL-WORLD PROBLEM-SOLVING

Technologies developed by Stevens research teams are making beaches in New Jersey and the nation safer for swimmers and purifying drinking water in distant locales such as Bangladesh with low-cost solutions. Stevens researchers have created sterilization technologies and infection-resistant biomaterials to accelerate recovery for patients. They are improving wireless communica-tion networks, increasing the efficacy of social media

during natural disasters, improving driver safety and more effectively modeling the global financial system.

For more than 140 years, Stevens has cultivated unique and compassionate students fueled by a university-wide emphasis on creating and implementing technology for the benefit of society. How will you make a difference?

Leading Bio-Innovation in Medicine

Stevens students from a number of disciplines team up each year to advance bio-innovation with great impact. Their inventions are applied to real-world solutions, like creating a medical device that better guides a tracheal tube into optimal position, opening airways for patients who are critically injured or unable to breathe under anesthesia. Stevens students have invented methods for treating hypothermia in isolated, hard-to-access trauma settings like battle fields and natural disasters, and a method for removing implants more safely and efficiently. There is no limit to the discoveries and applications Stevens students lead.

For example, a team of Stevens students invented a highly reliable method of assessing recovery after devastating knee injuries, one that can inform physicians and surgeons as to the best course of treatment. A presentation of their solution—a device called a knee goniometer—won first place in the 37th Annual Northeast Bioengineering Confer-ence (NEBEC) Student Design Competition last year.

A LEGACY OF IMPACT

The stories told at Castle Point over the generations resonate with traits unique to Stevens: The solution-oriented focus of our education and research; our passionate belief that science and technology can improve lives; our commitment to ground-breaking multidisciplinary research; and our celebrated history of entrepreneurship. It is this tradition that has passed from our founders to our faculty, our alumni and our students. It is this philosophy that uniquely positions Stevens and our students for the future.

Stevens motto: Per Aspera ad Astra (Through Adversity to the Stars)

“This project united biology, medicine, and engineering and allowed us as undergraduate students to really help physicians,” said senior design team member Patricia Roh. “We hope to get a patent and bring this product to the market.”

The goniometer, a microelectronic array of sensors, deduces the angle of knee movement and is the result of a senior design project involving senior biomedical engineering students. The concept for the device devel-oped out of earlier work on knee angle measurement conducted by the team’s advisor, Assistant Professor Antonio Valdevit.

“We are proud of this team, “said Dr. Vikki Hazel-wood, Industry Professor and Associate Program Director of Biomedical Engineering at Stevens. “Their success is a tribute to their hard work and the unique approach Stevens offers in the senior design program, offering the students elements of entrepreneurship and practical technology development throughout their education.”

The student team saw economic benefits for many stakeholders in the medical industry. “Physicians need an inexpensive way to study the knee that is also easy to use,” said student Shing Cheung Yuen. As opposed to current techniques involving complex systems in a static facility, the team’s new measurement device is embedded within an everyday knee cuff. It is so mobile that athletes can wear it while practicing, allowing even non-injured players to constantly monitor their knee health.

The team reported that their goniometer received unexpected, positive attention from industry representa-tives at the NEBEC student competition. “We thought it was just an academic poster competition,” said student Jaroslaw Lupinski, who represented the team at NEBEC. “But it was actually an elevator pitch competition in disguise. It turned out that the five judges were all CEOs of companies in the biomedical device industry.”

Advancing Next-Generation Naval Ships

For the second consecutive year, a multi-disciplinary team at Stevens designed an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) for a senior capstone project, advancing breakthroughs in unmanned vessel technology among peers competing in the 5th International RoboBoat Competition. Sponsored by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International and the Office of Naval Research, the competition draws some of the nation’s best science and engineering students who design, construct and deploy surface vehicles that have to navigate an arduous aquatic course without human input. This year’s vessel netted a sixth place finish, advancing to the championship.

