The Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management - II

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

    Business success in the 21st century is increasingly dependent on the strategic development and utilization of technology. This is a complex challenge since the solutions to many business problems rely on the convergence of a number of technologies and their proper alignment with customer requirements and various other business elements.

    To meet this challenge, The Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management at Stevens has designed a unique undergraduate program, specifically designed to teach students both business and technology in an integrated fashion. This program combines a traditional business curriculum with the most recent elements of technology to satisfy the growing corporate demand for professionals who are effective as liaisons between business and technology units. The innovative "corporate-defined" curriculum of this bachelor’s degree program has a strong, broad base of computer science, science, economics, finance, marketing and mathematics, plus a business plan spine.

    Since this is a lock-step program, all courses for the Business program need to be taken in the proper sequence. In addition, it is anticipated that students participate in an internship, ideally at the same company during each of the summers between their academic years. These internships typically form the basis for their final business plan, required for BT 402

Internship/Electives

    Students may select to do an internship at their Curriculum Partner Company for 2.5 days a week for the entire semester. A company manager and a Stevens faculty member supervise them. The internships culminate in written and oral reports delivered to representatives from the companies, Stevens faculty and other students in the class. Projects are selected by the company and approved by Stevens faculty. Intern projects must contain some significant creativity or development component.

    Alternatively, during the senior year students may select up to three electives (9 credits) within a chosen area of interest and write a proposal to conduct an independent study that leads to a senior thesis. The student must convince a faculty member of the importance of the subject and convince that faculty member to act as a thesis advisor.

    Areas of consideration might include Biomedical Products and Technology, Entrepreneurship, E-business, Technology Marketing, Financial Services, Information and Network Systems, etc.
