A general thread about expansion and improvement

The paragraph about the composition of Stevens is not valid anymore.

"Stevens is composed of four academic schools: the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering, the Arthur E. Imperatore School of Sciences and Arts, the Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management and the newly-created School of Systems and Enterprises."

Arthur E. Imperatore School of Sc and Arts was disbanded, and a new School of Arts and Letters was created. Please check and update the text.

With regards to: "Frederick L. Bissinger, M.E., 1939, M.S. 1941, President, Allied Chemical Corporation (now Allied-Signal)"

It is no longer Allied-Signal, if you were to visit the associated page for said company Allied-Signal, you will see that is has since merged with Honeywell and adobted that name. However, not all of the business went to Honeywell. In fact, some of it went to L3 Communications. PanzerVamp 01:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I can put some detail into this article concerning some of the Stevens culture and various student-run organizations on campus. However, I might be biased, since I actually go to the school. Would it be worthwhile to do if someone could check POV for me? Gadlor 19:21, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Go for it! —Slicing (talk) 10:22, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes please put more detail in this article- I would be willing to do some research and do so. Stevens is one of the highest quality technological universities in the United States, and certainly has the most rigorous academic program in New Jersey yet it doesn't get the publicity of even the mediocre public colleges here.

True, it is quiete disproportional but it is a lot of work, for instance I'm personally not sure about several details, even the history page is hosted on stevens-tech.edu aka atilla - a deprecated server (ahh how long has it been from the time, an administrator wrote excitedly that it performs so good that students can run computation-intensive jobs on that in addition to server functions), not every link is alive in there and I do not find everything on stevens.edu, (curses, that insufferable technical progress and financial success :^), in time that should be fixed ) Gnomz007 00:38, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Does anyone know more information about the local legends. The Boat and the Horse ones have been passed down over the times by word of mouth, so i am sure the stories have changed slightly. Anyway that is currently "how the legend goes". I would perfer on top of the way it is told now, the origional stories from someone who was there. Also there is definatly alot of content that needs to be filled in about Stevens. I look at other schools with a high percentage of tech savy people and i see alot of time went into their page and that they have alot of content. Anyway thats just my opinion, i could be wrong! -Mkrupnic 16:53, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Given that you're looking for content, is rather odd that you removed my cannon comment. (The comment didn't express a "Point of View", it expressed a fact in a somewhat humorous way. But I understand that some people think Wiki should be entirely serious with no smiling allowed and it wouldn't surprise me that those sorts of folks were the ones who attended Stevens. :) )

But returning to your main point, you'll have to find people who were:

  1. Actually there or directly knowledgeable, and
  2. Willing to expend the effort to write about Stevens.

Personally, I know the ship was there ('cause I was there at the same time), I know there were problems with WCPR leaking out of the lamp string strung high on the ship ('cause I worked at WCPR during that time; I still have at least one aircheck of my shows), but the rest of your story sounds wildly apocryphal and grown large with the retellings. It seems to me that all we did when complaints arose was to stick RFI filters on the ship's lights.

I'd be suspicious of the rest of the stories here as well.

A true fact you might want to include in this article is the naval towing tank that is (or at least was) on campus. You might also discuss the point in history when the college went co-ed (it wasn't that long ago).

You might also want to Google for famous Steven's alumni.

Err, someone gotta do that but not me I lack accurate knowledge and good writing.

And by the way the Tank 3 was, but it will rebuilt - bigger and better. It's former feats include testing of Appolo water landing capsule(and saved it from failure, since computer modelling shown that it is OK, but during real tests it failed by turning over) and wild numbers of less prominent vessels. I know nothing about Tank 1, and I guess that huge square thing with mechanical arm is Tank 2. And that is only the "toys" I've seen, SIT is full of unique devices worth writing about. The number practical education options in Stevens is also a notable thing - co-ed, Technogenesis...Gnomz007 00:38, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

{{Request edit}} We represent Stevens Institute of Technology. The Special Counsel (appointed after the university’s consent judgment with the state) has issued his final report, and the Wikipedia entry would benefit with an update from the report to indicate that Stevens is in full compliance with the terms of the Consent Judgment. The final report is available here. This should update the reference that governance procedures are scheduled to be implemented by June 30, 2011.

