Stevens Institute of Technology is a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey. Founded in 1870, it is one of the oldest technological universities in the United States and was the first college in America solely dedicated to mechanical engineering.[9] The 55-acre campus encompasses Castle Point, the highest point in Hoboken, a quad, and 43 academic, student and administrative buildings.

Key Information

Established through an 1868 bequest from Edwin Augustus Stevens,[10] enrollment at Stevens includes more than 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students representing 47 states and 60 countries throughout Asia, Europe and Latin America.[11] Stevens comprises three schools that deliver technology-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degrees and degrees in business, arts, humanities and social sciences: The Charles V. Schaefer Jr., School of Engineering and Science, School of Business, and the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.[12] For undergraduates, Stevens offers the Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.).[13] At the graduate level, Stevens offers programs in engineering, science, systems, engineering, management and the liberal arts. Graduate students can pursue advanced degrees in more than 50 different designations ranging from graduate certificates and master's degrees to Ph.D. levels.[13]

Stevens is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity."[14] The university is home to two national Centers of Excellence as designated by the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of Homeland Security.[15][16][17]

History

[edit]

Establishment & the Stevens Family (1868-1870)

[edit]
Main article: Stevens family
Edwin Stevens

In 1868, Edwin Augustus Stevens died. In his will, he left a bequest for the establishment of an "institution of learning," providing his trustees with land and funds.[18] Edwin's will was executed by surviving wife, Martha Bayard Stevens, who would also serve as a lifetime Trustee of the institute that now bears the family's name.[19] Martha and her brother, Samuel Bayard Dod, are responsible for much of the organization for the institute including the hiring of the first president, Henry Morton. Dod became the first President of the Board of Trustees serving until his death in 1907.[citation needed]

The land now occupied by Stevens Institute of Technology was purchased at public auction by John Stevens in 1784.[20] John Stevens was a Revolutionary War Colonel, Continental Congressman, first Treasurer of New Jersey, father of American patent law, steamboat and rail locomotive engineer, and father to Edwin.[21] John built his estate on Castle Point, the Stevens Castle which served as the home to the Stevens family until 1917 when the building was offered to the U.S. Government for WW1 while the family resided in another building on the estate.[22] The Stevens Mansion was then acquired by the university and used as an administrative building until 1959 when the Wesley J. Howe Center was built on its location.[citation needed]

The Stevens family - "America's First Family of inventors" - was influential in founding the university, its early leadership as trustees, and the Institute's surrounding community, Hoboken.[23] Edwin A. Stevens' bequest totaled a city block's worth of land, $150,000 for the construction of a building, and a $500,000 endowment.[citation needed]

Early years

[edit]

Stevens Institute of Technology opened in 1870, offering a rigorous engineering curriculum grounded in scientific principles and the humanities.[20] The original course of study was a single, rigorous curriculum based upon the European Polytechnic model of engineering science (following the French and German scientific and polytechnic schools), rather than the shop schools that were common at that time.[20] The original degree offered was the mechanical engineer (M.E.), in addition to a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, chemistry and physics. Stevens granted several doctoral degrees between 1870 and 1900, making it one of the earliest Ph.D.-granting institutions in the United States.[24] The broad-based interdisciplinary philosophy was put into practice by the founders from the first graduating class. Despite the title of the degree and concentration in mechanical engineering, the curriculum included courses in all engineering disciplines of the time: mechanical, civil, chemical and electrical. In 1880, Robert H. Thurston, professor of mechanical engineering, was nominated the first president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.[25]

The campus was situated at the periphery of the family estate at Castle Point in Hoboken. It occupied a single building now designated Edwin A. Stevens Hall, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[26] Stone designs on the building's facade are believed to be derived from a pattern repeated in the floor mosaic of Hagia Sophia, the great cathedral in Istanbul, which Edwin Stevens is believed to have visited in the late 19th century.

