I
agree with the commenter that Stevens is under-rated in the
general press. Stevens apparently doesn't have the public relations budget
that other peer schools have, however, its academics are up
there with the best of the best. It's an engineering
academy, and somewhat of a 'boot camp' in terms of
the rigor and workload. Despite being a good student in
high school, I had to really work hard just to
keep my head above the water the first year. I
noticed the previous commenter's remark about the school being “military
orientated (sic)”. Schools are going to go where the money
is for research grants. For better or worse, the United
States is significantly increasing its defense-related R&D budget in response
to the new threats of terrorism. Stevens, with its well-honed
expertise in communications, chemical, and biological sciences has had great
success in garnering government grants in those areas. This is
not unique to Stevens. The current reputation of M.I.T was
gotten largely due to its acquisition of War Department (now
Department of Defense) research grants during World War II, particularly
in the areas of radar, secret communications systems, and to
a lesser extent the atomic bomb. They saw where the
money was at that time and went after it. They
also saw the opportunity to expand their name recognition. Stevens
is following in those footsteps today, and you can hardly
blame it for doing so.
