I am currently going to Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. I am currently pursing my Masters in Systems Engineering and I have a Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Management from Stevens too.

Here are some interesting facts about Stevens Institute of Technology:

· John.W.Lieb graduated from Stevens in 1880 and was an early assistant to Thomas Alva Edison. He received a number of patents for electrical devices. While stationed in Italy for Thomas Alva Edison, John.W.Lieb was fascinated by the unearthing of many of Leonardo da Vinci's papers, to the point that he obtained a set of the first copies of Leonardo's works. These copies were donated to Stevens and are now located in the S.C.Williams Library

· Robert.H.Thurston founded and became the first President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1880. The first meeting was held in the Edwin.A.Stevens Building here on campus

· Francis James Pond, Professor of Chemistry, solved the problem of the leaking Holland Tunnel (which runs under the Hudson River and connects New Jersey to New York). He told them to dump tons of lime from the surface of the Hudson River to fall on the top of the tunnel to form cement to fill in the cracks.

· DMI (Design and Manufacturing Institute) owns one of the world's first stereolithography machines.

· Frederick Winslow Taylor pioneered the concept of scientific management at Stevens.

· Arthur's Landing is named after a Trustee of Stevens Arthur Imperatore.

· Eugene McDermott, the cofounder of Texas Instruments was a Stevens graduate.

· Carnegie Mellon University is named after a Stevens graduate.

· Davidson Labs was one of the first floatation tanks of its kind in the world.

· The Gantt chart often used in Project Management was developed by Henry Gantt, Class of 1884.