1900–1999

[edit]
Class of 1904

In its first century, Stevens grew quickly, evolving from a small, four-year undergraduate engineering college into a comprehensive technological university with strengths in key fields such as quantum computing, artificial intelligence, resilience engineering, robotics, complex systems, healthcare, biomedical research, brain research and fintech. The university produced a Nobel Prize winner (Frederick Reines '39 M.S. '41) and thousands of new technologies, products, services and research insights.

In 1906, students, under the guidance of President A.C. Humphreys, created the honor system – a moral and ethical code governing the life of Stevens students and preaching equality and honest work.[20] The student-run system still exists to this day, in which the accused are tried by their peers with a punishment recommended to the faculty. Stevens was the first technical school to implement such a system.[27]

During World War II, Stevens Institute of Applied Science was one of 131 colleges and universities nationally that took part in the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.[28] During this time, the institute was also honored by the naming of the Victory Ship, SS Stevens Victory, a merchant cargo ship built by the Bethlehem Fairfield Shipyard at Baltimore. Launched on May 29, 1945, the ship was one of 150 named for U.S. colleges and universities.

In 1959, the undergraduate engineering degree was changed to the bachelor of engineering (B.E.) to reflect the broad-based interdisciplinary engineering curriculum (the M.E. degree of that time was a baccalaureate degree, not to be confused with the present Engineer's degree, which is a terminal professional graduate degree).

Also in 1959, the land occupied by the 40-room Victorian mansion, "Castle Stevens" or "Villa on the Hudson", was repurposed for the 14-story administration building completed in 1962, later renamed the Wesley J. Howe Building.[29] Serving as a campus building since in 1911, it was used as a dormitory, cafeteria, and office space. The unsupported cantilevered staircase, with its elegant hand-carved balustrade, was one of only two such "floating staircases" in America.[30]

Stevens' graduate program admitted women for the first time in 1967.[31] Undergraduate women were first admitted in 1971. The Lore-El Center for Women's Leadership promotes the empowerment of women at Stevens.[32]

In 1982, Stevens became the first institution in the U.S. to require all incoming first-year undergraduate students to purchase and use a personal computer.[33] Around this time, an intranet was installed throughout campus, which placed Stevens among the first universities with a campus network.[34]

WCPR: Castle Point Radio, the radio station of Stevens Institute of Technology since 1961, has over 10,000 LPs, one of the largest record collections in New Jersey.[35]

2000 and beyond

[edit]

Stevens has continued to grow since the turn of the millennium, expanding its enrollment, facilities, partnerships and research programs. The university's collaborations with industry and government include numerous grant awards, contracts and collaborative projects, as well as two National Centers of Excellence designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Department of Defense.

Since 2010, undergraduate enrollment has increased 67 percent and full-time graduate enrollment has increased 73 percent.[36] Stevens has adapted and expanded to accommodate that growth, with a focus on modernizing campus facilities and infrastructure. Under the 2012–22 university strategic plan, Stevens made AV and IT upgrades to 100 percent of its classrooms.[36] Improvements also included two new anchor facilities. The Gateway Academic Center, an 89,500-square-foot teaching and research facility, opened in 2019.[37] In 2022, Stevens opened the University Center Complex, providing residential housing for approximately 1,000 students, as well as a campus hub with meeting, collaboration, event spaces, a fitness center and dining facilities.[38]

Stevens has also focused on increasing access and opportunity for students from underrepresented groups. Among undergraduates, there was a 98 percent increase in women and 149 percent increase in the number of underrepresented minorities between 2011 and 2021.[36] Initiatives developed to provide financial, academic and professional development support for students – including the Accessing Careers in Engineering and Science (ACES),[39] A. James Clark Scholars[40] and Lawrence T. Babbio Pinnacle Scholars[41] programs – have played a role in this growth.