We also request the “New Jersey Lawsuit” section be edited to be more encyclopedic. For example, it can be argued that including mention of an accusation in the fourth paragraph beginning with “The New York Times…” and then saying the accusation was never substantiated is equivalent to including hearsay and rumor in an encyclopedic entry. We encourage the Wikipedia community to review other instances in this section that may be extraneous and outside the scope of what is appropriate in an article titled “Stevens Institute of Technology”, particularly given that much of this section was written before both the Consent Judgment (when both sides mutually released the other from allegations) and the most recent report from the Special Counsel that determined the university to be in full compliance.

Tall Tales

Our intention when posting the Stevens Legends (and yes we were drunk) was to place what we've heard as a starting off point in the hope that people like you would come in with their experiences and knowledge and edit it to be proper(that sounds pretty british). Anyway i am a little confused as to what your saying, but if you know some knowledge feel free to change any of the information there. As for the POV thing, i agree that we should try and keep wikipedia semi-serious because if we do not set the bar somewhere it can get out of hand (not that your comment was out of hand....or foot for that matter). By the way Stevens Class of Dec. 04....woot....5.5 years in the making! Mkrupnic 16:38, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Attila/ Raveche

Attila was taken down sometime in 2002ish and replace with pipeline a more windows compliant, less shell log in server. We all cried that day. As for content....perhaps the scandal with the finances should be mentioned. Check www.unevenstevens.com Mkrupnic 06:44, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

What about ... - the boat that served as a dormitory in the 1970s - "Big John" the facility (Green tower near the physical plant) that they used to model toilet flushing systems in ultra-tall buildings

SS Stevens - theres already a good wikipedia article about that. it should be tied to this page. JTG NATION

Improvement

OK, I've started moving this somewhere, not necessary making that article any better. Well it seems Stevens students have low Wikipedia presence, not counting this guy. But right now history part is an enumeration of facts which mostly make sense to a Stevens student, and need a good explanation for an outsider, at least for the flow's of the story sake. I guess copy/pasting official site would be stupid/inapropriate/illegal.

Improvement

I give up. Where to find the official seal image, is it ok to use. The logo is from here, but there is no seal. I know that resource is for newspapers but ahem, Wiki is not newspaper.

Making sense checklist

  • Big inventions (bubble wrap?)
  • Does the history has to be the biggest section(Stevens is the future, not past)?
  • What makes Steves stand out?
  • Technogenesis(what's that in a nutshell?)? coop?
  • Unique experimental devices (Dav Lab is not the only one, and I know that every lab has at least one many hundred dollars "toy")
  • University culture, what is special? Honor System in a Nutshell
  • Student-faculty interaction (any notes, I mean that is different)
  • Architecture(is the campus worth walking through)


So one comment - tell me about Stevens, I can not research that all Gnomz007 05:40, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Technogenesis

I broke out the description of this and added info on the trademark. The description is pretty concise, although sort of meaningless, but it doesn't seem to conflict with the 'party line' at http://www.stevens-tech.edu/iti/Technogenesis/ The TM info comes from http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=toc&state=8p2o7t.1.1&p_search=searchss&p_L=50&BackReference=&p_plural=yes&p_s_PARA1=&p_tagrepl%7E%3A=PARA1%24LD&expr=PARA1+AND+PARA2&p_s_PARA2=technogenesis&p_tagrepl%7E%3A=PARA2%24COMB&p_op_ALL=AND&a_default=search&a_search=Submit+Query&a_search=Submit+Query If that link doesn't work, you can verify at www.uspto.gov/ and seach trademarks for Technogenesis.

There seems to be a spelling change on the main Wikipaedia article, changing the "g" to a "p", which I think is bogus. Though at one time, on convocation day in 1976 (first day of the semester) the President of the school (Kenneth C. Rogers) announced the changing of the name of one curriculum from "Technology and Society" to "Systems Planning and Management". There then arose a chant based on a Monty Python skit indicating that this was not a good idea if you wanted to curriculum to be more popular. So while unlikely I think that it is barely possible.

