In the past, ambitious engineers typically chose between two distinct academic and advancement pathways. Some would earn a master’s in engineering to qualify for senior-level engineering roles such as principal engineer. Others would earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) to become engineering managers. Engineering Management vs. MBA: Today, engineers who want to leverage their […]
Coding bootcamps are a fairly new phenomenon. Steven Hunter has been fascinated with computers since the late 1990s. His middle school offered a limited lineup of computer science classes, but that could not stop him from learning all he could. Once he exhausted the computer-focused elective options offered by his school, Hunter started taking apart computers, […]
Engineering Management Requirements: Traditionally, engineers and managers stayed in their own lanes. The former solved complicated technical challenges. The latter tackled issues related to operational performance, administration and planning. That dynamic is changing as technologies such as artificial intelligence automate more processes across industries. Today, staying competitive in engineering requires not only technical skills but […]
C-Suite Executives: Once, all roads led to Rome. These days, it seems they all lead to careers in data science. The big data deluge of the twenty-first century has created opportunities for strategic data analysis in every digitized field — which, in this digital era, means practically every profession. That’s why data science programs attract […]
With a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering, Carlo Lipizzi understands the theory and technology underlying modern computing, particularly in his specialization areas of machine learning and natural language processing. As a Stevens Institute of Technology instructor, Lipizzi also recognizes the need to highlight the practical applications of these technologies. That’s what he does in his Online Master of Engineering […]
If you are already an experienced mid-career professional in advanced analytics, data science or a related role, you may not feel strongly driven to pursue graduate education. While 90 percent of data scientists have advanced degrees, there is still a global shortage of Big Data talent. Coupled with growing demand for data scientists, that talent shortage has […]
Reza Peyrovian spent 25 years at Bell Labs, leading high-budget projects that produced hardware and software that still operates as part of the AT&T network. As an adjunct professor at Stevens Institute of Technology’s Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering & Science, he’s helped develop their high-ranking online master’s program in computer science. We sat […]
Supply chain sustainability is a vital but exceedingly complicated element of corporate responsibility. Creating supply chains that are both economically and environmentally sustainable is challenging because it involves so much more than simply implementing green procurement strategies that support the traditional bottom line. Engineering managers who want to foster sustainability can run into numerous roadblocks […]
When Dale Kelly applied to Stevens Institute of Technology’s Online Master in Computer Science program, he worried that he might not be qualified to pursue a graduate-level online computer science degree. True, he had completed a software engineering internship at Buncee and a computational science internship at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Additionally, he had earned a bachelor’s degree from the […]
Conventional wisdom states that success is a matter of who you know, not what you know. In data science, success hinges on both. Ninety percent of data scientists have advanced degrees — suggesting a discipline with high respect for formal education — but a Master of Science in Data Science (MSDS) isn’t enough to launch a career. Relationships drive […]