In recognition of the progress Stevens made through its strategic plan, the American Council on Education presented the university with its 2018 ACE/Fidelity Investments Award for Institutional Transformation. The award is given to "institutions that have responded to higher education challenges in innovative and creative ways and achieved dramatic changes in a relatively brief period."[42]

Stevens was named one of the healthiest campuses in the nation by Active Minds, a national nonprofit dedicated to student wellness.[43] It has also been recognized for its commitments to environmental sustainability, including receiving the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) STARS Gold Rating in 2020.[44] In 2021, Stevens announced it would source 100 percent of its electricity from renewable energy starting in that year's fall semester.[45]

In April 2021, Stevens became one of the first higher education institutions in the United States to require COVID-19 vaccination not only for students, but also faculty and staff.[46] In December 2021, the university announced it would require all students, faculty and staff to receive the COVID-19 booster vaccine to be compliant with the rule.[47]

Controversies

[edit]

Attorney general matter

[edit]

In 2009, after a two-year investigation by the New Jersey Attorney General, Stevens and the attorney general filed competing lawsuits against one another.[48][49] The Stevens suit against the attorney general contended that she had overstepped her legal authority over a private institution and sought that any case be pursued by confidential arbitration.[48] The attorney general suit against Stevens, its then-president, Harold J. Raveché, and chairman of the board of trustees, Lawrence Babbio Jr., now referred to as the attorney general matter or allegations of the attorney general.[50] On January 15, 2010, a settlement was reached in which Raveché was ordered to repay the low-interest loans offered to him by the university and increased oversight by the state of New Jersey until 2016.[51][52][53] The president and chairman stepped down shortly after - succecceded by Nariman Farvardin and Virginia P. Ruesterholz, respectively.[54][55] It concluded with no admission of liability or unlawful conduct by any party.[52][56]

Stevens Tech's 55 acre (22 ha) campus is in Hoboken, New Jersey, a city defined by its proximity to New York City and high density. The campus overlooks the Hudson River and is primarily along the waterfront of Hoboken, directly west of Manhattan. The area has a humid subtropical climate and consists of a prominent hill known as Castle Point, the highest point in Hoboken. There are 17 academic, 3 athletic, 11 administrative, and 9 non-Greek residential buildings. Also, there are 13 Greek residences and additional buildings associated with the university in Hoboken.

Of the 60+ buildings associated with the university, 3 are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Early Campus (1870-1916)

[edit]

Edwin A. Stevens Hall

[edit]

When the institution opened in 1870 it consisted of a single building, Edwin A. Stevens Hall, named after its benefactor. The building was designed by renowned architect Richard Upjohn and featured a five-story, 80,000-square-foot hall in the High Victorian Gothic style adorned with heavy-stone masonry, brickwork, pointed arches, and intricately carved sculptures and ornaments.[58] The majority of the building was finished in 1870, with the east wing being completed in 1872, and it functioned as the only building for the college until 1902. Notably, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was chartered within the prominent main hall in 1880, now known as Debaun Auditorium.[59] To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the institution a 40 ft spire was added atop the building, which is now featured as the logo of the university. Modernly, the building is home to the Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering and Sciences, performing arts space, laboratories, offices, and lecture halls.[60][58] The building was added to the NRHP in 1994 for its significance to education, architecture, and social history.[58]

Carnegie Mechanical Laboratory

[edit]

In 1900, trustee and benefactor Andrew Carnegie, offered a sum of $65,000 for the construction of a new engineering workshop, Carnegie Mechanical Laboratory.[61] The architectural style of the building includes an arcade atop a cement basement with a Corinthian entablature. Structurally, a steel frame and cement make up the building, making it completely fireproof.[61] The building is now home to labs, offices, and classroom space. Carnegie Laboratory is inter-linked with the Gateway Academic Center, which wraps around the north and east sides of the building.[62]

Morton Memorial Laboratory of Chemistry

[edit]

While Carnegie Laboratory was being constructed, President Henry Morton was developing plans for a suitable building to house a chemical laboratory, then known as the Alumni Chemical Hall. After Dr. Morton's death in 1902, the building was renamed to honor him and redesigned, as Jacobus said, to make it “look more imposing.”[63] Construction began in 1905. In 1906, the building was opened as the Morton Memorial Laboratory of Chemistry. The building was designed by Ackerman & Partridge and featured three-stories, ten prominent brick chimneys rising high above its roofline, with limestone and copper trimings in a Classical Revival style.[64] The building was added to the NRHP in 2022 for its significance to architecture.[63][64]