Stevens’ ASV team year was an interdisciplinary team comprised of five mechanical engineering majors, two computer science majors and a naval engineering major. The students linked a Microsoft Kinect camera to the ship’s onboard computer for sensing, panning and tilting. The Kinect camera senses depth and communi-cates with the onboard computer to let it know when an object is in the vessel’s path. Their work was aided by Stevens’ one-of-a-kind high-speed towing tank in the Davidson Laboratory. This straight tank of water, 313 feet long and 16 feet wide, supporting water depths as high as 7 feet, is one of the most advanced facilities of its kind in the United States. “It’s an amazing experi-ence to have access to a world-class research facility as a student,” said project manager Travis Krichman.

“This year’s team has decided to add sensor capabili-ties to their ASV in hopes of exceeding the success of last year’s group,” said Michael DeLorme, Research Associate in Naval Engineering. “The decision brought significant challenges and risks that the team has been working very hard to overcome. Their vision system, which is the most critical on the ASV, makes use of existing technology from a completely different industry. It is this type of innova-tion and cross disciplinary thinking that demonstrates the strength of our student research.”

The team members all agreed that working with students from other disciplines has been invaluable to their progress. “It has been exhilarating to apply our classroom knowledge on a long hands-on project,” said mechanical engineer Rei Darwin Flores. “You get to see things from a new perspec-tive,” added head computer engineer Daniel Bolella. “Sometimes you clash on ideas, and sometimes you say to yourself, ‘Wow, I would never have thought of that.’”

Computer Science for the Greater Good Nonprofit and government organizations with software development needs are in luck. As they have for many years past, computer science students at Stevens have the opportunity to complete pro bono technical projects for public agencies, civil service organizations, charitable groups, academic researchers and others.

“Projects that turn computer science theory learned in coursework into practice are some of the most powerful learning tools,” said Dr. David Klappholz, associate professor of computer science. He has taught a number of courses which require students to complete group projects for the greater good, projects which require them to apply their skills in software design, mobile computing, web programming, graphic design and more. “For our students to be able to develop software that has meaningful value to a nonprofit group is an added bonus.”

Real clients are acquired and collaborate on the development of software to meet their particular needs. Over a two-semester course, students work on in-depth, highly-challenging group projects, moving from initial requirements to finished systems that the clients will actually use within their organizations. A review of the pro bono computer science design projects from the 2011-2012 academic year shows the practical and useful software tools these students typically produce.

One project resulted in the development of a software suite that assists in the growth and education of young adults with autism. A second team developed an add-on module for Open MRS to ensure patient confidentiality and data security. Open MRS is an open-source, Java-based medical record system used by Rwandan clinics to share patient data and information. A third project was a new content management system and website for the Bayonne (NJ) Economic Opportunity Foundation, which provides programs for Bayonne’s low-income population, senior citizens, and the disabled. The student team built software to automate workflow, give public access to certain infor-mation and provide an employee web portal for sharing important forms and documents. Still more projects include a mobile app for communicating with and locating mine disaster victims, and a mobile app and website that aid lifeguards and researchers in tracking rip currents.

Multidisciplinary Approach to Green Technology Reflecting the game-changing and collaborative spirit at Stevens, plans are underway at Stevens for the Depart-ment of Energy’s Solar Decathlon competition. This prestigious national contest challenges students to design, build and operate the most affordable, attractive and energy-efficient (zero energy) solar-powered house. The project involves a diverse cadre of university students and other organizations to advance green technology and create a new standard for affordable housing.

Stevens’ team competed in the 2011 Solar Decathlon, yielding two first-place wins in the Affordability and Hot Water categories, and placed in the top 10 in seven others. After the competition, the design was expanded to the construction of a side-by-side duplex for two families chosen by Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C. and the D.C. Department of Housing and Community Devel-opment.

Stevens was selected by the Department of Energy to compete again in the fall of 2013 and will introduce new elements to the home’s design and construction. For example, a multidisciplinary team of visual arts & technology and engineering students led research this summer that will contribute to the design of “The Enlighten House” – a home that is not only energy-efficient but also adjusts to the residents’ preferences and centralizes user interfaces. The home will be transported to California in the summer of 2013 for the final stage of the competition.

