Over 140 Years of Inventors and Entrepreneurs
Shaping Our Future

Stevens is accelerating into the future. The school now boasts three National Research Centers. Enrollment is at an all-time high, and so is research. In the past two years alone, faculty research funding by the National Science Foundation has increased five-fold. More patents for student and faculty projects are issued every year as the school continues a tradition of entrepreneurship that has defined Stevens since 1870. A number of Stevens Startups have been spun out, with such innovative projects as:

• CADeyes, a low-cost mobile mapping scanner using a combination of LIDAR and advanced High-Definition cameras.
• Seahorse Power, LLC., an offshore ocean energy technology company whose Wave Energy Harnessing Device (WEHD) not only converts ocean wave energy into electricity, but also tunes waves to increase the electricity production capabilities by four times over first generation systems.
• SPOC, whose patent pending Muscle Pain Detection Device (MPDD) and patented treatment technology allows medical professionals and trainers to quickly identify the specific muscle(s) [myofascial trigger points] that are most often the true cause of back and neck pain. 

Per aspera ad astra

The Institute's motto, meaning through adversity to the stars, is as applicable today as it was over 140 years ago.

Founded as a school of Mechanical Engineering, the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science at Stevens Institute of Technology has grown to incorporate engineering and science graduate and undergraduate programs, all with specialized areas of concentration.

Stevens atmosphere of innovation and entrepreneurship has led to some remarkable accomplishments.