William Hall Walker Gymnasium

[edit]

When William Hall Walker Gymnasium was completed in 1916 the student newspaper, The Stute, noted: "Stevens is now a real college, for we have a real place for college dances."[65] The building was distinctive for its elliptical form (due to site conditions) and architects Ludlow & Peabody designed the structure in a classical revival style based on ancient Greek and Roman designs.[65] The exterior of the building was made of variegated deep-toned brick with raked joints, lime and terracotta stone trim, and a green shingled tile roof. The second floor housed the main gymnasium under a trussed ceiling 27 feet above with a gallery running track.[66] Modernly, the building's purpose is much the same, predominately as a space for athletics with occasional activities for student life. The building was added to the NRHP in 2019 for its significance to architecture.[65][66]

Distinct Buildings

[edit]

In addition to the three buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, Stevens is also home to a few distinct features as part of its campus, whether at present or historically. This includes four sculptures, three historic plaques, an anchor, and the famous boat dorm.

The SS Stevens, a 473-foot, 14,893-ton ship, served as a floating dormitory from 1968 to 1975 for approximately 150 students. Moored on the Hudson River at the foot of campus across from New York City, this first collegiate floating dormitory[67] became one of the best-known college landmarks in the country.[68]

Purchased by the institute to fill a shortfall in student housing, the ship's operating costs during the initial years of service were comparable to conventional land-based dormitory housing.[69] In later years, however, the ship's burgeoning operating and repair costs, combined with a more favorable housing outlook, forced the institute to sell Stevens in 1975.[70] In tribute, one of her 6-ton anchors was prominently placed on the campus grounds by the graduating Class of 1975. In August 1975, the ship was towed to a shipyard in Chester, Pennsylvania, and she was subsequently scrapped in 1979.[71] The anchor was briefly removed during the construction of the UCC Towers, but was brought back after student advocacy in April 2024.[72] [73]

S.C. Williams Library Archives

[edit]

Stevens’ S.C. Williams Library houses the university's special collections, which contain the largest compendium of items relating to Frederick Winslow Taylor; prints, manuscripts in facsimile and books by and about Leonardo da Vinci;[74] and artwork by Alexander Calder, who studied at Stevens.[75][76] The other collection hallmark, the "Leonardo da Vinci Room," was donated by John W. Lieb, Class of 1880.

The library's archives also house Stevens family documents and artifacts from early American and New Jersey history dating to the American Revolutionary War.[77] The Hoboken Historical Museum hosted a six-month exhibition on the Stevens Family and their contributions to American life and featured many of the library's contents.[78]

Organization & Governance

[edit]

Governance & Administration

[edit]

The 7th and current president of Stevens is Nariman Farvardin, who was appointed by the institute's board of trustees in 2011 following the resignation of Harold J. Raveché and chairman of the board Lawrence Babbio Jr.[79] The board is currently chaired by Stephen T. Boswell, the former president and CEO of Boswell Engineering.[80] The board is responsible for the overall direction of the university. It consists of no fewer than 3 and no more than 42 members at any one time, with the president of the university serving as an ex officio member. It approves the operating and capital budgets, supervises the investment of the university's endowment, and oversees campus real estate and long-range physical planning. The trustees also exercise prior review and approval concerning changes in major policies such as those in instructional programs and admission as well as tuition and fees and the hiring of faculty members.[81]

The president also has a cabinet of 11 vice-presidents.[82] Furthermore, the president and board are advised by a 21-member group known as the Presidents Leadership Council, including Marques Brownlee.[83] The Provost is advised by 12-member Academic Council, including the deans for each of the schools and colleges.[84]

Stevens is composed of three academic schools: the Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering and Science, the School of Business, and the School of Humanitis Arts and Social Sciences.[85] Additionally, the university is home to the College of Online and Professional Education, which is focused on providing online education following a 25-year WebCampus program.[86][87]

Academic Affiliations

[edit]