“Imagine an energy-efficient house with a television that not only provides entertainment in the home but also allows residents to display and engage in homework there or move it with a hand gesture over to a touch table, where they further engage in the homework or entertainment or view the home’s current and projected energy consump-tion based on weather forecasts and user preferences,” said Brian Moriarty, Affiliate Assistant Professor of Art & Technology. “Our goal is to centralize all the interfaces. Essentially, we believe the lines between education and entertainment are blurring, and we want to be part of that in an effective and meaningful way.”

Lifeguards in New Jersey are testing a new smartphone app

to document and detail rip currents in real-time. The app

was developed by students at Stevens and allows lifeguards to enter data on the location and strength of rip currents

from their smartphones. It then combines that information with National Weather Service data

on wind and surf conditions. Other lifeguards can also use the

app to see nearby problems.

Water Resources Management in Coastal Lowland EcuadorDams are great engineering feats to aid in food production, hygiene, electricity and a myriad of other tasks, inevitably affecting realms of politics, the environment, health, and ethics. A multidisciplinary student team from Stevens is exploring this complex issue from all angles in order to better understand the interplay of engineered dams and the history of a people in coastal lowland Ecuador.

The three-year research project investigates the inter-section of technology, policy and ethics as it relates to water management and agriculture along the Santa Elena Peninsula. The overall mission is to examine the social, economic, and political history of water management in the region from the late 19th century to the present. “Sin agua no hay vida” examines the roles of key elements in water management: control and coordination by the state, U.S.-Latin American relations’ influence on water policy, and the effects of the Alliance for Progress (1961) on local, sustainable water management. It also explores the ethics of water resources management.

“When you talk about water, you talk about people,” said environmental engineering student Nadira Najib. “There is a lot of social consciousness among environ-mental engineers, and this research project demonstrates how engineering activities affect people.”

Najib has seen firsthand the realities of water manage-ment. A native of Morocco, she remembers walking long distances to get water for her family. “My grandparents didn’t have access to drinking water, and they lived 30 minutes from one of the biggest cities in Morocco – Casablanca,” Najib said. “Kids had to skip school to bring water to their families. It was very sad.”

Stevens’ multidisciplinary project addressing Ecuador includes graduate and undergraduate students from history, environmental engineering, civil engineering and coastal engineering. Many of these students travel to Ecuador to conduct research over the summer. Though they come from many different fields, the students are united by the common thread of water: the project title translates to “without water, there is no life.”

“This project provides an opportunity to explore some of the complex issues outlined by bodies such as the World Commission on Dams (2000) and calls for a more global focus on water resources management and partnerships between constituencies involved in their development,” said Dr. Dawn Digrius, assistant professor of history at Stevens and the project’s lead. “Our students, as part of this project, will have opportunities to examine their role in water management, and also to create collabora-tive relationships with students in Ecuador, thus exposing them to new ways of thinking about the world.”

MORE THAN A GREAT VIEW

To say that Stevens’ location is ideal is an understatement in every sense of the word. Located at Castle

Point on Hudson in Hoboken, New Jersey, directly overlooking Manhattan, the view from all points on

Stevens’ beautiful 55-acre campus makes it clear that Stevens is situated in one of the most exciting

and practical places in the world. In addition to unlimited access to amazing cultural and social activi-

ties, Stevens’ proximity to New York City and the surrounding metro area opens doors to unmatchable

internships, cooperative education placement and other project-based learning opportunities for Stevens

students. Hoboken has a rich history and reputation for being a hip, small town in a big place, ranked

among the top 10 college towns in the nation by The Princeton Review. Stevens students are recognized

as an integral part of the Hoboken community.

