Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering (Concentration in Naval Engineering)

The naval engineering concentration within the engineering program is a broad-based discipline that involves the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of surface and subsurface ships, ocean structures, and shore facilities. Although these vessels and facilities are traditionally employed in the defense of the nation, many are also employed in the support of the civilian (commercial) Marine Transportation System. Because of the complexities of today’s naval and civilian vessels and supporting infrastructure, the naval engineer must possess a strong background in the physical sciences, mathematics, and modeling, as well as the more specialized fields of naval architecture, marine engineering, systems engineering, and environmental engineering.

Engineering Program Mission, Objectives, and Student Outcomes

The mission of the engineering program with a concentration in naval engineering at Stevens is to develop innovative engineers capable of international leadership in the profession. The educational program emphasizes design innovation, trans-disciplinary study, a systems perspective on complex ship and infrastructure designs, lifelong learning, and opportunities for international study and internships. As is the case for the other Stevens engineering programs, the engineering program includes a broad-based core engineering curriculum and a substantial experience in the humanities.

The objectives of the engineering program are provided in terms of our expectations for our graduates. Within several years of graduation,

Graduates of the engineering program will be recognized as being among “the best in the business” by their peers in technical disciplines that engineering graduates are engaged in. They will leverage their broad engineering background to continuously expand their areas of expertise.

Graduates of our program will professionally enhance their workplace through multidisciplinary collaboration, teamwork and leadership.

Graduates of our program will maintain exemplary sensitivity to social factors including the environmental, historical, legal, political, policy, economic, ethical and public relations aspects of problems in various engineering disciplines.

Student Outcomes - By the time of graduation, engineering students with a concentration in naval engineering will have:

an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics

an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors

an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences

an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts

an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives

an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions

an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

a fundamental knowledge and an appreciation of the technology and business processes necessary to nurture new technologies from concept to commercialization.
