Stevens Institute of Technology prides itself on its collaborative,
entrepreneurial R&D-and-learning environment, called Technogenesis.
Technogenesis is the intellectual frontier, pioneered
by Stevens, where faculty, students and industry
jointly nurture research technology concepts to
commercialization. It is more than traditional
technology transfer; it is part of the Stevens
educational experience and creates a climate of
innovation and enterprise across the campus.
At Stevens, examples abound of students,
professors and companies working together
– researching, developing and launching new
businesses based on the intellectual property of the
institute in concert with its external partners.
Dr.Vikki Hazelwood, a professor in the Chemistry,
Chemical Biology and Biomedical Engineering
Department, is expert at shepherding projects
through the Technogenesis process. She brings
together engineering researchers and clinical care
providers to successfully move these projects “from
bench-top to bedside.”
Along the way, “I work with the students and
make sure they collaborate with the physicians. Their worlds are so
different, they have to learn to communicate,” she says.
One of revolutionary products she has been working on with students
eliminates unnecessary surgery by finding the overlooked source of back
and neck pain. The product, which has been featured on CBS-TV, NBC’s
Today Show and ABC’s Good Morning America, is the basis for the
Technogenesis start-up company, SPOC, Inc., which is now headquartered
in Stamford, Conn.
SPOC was formed in 2005 by the office now overseen by Stevens’ vice
president for Enterprise Development & Licensing. The co-founders are the
technology inventors, Dr. Norman Marcus, a leading expert in the field of
pain management, and biomed engineering undergrads Jeckin Shah, Ryan
Stellar and Daniel Silva. SPOC was conceived at Stevens as a senior design
project in Hazelwood’s Biomedical Engineering senior-design class.
SPOC incorporates two technologies, one of clinical methodology and
one of device technology, for a combined diagnostic package that allows
for a revolution in the accuracy and precision of muscle pain diagnosis. In
2008, the SPOC device received FDA 510K clearance for manufacture and
marketing as a clinical device. Final FDA approval for use of the device as a
diagnostic tool is pending. The potential market for the device is ultimately
in the region of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Technogenesis reached a commercialization plateau during 2005. That
year saw the first sale of a Technogenesis start-up company, HydroGlobe,
which developed water-filtration technologies to remove toxic metals
from drinking water. It was sold to Graver Technologies, part of the global
Marmon Group, for $5 million plus a royalty fee and ongoing royalties. The
HydroGlobe technology has since found its way into the most commonly
used household water filtration devices.
In December 2005, Stevens’ officials concluded the $17.5-million
acquisition of the Technogenesis startup PlasmaSol by Stryker Corporation.
Stryker’s initial plans were to use
PlasmaSol’s non-thermal plasma
technology to sterilize medical devices,
among other potential biomedical
applications. Also in 2005, Stevens
launched four new Technogenesis
startup companies including Atilla
Technologies. These acquisitions and
startups were a major affirmation of
Stevens’ vision of Technogenesis.
For a technology to prove successful,
it must have unique, patent-protected
attributes that give it a competitive
advantage. To identify and manage
promising new technologies, Stevens
hired in 2008 a new vice resident for the
Research Enterprise, Dr. Joseph Mitola
III; created a post for an associate
provost of Academic Entrepreneurship,
occupied by longtime Stevens
researcher and entrepreneur, Dr. Christos Christodoulatos;
and in June 2009 hired Malcolm
Kahn as vice president for Enterprise
Development & Licensing.
In this capacity, Kahn will be
responsible for the full cycle of
business development at Stevens,
from helping researchers and staff
identify markets and technology
applications, to the spawning,
development and funding
of Stevens’ Technogenesis®
Companies. He will also be
working on establishing a
New Jersey’s Technogenesis®

