YOU KNOW CAREERS ARE ALL ABOUT CONNECTIONS. BUT CONNECTIONS TO PEOPLE AREN’T EVEN THE HALF OF IT.

The fact is, employers seek out the talented few who connect on many levels. These people don’t

just connect far-flung professionals into functioning teams. They also link their part of a project with

the whole system, bridge the gap between technology and management, envision the connections

between wildly different phenomena in ways that make the world better.

Only the connection makers will thrive in tomorrow’s marketplace. To become one, you have to live

the connections—to learn in a place where convergence happens everywhere.

>> Few places converge quite like Stevens.

Not so long ago, graduate students studied their own discipline and little else. Academic departments operated in “silos,” and so did employers. Professionals made careers in one narrowly defined specialty.

The world, of course, is different today—which is why Stevens is different. From faculty collaboration to shared

facilities to major corporate partnerships, everything transcends traditional lines. The goal is simple: to ensure that

you succeed in a world where the lines no longer exist.

CONSIDER SOME CONNECTIONS YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER HERE:

CONNECTING SILOS. OBLITERATING WALLS.

> Our School of Systems and Enterprises—which

connects discipline to discipline, nano to macro, to

make complete systems work—is widely regarded as

the finest in the United States.

> We have devoted an entire school to educating

technology specialists in management—and vice

versa. By studying here, you become an expert in not

one, but two of the most sought-after disciplines in

business today.

> Yet another school has devoted itself to gathering

diverse experts—professors and graduate students—

around society’s most pressing issues. By studying

here, you’ll take part in the model that has emerged

as the predominant way to do business.

> Your peers at Stevens come from many points on

the business spectrum: you might study with people

from cybersecurity, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and

nanotechnology, to name a few areas.

> Because today’s most challenging problems know no

boundaries, neither do our faculty. Our cybersecurity

program, for instance, draws together Stevens’

electrical engineers, computer engineers, computer

scientists, physicists, and mathematicians. By coming

to Stevens, then, you learn how to think across

disciplines in a world that rewards such thinkers.

As you might expect in a world without boundaries, you

connect to Stevens in the way that makes sense for you:

online, at your workplace (if your organization is a corporate

partner—and many of the world’s leading organizations

are), or on our campus, minutes from Manhattan.

products from the tropical rainforest.

Yes, Stevens is home to some of the world’s most

advanced researchers. But here’s the important thing:

they bring their latest findings directly into their

classrooms. So as a Stevens student, you learn about

discoveries, skills, and techniques before the rest of

the world does.

That’s true no matter where you connect with Stevens.

The faculty bring precisely the same level of expertise

and effectiveness to on-campus, onsite, and online

courses. So you’re assured of an outstanding education

in the format most convenient for you.

And that quality of education is critical. When you

learn at the vanguard of knowledge, the vanguard

of knowledge becomes part of you. It is the kind of

extraordinary knowledge and talent that employers

so ardently seek.

Michael Pennotti Distinguished Service Professor SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

Not everyone would think to apply anti-submarine system design to business. Michael Pennotti did. After designing, analyzing, and improving three generations of the systems for the U.S. Navy at Bell Laboratories, he adapted the same principles to solve strategic issues at AT&T, Lucent Technologies, and Avaya. Among his many accomplishments at Stevens, he served as co-principal investigator of a major study to reduce the terrorist threat in the Port of New York and New Jersey. Today, as associate dean for professional programs and distinguished service professor, Pennotti directs Stevens’ graduate programs in systems engineering for government and industry partners across the country and around the world.

CONNECT THE WAY YOU WANT.

Of course you’d love to earn your master’s degree—and reap the rewards thereof. Only one small problem: you have a life.

That is why Stevens offers three distinct ways, with three convenient locations, for you to earn your degree:

so you can fit your studies into your other commitments. Choose the option that makes the most sense for you

(or combine them to fit your needs):

ONLINE. For many Stevens programs, you can earn your entire degree online, eliminating the commute and time

away from home. Our award-winning WebCampus program (http://webcampus.stevens.edu) enables you to study

on your own as well as attend live lectures, collaborate with other students, and participate in discussions—from

wherever you happen to be. WebCampus’s facility and ease of use have twice won it the highest award of the

United States Distance Learning Association.

ONSITE—YOUR SITE. Stevens courses may be in session right in your workplace, if you work for one of our

many corporate partners. You might learn from a Stevens professor in a workplace classroom, or participate in

a live video feed and work with virtual teams of colleagues. Either way, you’ll work directly with case studies,

examples, and problems that reflect your company’s emerging concerns.

ON CAMPUS. There’s a reason why the Stevens campus has such sweeping views of midtown Manhattan; we are

right across the river. NJ Transit, MTA and PATH make it a quick, convenient trip from points in New Jersey and

Manhattan to the Stevens campus in Hoboken.

Turn connections into breakthroughs. SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING & SCIENCE

As a student in SES, you live collaboration—and learn to thrive in a world without boundaries.

See if you detect a pattern here, and what it has

to do with you:

> The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has

designated Stevens a National Center of Excellence

in port security—the only one of its kind in the

United States.

