EMTM 3 - Class of 1997 |
Stevens faculty represent a unique blend of academic insight and real world industrial experience. As judged by measures such as publications and awards, Stevens faculty truly stand out. The school's ranking among the Top 10 in the nation by the Journal of Product Innovation Management for Technology Management Research reflects a commitment to academic excellence that carries over to the material taught in the classroom. Many of the senior faculty occupied senior management positions in high-technology corporations, such as AT&T, Becton Dickinson, and Exxon Mobil among others, including venture capital organizations and thus bring insights that reflect the demands and realities of the corporate environment. This combination, reinforced by guest speakers from industrial practitioners, brings a practical relevance to the classroom experience that is not easily duplicated in other programs.