Free Speech challenge

FIRE, a non-profit group based at Penn has criticized Stevens's sexual harassment policy as being over-broad and in violation of Stevens's first amendment pledge. I've included a section on this.

That's nice, but the fact that FIRE does this to a different university every month or so makes it really peripheral. It's not like FIRE is a significant organization or anything. Their issuing a press release doesn't really give them the right to use Wikipedia to publicize themselves. - Nunh-huh 02:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

WCPR Record Collection

The following statment has been moved from the fact section of the main article to here until a source can be cited:

"The campus radio station (WCPR) has the largest private record collection in the state of New Jersey "

We are currently cataloging the record library and the final count of 12-inch vinyl LPs is at 10252. Find me one that's bigger. (Mike Bocchinfuso, WCPR General Manager, 2007).

Wittpenn Walk

The labelling of the pictures appears to have been resolved (by other editors) in favor of "Wittpenn Walk".

Thanks for your concern about the correct caption Ccwnj. There are jokesters on wiki. Simply undo any suspicious edits where the non-verified info is clearly contrary to reliable info from independent sources. — Wjwalrus (talk) 16:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Challenge of Stevens/NYU Dual Degree Program

Do you not think that 150 credits of science and engineering, plus 40 more to get another degree from N.Y.U. would not be challenging? What kind of reference would Wikipedia want? Considering that the average college student takes only 120 credits sometimes in more than 4 years, 200 credits of real science in 5 years (20 per semester average) would certainly qualify as challenging.

Updating page along guidelines for college and university articles

{{Request edit}}

Done

  • I believe the request was fulfilled based on the string. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just clearing out some of the odds and ends filling the request edit queue User:King4057 (EthicalWiki) 16:30, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

I have reworked/restructured this article along the college and university article guidelines. Among changes are new content sections, more references, new photos and moving content to fit into the suggested college and university article guidelines. The article is by no means complete according to the recommended guidelines, but a step in that direction.

A draft of the revised article is available at this link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:QueenCity11/Stevens_Institute_of_Technology. I work with Stevens Institute of Technology and have a conflict of interest in making the changes directly. I am therefore asking the community to review the content, make whatever changes are appropriate, and, when ready, switch the draft page with the current article.