> The Center for Environmental Systems is recognized

across the U.S. as a leader in new environmental

technologies.

> The School of Engineering & Science is actively

developing two new national centers as well: one

in nanotechnology, another in cybersecurity.

See the pattern? Nationally recognized research

centers, here at Stevens. But notice something else:

there is no single discipline named nanotechnology,

or cybersecurity. Here as everywhere else at Stevens,

convergence is king.

Aided by its smaller size and depth of individual faculty

research, the School continually brings groups of

professors and students together to address the world’s

critical issues. In the process, these groups don’t

just cross disciplinary boundaries; they nearly

obliterate them.

This dynamic takes place all over the School of

Engineering & Science. An emerging presence in

pharmaceuticals draws together disciplines from

chemistry to mechanical engineering. New faculty

bring the viewpoint of “translational medicine” into

biomedical engineering—enabling students to pursue

ideas from basic research to product launch. The

computer science faculty have the broad base of

knowledge necessary to collaborate across the

spectrum of science and engineering. All of this has

drawn attention, and collaboration, from the nation’s

most renowned universities.

Where do you come in? At the School of Engineering

& Science, the mission is to gather many diverse

minds around a specific problem. It is the way your

organization works—or will work. Which makes this

school the training ground for your future.

Nanotech at Stevens

Frank Fisher is a mechanical engineer, but that doesn’t begin to describe the scope of his research. The co-director of the Nanotechnology Graduate Program researches topics as diverse as polymer nanocomposites, nano/microscale energy scavenging, nanoscale characterization and manipulation, and bioinspired nanomaterials. His faculty colleagues, from no fewer than five Stevens departments, are no different. Under their tutelage, graduate students get a grounding in nanotechnology that is beyond thorough: they learn to synthesize and manufacture nanostructures, work with multiscale systems, design nanotechnology-enabled solutions—and seize commercial opportunities. When they graduate, they are fully equipped, not only to compete in one of the world’s fastest-growing fields, but to excel in it.

Connect the dots at the highest level. SCHOOL OF SYSTEMS & ENTERPRISES

What if you landed in one of engineering’s fastest-

growing fields, fully equipped with the knowledge to

succeed there—and a degree from one of the nation’s

largest and most recognized schools?

Welcome to the School of Systems & Enterprises. Its

very design ensures that your education is both relevant

and real-world. Industry and government sponsors like

the FAA, NASA, IBM, Sandia National Laboratories, and

Lockheed Martin ask the school’s recognized authorities

to train their managers and engineers. By working so

closely with these organizations, the faculty—and

their curricula—naturally focus on the realities in

the marketplace.

Especially the latest realities. Thanks to an open

academic model, a high volume of information flows

constantly among Stevens, its business collaborators,

and its government sponsors. As a result, what

happens on the ground today, at the FAA or IBM or

another industry partner, finds its way into the Stevens

curriculum—and into your education—simultaneously.

While systems engineering is the school’s largest

graduate program, it also offers a breadth of other

engineering and systems related programs. In

engineering management, you can explore the oversight

of engineering practices in industries from finance

to space exploration. In the new field of enterprise

systems, recognized industry leaders bring you emerging

developments and schools of thought.

The more current and relevant your education, the

greater your chances of success. That is why so many

of this School’s graduates succeed.

Financial Engineering at Stevens

Why would the director of financial engineering at Stevens study applications of wave propagation in elastic media? It all comes back to numbers—and convergence. Mathematics professor Khaldoun Khashanah applies his considerable expertise not just to materials, but to finance. In the process, he and other faculty turn graduate students into expert financial engineers, fully prepared to make informed, mathematics-based decisions about pricing, hedging, trading, and investment—the kind of decisions that drive growth in a volatile financial world. Students go in-depth on topics from econometrics to risk management to advanced derivatives. And none too soon: the pace of innovation in complex financial products has created an urgent need, and thus abundant opportunities, for financial engineers who can master them.

Pharma Management at Stevens

Ask pharmaceutical executives what they need in their management team, and you’ll inevitably hear the word “cross.” Cross-industry. Cross-cultural. Cross-disciplinary. Put simply, today’s pharma manager must not only understand the entire value chain—drug discovery to retail marketing—but speak the language of every link. For this reason, the concentration in pharmaceutical management draws all aspects of management into one point of convergence. Students learn to manage R&D, manufacturing, sales, the supply chain, and compliance by grappling with current issues. They also learn from people who’ve been there: the faculty have led change in the industry, and program alumni hold senior positions in every major pharmaceutical company in the world.

In today’s workplace, you need another set of skills

to go with your current set. Specifically, technology

professionals need to know management; managers

need to know technology.

One Stevens school equips you to master both.

Like its counterparts, the School of Technology

Management is designed to connect you to the diverse

skills and resources you’ll need in the ever-evolving

workforce. Your classmates will hail from multiple levels

of management and engineering in all types of fields,

from biomedicine to defense to robotics. Your professors

will be practitioners of the skills they teach—in Fortune

500 companies and federal government agencies.

The result: a two-year, hands-on experience resolving

the most common, and the most complex, problems

in technology management today. It would be difficult

to come away from that discussion and not excel

in leadership.
