Stevens Institute of Technology
AC-3: Undergraduate Program

Environmental engineering has traditionally been taught as a branch of civil engineering concerned with the supply of safe drinking water and the sanitary disposal of municipal waste. The field has expanded in recent years to include many new areas, such as the treatment of industrial and hazardous wastes, the prediction of the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment, and the design of systems for remediation of sites contaminated with hazardous wastes. Furthermore, the field continues to grow into new directions such as sustainability and green engineering. These changes have placed new demands on engineers to understand the fundamental environmental transformation processes that describe natural and engineered systems for which this program is designed to prepare our students.

The environmental engineering bachelor’s program at Stevens has a strong foundation in process design, using material balance and reactor theory to integrate principles of physicochemical equilibrium and chemical and microbial kinetics to design treatment processes and analyze phenomena in the environment.

The program offers flexible courses that give you a broader study of environmental biology than other universities by including microbiology, ecology, and toxicology.

This undergraduate program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

Civil engineering is one of the most visible technical fields that draws on aspects of physics, mathematics, project management and many other areas. In addition to planning, designing and supervising the construction of public facilities - skyscrapers, roads, bridges, ports, irrigation systems and more - civil engineers are also involved in business, managing natural resources, addressing climate hazards and modern societal challenges of all kinds.

At Stevens, students pursue a broad-based curriculum that provides a firm foundation in engineering, as well as substantial experience in the humanities and business engineering management. Within the sequences of civil engineering courses, students have the flexibility to concentrate in structural, geotechnical, water resources and environmental engineering or construction management. Students thoroughly explore mechanics, and develop a strong foundation in science, mathematics and computation.

Students also receive hands-on, industry experience through senior design projects, co-ops, and study abroad programs. Studying in the heart of the tri-state area, students are surrounded by modern marvels of civil engineering, as well as some of the top firms in the field. Partnerships with industrial firms, engineering consulting firms and construction contractors in the public and private sector, as well as various government agencies, offer an array of opportunities to connect with the real-world of civil engineering.

From gadgets to medical devices, to vehicles on land, air, space, and sea, to power plants and industrial machines, and engines to robots – mechanical engineers design and manufacture systems or parts for nearly every product manufactured throughout the world. The mechanical engineering bachelor's program at Stevens offers a broad background in engineering and the liberal arts, with the technical skills needed to support the design, testing, and manufacture of products, systems, and devices.

As the first university to offer a mechanical engineering degree in the U.S., the mechanical engineering program at Stevens strives to educate the complete engineer. Classroom instruction and hands-on lab work come together to give you a thorough education on scientific and engineering proficiency, along with the values of professionalism, leadership, entrepreneurship, and ethics.

Our program emphasizes extensive training in communication, learning how to effectively present technical information orally, visually, and in written form, and encourages you to collaborate with your peers and faculty on a wide range of real world projects.

The Bachelor of Engineering program in mechanical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.

The chemical engineering bachelor’s program educates you to become a future technological leader through in-depth training on conception, synthesis, design, testing, scale-up, operation, control and optimization of industrial chemical processes that impact our well-being.

The chemical engineering bachelor’s program provides a foundation in chemical engineering science and experimentation, the use of modern computational tools such as ASPEN software for the simulation of chemical reactors and separators, and design and research experience with a faculty member to prepare you for the chemical engineering practice. A specialized, eight-semester design sequence sets this program apart, culminating in the last three semesters with chemical engineering design projects which are both experimental and computational.

This undergraduate program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

Our highly regarded engineering program includes a concentration in naval engineering. Deeply embedded in marine and oceanographic engineering, the naval engineering concentration focuses on the study of surface and subsurface ships, aircraft, ocean structures and shore facilities used by the U.S. Navy.

The program focuses on development of physical science, mathematics and modeling skills as well as specialized knowledge in naval architecture, marine engineering, systems engineering and environmental engineering. Expert professors and state-of-the-art facilities train you to design, build, operate and maintain ships and other waterborne vessels and oceanographic technology.

Located across the Hudson River from New York City, the epicenter of ship design and harbor operations, Stevens collaborates with government and private companies in design and testing, ensuring that you get the technical knowledge and practical experience necessary to thrive in the professional world.

You will also have access to the renowned Davidson Laboratory, a nationally-recognized center for maritime design research that attracts external organizations to use its towing tank and wave tank.

The bachelor of engineering program in engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET.