spirit of “Technogenesis®
.”The
word is a registered trademark
of Stevens, defining the highly
entrepreneurial research and
education environment that
encompasses collaboration by
students, faculty and industry
partners,who work together to
advance laboratory concepts
toward significant marketplace
applications.
Dr.Christos Christodoulatos,
associate provost forAcademic
Entrepreneurship and director
oftheCenterforEnvironmental
Systems, believes Stevens has
been quite successful in differentiating itself from other academic institutions.
“While most science and engineering schools emphasize research and education, Stevens
places equal weight on entrepreneurship,” said Christodoulatos.
This is the essence of
Technogenesis: Students not
only learn to develop new
technologies, they create
innovationsthathavepractical
uses. Stevens’ success in
inculcating these values is
one of the reasons that Forbes
magazine ranked it third
among 189 colleges for return
on research investment.
The Department of
Defense’s only university-
affiliated research center in the
field, the Systems Engineering
Fromtheinvisiblemicrocosmofnano-engineering
to the burgeoning macrocosm of complex space-
based systems, educational offerings at Stevens
Institute of Technology are among the most
forward looking in the United States.
Stevens’ location — along the Hudson River,
across from the finance and business capital
of the world, New York City — as well as
its highly selective admissions policy and its
healthy student-to-faculty ratio impart a rare
agility to the institution, allowing for the swift
adoption and perfection of relevant, cutting-
edge curricula.
The innovative Stevens undergraduate
programs launched in this century include
Biomedical Engineering, Business & Technology
Management, and Cyber Security. The university
has now instituted an undergraduate minor
in Green Engineering, carrying forward the
pioneering commitment to environmental quality
for which Stevens is renowned.
In 2007 Stevens initiated two new schools
at its Hoboken campus — the first, the School
of Systems & Enterprises (SSE), followed by the
College of Arts & Letters. SSE is the outgrowth of
the Stevens Department of Systems Engineering
& Engineering Management, which grew with
rapid success to become one of the largest such
programs in the United States after its formation
in 2000. SSE provides exclusive professional
courses at home and abroad, serving industry
and government agencies in the United States,
Europe, South Asia, and the Far East.
The school also provides advanced systems
engineering education to the United States’
National Security Agency, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),
among other agencies.
The Stevens College of Arts & Letters was
founded in recognition of the importance of
the arts and humanities in the spectrum of
technological studies. Programs in Art, Music
& Technology and the History & Philosophy of
Science are now permanent features of the
university’s undergraduate curriculum.
Pioneering Global Education
Stevens provides an award-winning online
education component, WebCampus.Stevens.edu,
which reaches students around the world with
dozens of rigorous graduate courses in science,
engineering, and systems and technology
management.
Stevens has also been successful in delivering
graduate courses in China. These courses are
delivered partly online and partly on-site and are
presented in collaboration with the Beijing
Institute of Technology and the Central
University of Finance and Economics.

a university outside the United States based on
the Stevens model, is located in Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic, and is strongly endorsed by
that nation’s innovative president.
President Harold J. Raveché of Stevens
Institute of Technology has also initiated talks
with the South Korean government to establish
a university on the Stevens model in the fast-
expanding port city of Pyeongtaek, located just
southwest of Seoul.
Founded in 1870 on a 55-acre estate in
Hoboken,N.J.,Stevens Institute ofTechnology has
growntobecomeoneoftheleadingtechnological
universities in the world dedicated to learning
and research. It offers broad-based curricula
designed to nurture creative inventiveness and
cross-disciplinary communities.
Stevens is in the forefront of global challenges
in engineering, science, complex systems,
and technology management. Partnerships
and collaborations with business, industry,
government, and other universities contribute to
the enriched environment at Stevens.
In addition, Technogenesis®, the mature
model created by Stevens for technology
commercialization in academe, involves
external partners working with undergraduates
and faculty to develop and launch technology
enterprises that create broad opportunities and
shared value.
In recognition of its continuing successes,
Stevens has been ranked by Forbes.com at No. 3
among 189 U.S. research universities for the high
percentage of return on its research investment.
National Centers of Excellence on
the Hudson
Stevens received an award in 2008 as the
first Department of Defense-funded University
Affiliated Research Center (UARC) focused on
Systems Engineering Research, embodied in
Stevens’ Systems Engineering Research Center
(SERC), which will be based both in Hoboken
and at a strategically located headquarters in
Washington, D.C. Stevens’ principal partner in the
SERC is the University of Southern California.
Also in 2008, Stevens was chosen by the
Department of Homeland Security as one of
11 U.S. research universities to establish five
National Centers of Excellence in Homeland
Security Research. Based on this designation,
Stevens has established the Center for Secure
and Resilient Maritime Systems, with a variety
of university and industry partners pursuing
significant research.
This year, Stevens was re-designated as a
National Center of Academic Excellence in
Information Assurance Education by the National
Security Agency (NSA) for the academic years
2009-2014.Stevens is among the first universities
in the U.S. to be