Stevens is a member of National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and a founding-member of Association of Independent Technological Universities since 1957.[88] The Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE) serves as an acredidating body of Stevens since 1927.[89] For Engineering and Computer Science, ABET provides further accredidation.[90] In 1937, Stevens and Columbia were the first two engineering programs accredited.[91] Furthermore, the chemistry program at Stevens is accredited by American Chemical Society (ACS){,[91] undergraduate and graduate business programs are accredited by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB),[92][91] and project management programs are accredited by the Project Management Institute (PMI).[93][91]

Finances

[edit]

Stevens Tech reports an endowment of $319 million (per 2023 figures) which, over the last five-years, has grown by $112 million - including $63 million in donations.[94] According to Citizens Bank, the institute ranks as the 324th largest endowment in the United States with at least 100 undergraduates.[95] The endowment is about $66,000 per undergraduate student or $32,400 per student (graduate and undergraduate). A portion of the endowment, $475,000 as of 2020, is managed by the students in the Stevens Student Managed Investment Fund.[96]

Student Governance

[edit]

Stevens Institute of Technology is home to a long tradition of student leadership. The Stevens Student Government Association (SGA) is an undergraduate governing body that retains complete control over the allocation of the funds raised by the student activity fee, which is about $800,000 per semester as of 2020.[97][98] The SGA consists of a seven-person cabinet appointed by a president and vice-president of operations who are elected by the student body.[99] The Senate of the SGA consists of senators per 75-undergraduates in each school.[100]

The Honor Board is a student-run and student elected committee of the school, tasked with upholding the honor system and consulting on academic policies for the university.[101] It is overseen by a faculty-student panel. The primary function of the board is to process academic conduct cases.[102] The honor system was established in 1906 under the guidance of President Alexander Crombie Humphreys.[20]

Academics

[edit]

Colleges

[edit]

Stevens is composed of four academic schools: the Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering and Science, the School of Systems and Enterprises, the School of Business, and the School of Humanitis Arts and Social Sciences.[85] Stevens offers 35 undergraduate majors and has a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio.[103] Graduate offerings include 20 (plus three interdisciplinary) Ph.D. programs, 58 master's programs, 194 certificate programs and graduate-level offerings custom designed for corporations.[104]

Stevens offers the Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree.[103] At the graduate level, Stevens offers the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.), Master of Technology Management (M.T.M.), Master of Science (M.S.), Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.), Engineer (E.E., M.E., Comp. E., C.E. and Ch. E.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.[104]

Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Sciences (SES)

[edit]

In 1996, the school acquired its name from then chairman of the Board of Trustees, Charles V. Schaefer Jr., following a four-year $102 million fundrasing campaign.[105] Jean Zu is the current Dean of the school. The Schaefer school offers 15 bachelor's, 29 master's and 16 doctoral degrees with a variety of certificates in engineering and scientific disciplines for full-time students and part-time professionals.[106][107] As of 2022, the school is home to approximately 5,100 students and 194 faculty across 9 departments.[107][108]

Stevens Institute of Technology had a dual degree program in engineering with New York University until NYU acquired the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 2008. Since then, the Schaefer school has also launched a number of dual-degree programs with institutions such as Drew University,[109] Saint Peter's University,[110] and Montclair State University.[111] SES has joined nine NYC-area graduate engineering schools in Inter-University Engineering Doctoral Consortium (IUEDC) which beginning in Fall 2024 will allow students to take courses at each other's institutions without any additional tuition.[112]

School of Business (SSB)

[edit]

The School of Business offers certificates and undergraduate, master's, M.B.A. and doctoral degrees in a variety of technology management specialties.[113] The Stevens undergraduate program emphasizes mathematical business models, applications of hard science to the concept and marketing of products, financial engineering (stochastic calculus, probability and statistics as descriptors of the dynamic behavior of financial markets) and the case-study method of business analysis. The capstone project in the business curriculum is the design of a technology-based business, including an accompanying business plan, operations research, market analysis, financial prospectus, and risk analysis. Several projects have been developed into real companies.[113]

