10 SES projects that show just how wide the range is this year: life-saving medical devices, AI-powered design tools, smarter ways to track loved ones and even a plan to turn cow manure into clean fuel.

L.I.N.C. (Lincoln Investigation and Navigation Cadet), the autonomous tunnel-monitoring robot designed and built by Stevens students for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's College Challenge.

In research labs, some types of knowledge — a published finding or a clean dataset — make it to the official record. Informal knowledge, like handwritten notes on inconclusive test runs or undocumented observations from failed experiments, can often be elusive. LabNinja, a lab intelligence platform, is designed to stop informal research knowledge from disappearing. 

Five Stevens biomedical engineering students have their eye on a solution for Alzheimer’s disease. Inspired by one teammate’s family experience, they have devoted their Innovation Expo project to developing SensiTear, a non-invasive screening device designed to stimulate tear fluid and analyze it for disease-linked biomarkers.

From the fruit of the oil palm tree, four Stevens seniors behind the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) from Palm Oil project envision a more sustainable future for flight.  The team — chemical engineering undergraduate students Christopher Oliveira, Robert Olson, and Aaron Wong, and environmental engineering undergraduate student Alexandra VanderVeer — point out what's at stake. 

Dealing with a healthcare situation that requires intravenous (IV) treatment can be stressful enough without complications such as tubing kinks, blockages, empty IV bags, irregular flow or false alarms. The system is designed to reduce IV therapy complications, improve clinical efficiency and enhance the patient experience.

Eight Stevens undergraduates presented original STEM research at the annual statewide competition — and one took home top honors. BME undergraduate student Evnika Myhovych received the award for Outstanding Presentation and Research, one of just three students recognized among 57 projects and more than 65 student presenters from across all 13 ICUNJ member institutions.

CEMS doctoral student Christopher Mbonu was recently selected as a 2026 PMSE Emerging Professional Awardee, which will be celebrated with a symposium at the 2026 ACS (American Chemical Society) Fall Meeting in Chicago, IL. The symposium will include presentations from Mbonu and 14 other talented awardees.

The Stevens Electric Boatworks team, led by CEOE Senior Research Associate Michael DeLorme, competed at the American Society of Naval Engineers Promoting Electric Propulsion (PEP) competition in Portsmouth, VA — earning a 3rd place finish in the manned planing division and fielding a newly designed vessel in the autonomous category.

Physicists show that atomic clocks can probe time ticking both faster and slower simultaneously, revealing how time itself unfolds in quantum superposition.

The new human-centered AI master’s program, launching Fall 2026, trains students in the combination Stevens believes this moment demands: deep technical skill grounded in human wisdom.