One caveat to the switch - the seal and university logo in the Infobox on the existing article page should remain. I didn't go through the copyright hoops to get those images live on the draft page in my userspace, but those images should remain in the Infobox. QueenCity11 (talk) 20:08, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm one of the people here who work rather frequently on university articles, and I will give this a look in the next few days. Thanks for doing this the right way.
as some preliminary comments, there's a little too much PR jargon, e.g. "Stevens' effort to build a top athletic program while maintaining its high academic standards was epitomized... " or "Individual recognition exemplifying the school's commitment to academics and athletics was furthered in 2011 " Better to just list what the student-athletes accomplished, and that it exemplifies the school's goals will be be obvious.
I'd remove the picture of students walking, which does not really add anything, and one of the two rather duplicative pictures of the NYC skyline as seen from the ampus.
as for layout, I'd possibly divide the research by the 3 schools to give it some degree of organization .And what I would certainly do is break out the section on Time study and Taylor into a subsection, since it is so very famous. I'd give a high priority to writing articles on the 4 people in the Notable alumni who do not have them--and I'd add a section on notable faculty, past and present.
Could you please do the revisions, and let me know on my talk p. DGG ( talk ) 04:47, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your thoughts and feedback. I have made the changes that you suggested, with a few questions. For organizing the research section, I wasn't sure the best way to do that. The various research centers do not all fall exclusively within one of the schools, so I wasn't sure how best to handle that. For the Notable Alumni who do not have articles, I removed them temporarily as I do not have the capacity right now to write those articles, but I can add them in when I do. Same with creating a Notable Faculty section - I can add that in at a future time if it's possible to make the other changes to the live page in the meantime. Thank you again for your review and suggestions. Please let me know what more I can do and other next steps. Thank you. QueenCity11 (talk) 20:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
The content is basically OK. There are some changes I would make, but it will be easier to make them than describe them. What I'd appreciate first is if you could fix a few elements of general style: 1)The summary duplicates to much of the content. Aim for one or two paragraphs. 2) avoid using capital letters except for formal names of organizations, people, etc., but not concepts 3) Avoid repeating names & titles in full or abbreviation, to the extent possible without losing clarity, e.g. ., the second time we refer to Dr. John Smith we call him Smith, unless "he" is sufficient 4) Check every sentence to see if it is the most concise way of expression 4) Remove any phrases that do not add to the meaning, e.g. replace "One of the school's guiding philosophies is its use of an "Open Academic Model" with " The school follows an open academic model," and "Several of the capstone projects done in the business school have actually been realized in the marketplace as new companies." with "Several projects have been developed into real companies" and "a nexus for research advancements in cybersecurity " with "devoted to cybersecurity" (as it's a research center, even the word "research" is unnecessary). this is the difference between PR style and encyclopedic style--to be sure you will find many articles in Wikipedia that are redundant, wordy, and ill-written by any standard, but we will get to them also. Please do not be concerned if you miss some of them--I'll handle what you don't. If you do it as well as I expect you'll shorten it by two to three hundred words and I will remove another hundred or so.
I'm probably not going to make the change by moving the article. Some of this is based on the existing article and this would lose the article history. Exactly how I am going to do the merge is currently a matter in which I need to consult--the question is now coming up fairly often. DGG ( talk ) 21:18, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
I would think it would make sense to allow Queen to continue making the suggested edits and then have him copy his version onto the current article. It still ends up being attributed correctly in that case, from what I can see.
On another note, I'll be having a look at the proposed new article as well. I actually attend school here. --Izno (talk) 01:01, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for this feedback and the guidelines/guidance. I did my best to edit the article along the guidelines described. I had a hard time with the summary - can you review that closely to see if there's anything I may have left out? I tried to follow guidelines set forth on the College and University Article Guidelines page and articles that have been rated as feature articles, but there is a wide range of content in the summary sections within articles given feature article status. Thank you again and please let me know the best next step. QueenCity11 (talk) 21:10, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page.
I am seeking an editor to review the edits described in the dialogue above, thank you. QueenCity11 (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I did a fairly detailed look at the lead section and glanced through the rest. I removed two adjectives from the lead section. I saw no major problems in my random sampling of the rest of the article. Other editors may want to review this in more detail but the article looks decent in the few minutes that I've spent with it. If you have more specific questions you can ask here or in #wikipedia-en-help connect. Thanks for your interest in editing Wikipedia! Pine 07:28, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Pine - thank you for your view and response. I realized that I wasn't specific in what needed review. I have been working on an updated article in my user space to align this article closer to the Wikipedia guidelines for college and university articles. I have gone back and forth with another editor on updates to that page, and it is awaiting (what I hope is) a final review before before the content of that article gets switched to the live Wikipedia site. That article can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:QueenCity11/Stevens_Institute_of_Technology. Are you able to help with that review? QueenCity11 (talk) 11:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
Hm, I'm not an expert on the standards for articles on universities, but one thing I will say is that the AG lawsuit should be its own section IMO, so I've moved it in the draft document. If you're drafting this article in some official capacity for Stevens then I suggest that you ask for a review at Wikipedia:Paid Editor Help. The draft looks ok to me at first glance but especially if you're being paid to write it then it should get more scrutiny, and Paid Editor Help is a good place to ask for that. Pine 21:45, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Per the discussion above, and a review of the draft, I have copied over QueenCity11's new version. Because the histories overlap, a history merger is not possible. As such, QueenCity11, please do not request deletion of the draft in your userspace.

Also, note that might copy "lost" some of the intervening edits. Some, like Pine's fixing of POV, were already taken care of. Others, like Skyler.cohen's addition of more alumni, were not. However, Skyler's addition seems to be at least partially inappropriate, because not all of the names he added had verification that the person attended this school (a requirement, per WP:NLIST). Others are welcome to look back at Cohen's addition and see if any of them could be brought over. For that matter, I recommend scouring the alumni list--the guideline says the person must be "important" (and having a WP article automatically meets this requirement), and there must be verification in a reliable source, either here or on the target article, that the person attended SIT. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:23, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Student Life Section, yes or no?