School of Humanities Arts & Social Sciences (HASS)

[edit]

The College of Arts and Letters (CAL) approaches the humanities, social sciences and the arts from a science and technology perspective. While every undergraduate at Stevens is required to take a set of humanities courses, CAL offers B.A. degrees in literature, history, philosophy and the social sciences. CAL was established as a separate college in 2007 as part of a larger institutional realignment. CAL's formation followed a history of integrating humanities and liberal arts education, which dates back to the university's founding in 1870.[114] In fall 2011, CAL began offering a new M.A. and graduate certificate in Technology, Policy and Ethics.[115] CAL also offers an accelerated, six-year combined bachelor's/J.D. degree program in partnership with New York Law School and Seton Hall University School of Law.[116] In July 2023, Stevens renamed CAL to the School of Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences.[117]

Cooperative education and career placement

[edit]

Undergraduate students may elect to follow the cooperative education program, usually extending their timeline from four to five years, to gain about 18 months of increasingly progressive work experience.[118] The program helps students confirm their choice of major, and clarify their interests and career goals while working in full-time, paid positions. Approximately 30% of undergraduate students follow this path while the remaining engage in research, externships or internships.

The combination of rigorous coursework and real-world application allows 73% of students to finalize their path prior to graduation, with 97% securing their intended outcomes within six months after graduation.[119] The average accepted salary across all majors for the Class of 2021 was $75,400, with a maximum of $90,600, from over 300 companies recruiting on campus.[120] Majors among those ranking the highest were computer science, computer engineering and software engineering. The value of a Stevens degree is often quantified through return on investment, in which the university ranks among the top in the United States.[121]

The research enterprise at Stevens features three national Centers of Excellence designated by the U.S. government: the National Center for Secure and Resilient (CSR) Maritime Commerce[122] and the National Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC).[123]

Stevens also features the Center for the Advancement of Secure Systems and Information Assurance (CASSIA),[124] dedicated to advancements in cybersecurity. The center was developed in response to Stevens' designations by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education for the academic years 2003 through 2014, and as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research for the years 2008 through 2013.[104]

The Center for Maritime Systems at Stevens works to preserve and secure America's maritime resources and assets.[125] The center includes the Davidson Laboratory, a research facility focused on physical modeling and computer simulation of marine craft designs. The lab houses a 313-foot-long wave tank capable of recreating a variety of wave types for maritime testing.[126] Work at the lab was dedicated to the war effort during World War II.[127] The facility is one of only two designated International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks in the United States.[104]

The Center for Maritime Systems contributed to the US Airways Flight 1549 Miracle on the Hudson recovery in 2009 by analyzing water currents to identify the best location to tow the plane and locate the plane's missing engine.[128]

The Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education (CIESE), part of the Schaefer School, provides expertise to improve K–12 science, mathematics, engineering and technology education, with the goal to increase the number of students pursuing STEM majors and careers in technological fields.[104] CIESE received the Presidential Award for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring in 2011.[129]

The Center for Environmental Systems (CES) develops environmental technologies through collaboration between faculty in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering, the Department of Defense, and private enterprise.[130] Principal research areas for CES include drinking water technologies, wastewater treatment, air pollution control, environmental systems modeling and monitoring, pollution prevention and minimization, and life-cycle assessment.[130]

The Highly Filled Materials Institute (HfMI) develops the theoretical, experimental, and numerical analysis techniques for providing solutions for the problems of the industrial processing, especially with twin-screw extrusion, of highly filled materials. HfMI research areas include extrusion, die and extruder design, crystallization, surface science, particle size analysis and rheology.[131]

The Center for Research toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT), co-led by Stevens and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is the first NSF-backed industry-university cooperative research center devoted specifically to financial technology and science. CRAFT is designed to create a community for industry to engage with university researchers to advance fintech innovation.[132]

Other research centers at Stevens are the Center for Complex Systems and Enterprises (CCSE), Center for Decision Technologies, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering, Center for Environmental Systems, MicroDevice Lab, Center for Healthcare Innovation, Center for Neuromechanics, Hanlon Financial Systems Center, Maritime Security Center, NJ Center for Microchemical Systems, STAR Center, Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and Systems Engineering Research Center.[133]

