Tadeusz Chabowski
Mechanical Engineering Graduate
My father asked his Professional Engineering (PE) friends where their best employees were graduating from and five of the seven friends’ first answer was Stevens Institute of Technology and Stevens was the top three listed by all seven Engineers. I knew that Stevens was the right choice if I wanted to get a proper engineering education.