The spirit of
entrepreneurialism
that invigorates
all aspects of the
environment at Stevens
is a vibrant legacy of the Stevens family, whose
members played key leadership roles in both
the American War of Independence and the
American Industrial Revolution. Their concept of
an intensive, broad-based technology education,
meant to create highly competitive leaders for
American industry, is enshrined at the university
that Edwin A. Stevens bequeathed to the nation.
At the dawn of the 21st century, that spirit
emboldens young leaders to tackle the next
American century of globally based competition.
Innovating Cross-Disciplinary
Communities
In 2007, leaders at Stevens propounded a long-
range Strategic Positioning Plan that serves as a
topographical guide to the “New University of
the global-technological era.” The establishment
of “communities of creative enterprise” across
the spectrum of disciplines is the centerpiece
of this plan. The continued growth of Stevens
as a graduate research institution is also
carefully balanced with the recognition that
the undergraduate engineering program is the
university’s beating heart, which nourishes all
the other endeavors.
The Strategic Positioning Plan identifies three
major focus areas of education and research
for the next century — complex systems and
enterprise management and architecture;
security technologies, including for maritime,
cyber, information, and communications
networks; and multi-scale engineering, science,
and technology.
Cross-disciplinary communities of faculty,
students, and external industry partners are
already performing strongly in each of these
focus areas.
Goingforward,Stevenswillcontinuetoexecute
the bold mission bequeathed by its founder: “To
prepare extraordinary young leaders to master
the challenges of new technologies,new markets,
and new ways of thinking and competing in a
constantly changing global landscape.”

Research Center (SERC) is located at Stevens.
Dinesh Verma, dean of the School of Systems
and Enterprises, spoke about the center and
its applications for systems engineering.
“Systems engineering is a practice-
oriented field that has been starved of
fundamental research,” said Verma. “SERC
is collaborating with 17 other universities
to fill in the blanks. Our vision is to develop
transformational systems engineering
methods, processes and tools.”
Michael Bruno, dean of the School of
Engineering & Science, described the Stevens
National Center of Secure and Resilient
MaritimeCommerceandCoastalEnvironment
(CSR). Its mission is to improve port and
coast security and emergency response when
faced with natural hazards and terrorists.
More than 100 professionals are involved in
CSR’s projects.
“The organization has developed a layered
approach to maritime domain awareness,”
said Bruno.“This involves integrating different
types of sensors to provide a clear picture of
harbor activities, day or night, above or under
the water.”
The center also is launching a program
to improve harbor resiliency, so that its
infrastructure can continue to provide goods
or services despite a natural disaster or
terrorist attack.

If you own or operate
contaminated real estate in
New Jersey, is it possible to
cleanup the property without the State
of New Jersey’s direct oversight, that is,
on a private basis?
Yes. On May 7, 2009, a new
law was passed in New Jersey
known as the “New Jersey Site
Remediation Reform Act.” Prior to this
new legislation, virtually all remediation
cases in New Jersey required some form
of direct oversight involving the New
Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (“NJDEP”). However, under
the new law, many remediation efforts
could be implemented without direct
NJDEP oversight. In short, the new law
encourages environmental consultants to
pursue licensure and certification under
NJDEP’snewprivatizationprogram. Inturn,
owners and operators of contaminated
property may now retain certified
consultants to perform the investigation
and remediation work in conformance
with NJDEP’s requirements. Under NJDEP’s
existing program, historically the State
would review a consultant’s proposal for
approval, and frequently respond in whole
or in part with deficiencies or an approval.
In contrast, the new law permits the
consultant, not the State, to certify that the
property meets applicable standards. This
new legislation is intended to streamline
the process, and reduce the time of the
overall remediation process.

Survey Results Highlights:
Business Climate: U.S. companies are more radically affected, with 69 percent sharing a pessimistic
outlook while Canadian companies ranked consistently more optimistic relative to the rest of the
world. A strong group (30 percent) in the EU/AAAME remain somewhat confident in their local
economies.
Key Technology Trends: Microsoft App. Dev. remains strong in the U.S., but is losing ground in
Canada and EU/AAAME. In 2008, there was a clear emergence for Open Source as well as Mobile
and Wireless Solutions as strategic technologies.
Strategic Focus: In 2008, all regions focused on fairly the same strategies, with increased
attention to sales (ranking as priority from 35 to 55 percent over past three years). Ease of use
and new product areas remained strong priorities (55-60 percent range) over the same period,
demonstrating that innovation in the IT industry remains crucial during crises.
Revenue Growth and Exports: Revenue growth was slightly faster in the U.S. and Canada, but
much faster in EU/AAAME.
Financing: The following trends emerged: Companies in EU/AAAME are relatively stable over
past two years, tapping various capital sources, but with a focus on private investment which
represents 50 percent of their capital. Personal investment has decreased radically in North
America, especially in Canada where it went from 85 to 36 percent, indicating the significant
indebtedness of IT industry owners is putting pressure on their company’s capitalization. U.S. firms
have increased reliance on friends and family in lieu of VC and personal financing.
“The exceptional degree of globalization in IT firms is also a factor explaining their similarities
in strategic focus,” Gagnon added. “While national and regional differences remain, with IT
industry executives becoming more cautious (and more pessimistic in the case of US firms), the
potential for growth and the stability of technology, market, and financial trends provide a positive
context for continued development.”