The U.S. Department of Energy invited Stevens to compete in the 2015 Solar Decathlon held at Orange County Great Park in Irvine, California, among 19 other universities. Stevens’ entry, SURE HOUSE, was inspired by Hurricane Sandy. A net-zero home resilient enough to withstand Hurricane-force winds and flooding, the entry won the competition. SURE HOUSE achieved a total score of 950.685, ranking first in architecture, market appeal, communications, appliances, engineering, commuting and home life. It also received second place in the comfort zone contest.

Stevens also competed as one of 20 teams in the 2013 Solar Decathlon, the first time the competition was held outside of Washington, D.C.[134] Stevens' independent entry, "Ecohabit," placed fourth overall and second among United States entries.[135]

Through a partnership with Parsons The New School for Design and Milano School of International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy, Stevens designed an affordable green home as part of the 2011 Solar Decathlon.[136] The entry, "Empowerhouse," won first place in affordability during the 2011 competition.[137] The team partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Washington, D.C., to provide the home to a low-income family in the Deanwood section of Washington at the conclusion of the competition.[136]

Entrepreneurship

[edit]

Stevens embraces a culture of entrepreneurship instilled in the institute from its founding family, who transformed their inventions into a number of successful enterprises like the first steam-driven locomotive. More recently, there have been significant sales of Stevens intellectual property, including PlasmaSol[138] and Hydroglobe.[139] The university's Office of Innovation and Entrepreneurship was established in 2008 to enhance scientific discoveries by facilitating technology transfer.[140]

ISTEM@Stevens is a four-year entrepreneurship coaching program for incoming first-year students. The program focuses not only on technology and innovation, but also the process required to transform the idea into a fully developed company or nonprofit. The curriculum includes both classes and independent studies.[141]

Launchpad@Stevens is a one-year program that gives undergraduate students the chance to learn about entrepreneurship and innovation alongside professionals who are building technology-based businesses.

Campus Culture and Honor System

The campus culture at Stevens Institute of Technology emphasizes intellectual rigor, innovation, and community engagement among its predominantly STEM-focused undergraduate population, with students participating in over 100 clubs spanning technical societies, cultural groups, and recreational activities such as clubs, gaming organizations, and teams. Greek life engages approximately 22% of undergraduates through 10 social fraternities, five sororities, and a Cultural Greek Council comprising organizations that promote cultural awareness and diversity, including service projects and leadership networking. Annual traditions reinforce , including the Duck Dance—a humorous involving ducks—the Flock Party welcoming new students, the Wittpenn Walk symbolizing perseverance, and events like Fall Fling and Family Day that foster intergenerational connections. These elements contribute to a vibrant yet demanding environment where student-led initiatives, such as and off-campus trips, support personal and professional growth amid a competitive academic atmosphere. Central to this culture is the Stevens , established in 1908, which imposes a student-enforced ethical standard on undergraduates to uphold in all academic endeavors, prohibiting , , and unauthorized collaboration while promoting peer . Students pledge adherence on exams and assignments, often without proctoring, relying on mutual trust that violations will be self-reported or identified through investigations by the student-run Honor Board, which presumes innocence and handles cases with faculty oversight but primary student jurisdiction. The system extends to graduate students via adapted codes, aiming to cultivate lifelong ethical habits, though enforcement has resulted in penalties ranging from course failures to expulsion in documented violations. This framework integrates into broader campus norms, reinforcing a culture of responsibility that aligns with the institution's ethos but requires ongoing through modules and workshops to maintain compliance.

