A Tech Forward Education
Because co-op is over such a long period of time, you truly understand what it means to be a full-time employee. You have ownership for your work and over more than just one project. I truly cannot advocate more for the co-op program. The hands-on experience was invaluable for helping me really understand what I was learning in the classroom. Stevens really prepared me for where I am in life.
Allison Buffenbarger
Electrical Engineering Graduate
What attracted me to Stevens is actually their engineering program and what they offer. And it's amazing how you get so many hands-on experiences with all these different projects and designs. Each curriculum for freshman, sophomore, junior and senior year, you dive into just so many different parts of engineering.

The majority of my career success is thanks to Stevens and the organizations on campus. The Stevens Technical Enrichment Program helped immensely. From joining the Co-op Program and doing three amazing rotations, to attending national conferences with organizations like the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, I was able to network and receive the professional development I needed.
Piotr Zelazny
Electrical Engineering Graduate
The Stevens culture — more so than any particular I've taken — played a role in my senior design project's success. Stevens really does encourage these interdisciplinary projects that challenge you to learn new things or apply what you’ve learned in new ways.