Collegiate Wikipedia pages commonly note many things. Among them, historic profile, location, academic profile and rankings, famous alumni, athletics information, often cultural contributions, and campus traditions. Additionally, if the campus has/had fraternities and sororities, including both the traditional "academic and social" groups, and/or professional, honor societies and service groups, these are WP:Notable and are therefore regularly listed. On a college WP page, therefore, the normal place to put 'Greek info' is under its own sub-header, or within a Student Life/Campus Life section.

I'd recently updated a section about the many Stevens Institute fraternities and sororities. Some months back, the section was a brief mention of them, without much organization. I put it into a list format, with some citations. Today, User:Izno deleted this section, citing WP:Weight and WP:RS. Attempting to address his/her concerns, I reverted his edit manually, adding a number of reliable source references, cleaning up the formatting still further, and addressed the matter of Weight. There is no doubt that these societies have existed for over 100 years on the campus, owning properties there (two references), and that they represent a healthy segment of the student body at 25% (one reference), and that Greek alumni are motivated by their undergrad experiences to give more (one reference).

Yet within minutes, this well-sourced section was again reverted out, with no acknowledgement on the Talk page, and again, charges of lack of Reliable Sources in the edit line. I don't understand. The three sources I used are Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities, U.S. News & World Report, and the campus' own Student Life website. Baird's for those that don't know it, is a book of 1,200 or so pages that has been the definitive resource of record for the collegiate Greek system for 140 years. It is in its 19th publication, is available in every major collegiate library, and has its own WP entry. The book is cited across WP for hundreds of these societies and many hundreds of colleges and universities. Izno, did you not know about Baird's, and think it was some kind of internal 'manual', because of its name?

Any consensus here? I think the section is reasonable, of interest, and adds value to the page, and for discussion purposes I am copying here, inset within this new section, what I will now also add back to the page. I don't mind WP:Bold changes and the resulting edit cycle, but we should do this on the Talk page, eh? Jax MN (talk) 20:54, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

This part of the article is largely unsourced; the references are only to other lists or handbooks and don't convey information of encyclopedic value. There are great Wikipedia pages -- I think you worked a lot on several of them! -- which list Greek life at any given university or college; this is not the place for them. I propose deletion. --Melchior2006 (talk) 06:09, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
Since no one chimed in on this one, I will go ahead and streamline. --Melchior2006 (talk) 18:58, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Student Life

Greek Organizations

Stevens Institute of Technology hosts chapters of fifteen social and academic fraternities and sororities, many of which were founded on campus over a century ago.[1][2] These groups, through their social, academic, leadership and alumni networking programs, are aimed at building life-long connections among participants and to the Institute. Indeed, they are successful at this aim, as evidenced by the fact that across the nation, "most of the donations made to [an] alma matter are given by members of Greek organizations".[3] Popular hubs of social activity, in 2013, 25% of students were members of these organizations.[4]

Members self-select prospective members, and chapters cooperate on a wide variety of inter-Greek programming to support campus life.[1] Once a student becomes a member of one of the traditional social and academic societies they may not join another from that conference due to 'anti-poaching' rules.[5] However, members of the traditional social and academic fraternities, sororities and societies are often elected as members of professional, honor and/or service societies as they are chosen or earn the honor by grade, class rank or achievement.[6] All but one of Stevens' Greek organizations are chapters of national fraternities or sororities, which in turn participate in several cooperative national associations, designated by one or more conference allegiances: the NIC (most academic fraternities), the NPC (most academic sororities), the NAPA (culturally Asian & Pacific Islander), the NALFO (culturally Latino/Latina), the ACHS (most Honor Societies), or the PFA (Professional) associations.

Fraternities (Mens)

Sororities (Womens)

Professional, Honor or Service (usually co-ed)

Among fraternities and sororities, inter-chapter cooperation is managed by two governing councils: the Interfraternity Council (IFC), and the Stevens Panhellenic Association (NPC groups). Professional and Honor societies are faculty sponsored.[3]
