About Stevens Institute of Technology
About CESUN
The Council of Engineering Systems Universities
(CESUN) was established in 2004 by universities offering
educational and research programs in engineering
systems. CESUN membership includes more than
50 universities in North America, Europe, Asia, and
Australia. The Council provides a mechanism for the
member universities to work together developing
engineering systems as a new field of study. An overall
objective of the Council is to broaden engineering
education and practice.
The primary activities of CESUN are to:
• Discuss critical issues affecting the development of
engineering systems
• Undertake joint projects of mutual interest
• Share educational material
• Provide a clearing house to match PhD students
with faculty opportunities
• Organize meetings, symposia and conferences
• Work with related professional societies and
professional journals