Controversies and Criticisms

Academic Integrity and Cheating Scandals

Stevens Institute of Technology maintains a student-led Honor System for undergraduates, established to foster self-governance and ethical conduct, under which students pledge upon enrollment to uphold integrity in academic work, including unproctored examinations and self-reporting of violations. The system is enforced by the Honor Board, composed of elected student representatives, which investigates reported breaches such as cheating, plagiarism, or unauthorized collaboration, with penalties ranging from warnings to expulsion depending on severity. Graduate students adhere to a separate Code of Academic Integrity, prohibiting dishonesty in coursework, research, and assessments, with violations adjudicated by a dedicated board. No major academic integrity scandals involving widespread or institutional complicity have been documented in reputable news outlets or official records. Isolated violations occur periodically, as in many engineering-focused institutions where high-stakes coursework incentivizes shortcuts, but these are addressed internally through the Honor Board process, with student accounts indicating a handful of formal punishments annually in recent years. Online student forums have circulated unsubstantiated claims of recurrent incidents leading to of Stevens graduates by financial and defense employers, potentially reflecting anecdotal frustrations or competitive pressures rather than verified patterns, as no employer statements or investigative reports corroborate such exclusions. Recent discussions highlight emerging challenges with tools in assignments, prompting increased Honor Board scrutiny, though specific case outcomes remain confidential to protect . The system's emphasis on peer accountability aims to deter misconduct, aligning with Stevens' of trust and precision.

Administrative and Financial Issues

In September 2009, the filed a 16-count against Stevens Institute of Technology, its president Harold J. Raveché, and members of the board of trustees, alleging financial mismanagement including the improper use of restricted endowment funds for operating expenses, excessive , undocumented personal loans to Raveché totaling over $1 million, and failure to maintain adequate financial records. The suit claimed that Raveché's salary and bonuses had risen to $1.1 million by 2008, with the administration spending endowment gains—totaling a $155 million endowment—beyond board authorizations on non-capital projects, contributing to fiscal strain amid declining revenues. Raveché resigned as president in January 2010, and Stevens settled the case without admitting wrongdoing by implementing governance reforms such as enhanced board oversight of finances, restrictions on endowment spending, and independent audits. Following his resignation, Raveché received over $5.4 million from the institute between 2010 and 2012 in severance, , and other payments, drawing criticism for rewarding alleged mismanagement. In August 2025, Stevens abruptly laid off 45 staff members with one day's notice, attributing the cuts to reduced federal research funding and declining enrollment amid policy shifts from the Trump administration, including restrictions on visas and grants. These actions occurred against a backdrop of broader financial pressures, with the university's heavy dependence on international tuition—domestic students receive more aid—exacerbating vulnerabilities to enrollment fluctuations.

Impacts of Policy Changes and Enrollment Dependencies

Stevens Institute of Technology's enrollment has shown significant dependence on international students, who comprised 42% of the total student body of approximately 7,461 undergraduates and graduates as of spring 2025. This reliance stems from international students' full tuition payments, which help subsidize domestic enrollment and contribute substantially to revenue, with graduate programs—often attracting higher proportions of internationals—accounting for about 35% of projected annual revenue. Such dependency exposes the institution to fluctuations in global mobility and U.S. policies, as evidenced by enrollment instability in graduate cohorts amid broader national trends of declining college-age populations. Federal policy shifts under the Trump administration in 2025, including tightened restrictions and scrutiny of foreign student admissions, directly curtailed international inflows to Stevens, exacerbating enrollment declines particularly in graduate programs. Officials attributed these changes to reduced and fewer visa approvals, leading to a softening of operating performance as noted in credit rating analyses. In response, the institute implemented layoffs of 45 staff positions in August 2025, framing the cuts as necessary to address revenue shortfalls from diminished international enrollment. Critics have highlighted Stevens' vulnerability as part of a broader pattern among institutions heavily reliant on foreign tuition, positioning it among 16 private colleges at heightened risk of financial distress from such policy crackdowns. This over-dependence, without sufficient diversification of domestic recruitment or revenue streams, has drawn scrutiny for inadequate long-term planning, especially given prior growth in applications that masked underlying risks. While Stevens has pursued initiatives like tuition-free education for low-income undergraduates starting fall 2026 to bolster domestic appeal, these measures postdate the immediate enrollment shocks and do little to offset graduate-level dependencies.