GIVING BACK LOCALLY

Each year, hundreds of students volunteer their time and expertise to support and improve the educational experi-ence at Stevens through community service. Many of Stevens’ student organizations give back to the commu-nity through volunteer efforts with local food banks; environmental preservation and cleanup projects; youth mentorship through Boys & Girls Clubs and sports camps; Habitat for Humanity and other service projects. In addition, the co-educational fraternity Alpha Phi Omega (Theta Alpha Chapter of Stevens) is a unique and dynamic service organization in which students work on a variety of projects in addition to creating their own events. Each member is required to complete 20 hours of community service per semester, though many students go well beyond this level. Stevens also has a long tradition of providing student, alumni, faculty and staff volunteers for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and other major events in the local metro area.

A STEVENS EDUCATION IS MORE THAN A CURRICULUM

It’s about being a world citizen, giving back to the community, building bridges across cultures, and reaching for more than a traditional college experience. Here, you have a world of opportunity to take your educa-tional experience across the globe through our study abroad program, service-oriented organizations, or with department-sponsored trips. Closer to home, our students give back by participating in community service projects or volunteering with local organizations. In addition, Stevens offers three programs for especially high-achieving students.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Summer Research for Stevens Scholars:Every summer, students conduct research at Stevens and abroad as part of  the Stevens Scholars  Program. These motivated students have a chance to showcase and discuss their work in the following fall at a poster exhibit and reception to celebrate their accomplishments. 

Scholars Program summer research projects are diverse in topic and scope. However, all the projects allow students to apply their engineering and scientific training to design and research, an attractive challenge to students eager for experience beyond the classroom.  Students drive research  in areas  such as quantum cryptography,  bone regeneration, neural tissue engineering, overcoming the drug resistance of cancer cells, understanding social networks, psychology of movement in video games, indoor geolocation technology, passive solar house technology and applications of energy harvesting for micro/nano robotics. 

Stevens Scholars are typically high-achieving students with strong interest in and dedication to their areas of study. In addition to summer research—or additional summer coursework—Stevens Scholars can earn a combined bachelor’s and master’s degree in just four years.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) Summer Research Program:

The I&E Summer Research Program allows undergradu-ates to engage in research, design or business projects for ten weeks over the summer. Students propose a suitable project, identify a faculty advisor, and submit a proposal to the program committee. Faculty review proposals and select students to work with and mentor during the duration of the research project. Participants take part in a poster session presenting their work to the University community. Some I&E research projects turn into senior design projects.

Five-Year Bachelor’s/Master’s Program:

Earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in just five years is increasingly attractive to students. A fantastic opportunity for high-achieving students to pursue a graduate degree concurrent with their undergraduate studies, this program is designed with the ambitious student in mind. Obtaining two degrees in an accelerated timeframe can mean less overall time spent in school, as well as higher entry point into the workforce upon completion.

“ As faculty and leaders here at Stevens, we consistently provide a solution to the question: What can students work on that has meaning for them and therefore relates directly to business and where they are going when they leave here?”

– Dr. Keith Sheppard, Associate Dean/Professor of Chemical Engineering & Material Sciences, School of Engineering & Science

For the sixth time in eight years, a Stevens student was selected as the Cooperative Education and Internship Student of the Year by the

New Jersey Cooperative Education and Internship Association (NJCEIA). Senior Erik Thompson, an Electrical Engineering major and participant in the Stevens Cooperative Education (co-op) program, is the 2012 recipient representing four-year college students.

Thompson took part in five co-op assignments through Stevens. The first two assignments were with Data-scope Patient Monitors, where he worked with the electrical engineering staff to test hospital products and implement fixes. Next, he worked as a computer engineer at the Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsensal. Finally, Thompson spent two semesters at Safe Flight Instrument Corporation as project lead for the development of cockpit sensors that prevent airplanes from stalling. “Each job I did was critical, in its own way, for preparing me for the workforce. Datascope introduced me to the corporate culture and helped me understand how business is done. Picatinny gave me excellent software experience, and Safe Flight was really excellent at developing my design skills.”

After graduating this May, Thompson accepted an of-fer for a full-time position at MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
