THE STEVENS MOTTO
To inspire, nurture
and educate leaders
in tomorrow’s
technology-centric
environment while
contributing to the
solution of the
most challenging
problems of our time.
HISTORY OF STEVENS
S
tevens 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.
When inventor Edwin A. Stevens died in 1868, his will provided for the establishment 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 institution 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 purchase
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, building
upon the legacy of its founding family.

Commencement Speaker
Robert E. Fischell
S
cientist and engineer Dr. Robert Fischell has had
two pioneering careers: his current one inventing
life-saving medical devices, and a former one
helping create the modern satellite system
that is so critical to communications, entertainment,
business and national security.
He began his professional life with the U.S. Naval
Ordnance Lab as a civilian engineer. After five years,
Dr. Fischell accepted a position at the Johns Hopkins
University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), where
he worked for more than 30 years. As chief engineer
and associate director of the lab’s space department, he
helped create some 50 satellites, including the precursor of the Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) now used
worldwide as a location-finder. He concluded his career
at APL in 1997 as chief of technology transfer, a department that focuses on transferring space technology to
the design of medical devices.
Dr. Fischell would go on to become one of the nation’s
most prolific inventors, acquiring more than 200 U.S.
and international patents. He is a revolutionary pioneer
of medical instruments and is known as the father of
modern medical stents, lifetime pacemaker batteries
and implantable insulin pumps.
In 2001 Dr. Fischell founded Angel Medical Systems
Inc., a medical device company that develops and
manufactures cardiac monitoring and alerting systems.
Angel Medical is one of more than half a dozen companies, including Pacesetter Systems, IsoStent, NeuroPace and NeuraLieve, that Dr. Fischell has founded
since 1969 to develop life-changing and life-saving
inventions, including an implantable device for ending
epileptic seizures and a magnetic pulse device that
stops migraine headaches.
Dr. Fischell is an active member of the University of
Maryland community. He joined the A. James Clark
School of Engineering in 2003 as Professor of the
Practice in the school’s mechanical engineering department. He also serves on the Clark School’s Board of
Visitors and as a trustee of the University of Maryland, College Park Foundation. In 2005, the University
of Maryland established the Fischell Department of
Bioengineering and the Robert E. Fischell Institute for
Biomedical Devices, thanks to a $31 million transformational gift by Dr. Fischell and his family.
Dr. Fischell is a member of the National Academy of
Engineering and has received numerous awards and
other recognition for his contributions to the field
of biomedical technology, including the Intellectual
Property Owners’ Education Foundation Inventor of
the Year award for the U.S. in 1984, induction into the
Space Technology Hall of Fame in 1988 and in April of
this year, induction as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. Dr. Fischell holds a bachelor’s degree
in mechanical engineering from Duke University and
a master’s in physics from the University of Maryland
as well as honorary doctorates from the University in
Maryland in 1996 and The Johns Hopkins University
in 2008.
He was awarded the TED Prize in 2005 for his work in
designing a portable transcranial magnetic stimulator
to treat migraine headaches drug-free, and just last
week he was at the White House where he was awarded
by President Barack Obama the National Medal of
Technology and Innovation, the nation’s highest honor
for technological achievements.

Among her notable research activities, Green
investigated the possibility of nerve regeneration
through the use of biocompatible nerve conduits that
bridge broken nerves. Her research findings were
published in the Journal of the Peripheral Nervous
System in December 2013.
Green gained valuable work experience in product
design and development during co-ops at Becton
Dickinson (BD) in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and
Zimmer Biomet in Parsippany, New Jersey. At Zimmer
Biomet, she helped design more than 50 medical
implants and more than 200 medical devices.
After graduation, Green will begin a rotational program
at Integra LifeSciences in Plainsboro, New Jersey,
where she will be exposed to all aspects of the company
including quality and regulatory areas.
The First in Class ranking is computed by using the grade point averages at the end of the Fall 2015 semester.

ACADEMIC REGALIA
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.
