When inventor Edwin A. Stevens died in 1868, his will provided for the estab-lishment of the university that now bears his family’s name. Two years later, in 1870, Stevens Institute of Technology opened, offering a rigorous engineering curriculum leading to the degree of Mechanical Engineer following a course of study firmly grounded both in scientific principles and the humanities.

Over subsequent decades, Stevens grew by leaps and bounds, evolving from a relatively small four-year undergraduate college of engineering into a leading global technical university with particular strengths in key fields such as defense, maritime engineering, management and finance. The university produced two Nobel Prize winners and countless new technologies, including a new process for producing synthetic penicillin.

In 1971, Stevens opened its doors to women for the first time. In 1982, Stevens became the first major U.S. educational institution to require students to pur-chase and use personal computers in the classroom. At approximately this same time, Stevens also developed one of the nation’s first intranets, foretelling a revolution in information technology.

Today Stevens continues to grow, expanding enrollment, facilities and research programs. The university’s collaborations with industry and government include three National Centers of Excellence, designations from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense and Office of Naval Research.

Stevens faculty and alumni continue to make a significant impact globally, build-ing upon the legacy of its founding family.

Stevens Institute of Technology is named for the distinguished family known as “America’s First Family of Inventors.” The Stevens family changed the face of American engineering forever, designing steamboats, locomotives, railroad tracks and a host of other technical innovations that

powered a new nation.

Jean Zu

Commencement Speaker

An accomplished scholar of mechanical vibrations and dynamics and mechatronics, Dr. Jean Zu is the newest member of the academic leadership at Stevens Institute of

Technology. She began her appointment as dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering & Science (SES) on May 1, 2017. Dr. Zu’s appointment followed an extensive international search process.

As dean of SES, she will oversee a school comprising more than 170 faculty members and eight departments that serve both undergraduate and graduate students, offering more than 50 academic programs and majors.

Dr. Zu brings to Stevens a distinguished record of lead-ership in the engineering community. Her 30-year career in academia began at Tsinghua University in China, where she served as a lecturer and researcher.

She joined the University of Toronto in 1994 as a fac-ulty member in the mechanical and industrial engi-neering department. In 2009, she made history at that university by becoming the first woman to be appointed chair of the department of mechanical and industrial engineering, a role she served until this year.

Dr. Zu’s contributions to her profession are considerable. She has worked extensively to raise both awareness and funding for engineering programs at the University of Toronto and across Canada. She served as president of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) from 2012 to 2014, and is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Canadian Society of Mechanical Engineering (CSME).

The academic gown and hood dates back to the early 14th century in England. In 1895, representatives of American colleges and universities met at Columbia University and prepared a code regulating the design and wearing of academic

dress in this country. The code was revised in 1932 and again in 1960.

Each member in the procession wears the hood designating the college last attended and degree last received. The hood is worn over the shoulders

and is lined with the official color or colors of the college attended. The color on the edging of the hood, a strip of velvet or velveteen about

two inches wide, indicates the major field of study.

Some of the trimming colors that you will see today include:

Engineering, orange

Science, golden yellow

Humanities, white

Business, drab

Medicine, green

Economics, copper

Social Science, citron

Environmental Science, antique gold

Philosophy, dark blue

Music, pink

Law, purple

Fine Arts, brown

Many of our students will also be wearing a number of other items such as cords and stoles. These represent the many fraternal

organizations and clubs that each student is a member.
