School pride is on display when our scholar-athletes are at home competing. Individual and team accomplishments at national tournaments, including NCAA championships, have contributed to our profile and reputation. The Stevens campus is dotted with historic buildings and structures that are reminders of the proud legacy of the university’s founding family.

• The relationship of technology with society is generally characterized as synergistic, symbiotic, co-dependent, co-influential, and co-producing, i.e. technology and society depend heavily one upon the other .
• Discover our 100+ programs and areas of specialization at our campuses.
• Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet have lowered communication barriers and ushered in the knowledge economy.
• After successfully organizing the 2nd ISSTEC on 2019 (), the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Islam Indonesia in 2021 will organize the 3rd ISSTEC 2021.
• A 2017 survey found no clear consensus among economists on whether AI would increase long-term unemployment.
• Herbert Marcuse and John Zerzan suggest that technological society will inevitably deprive us of our freedom and psychological health.

Man’s technological ascent began in earnest in what is known as the Neolithic period (“New stone age”). The invention of polished stone axes was a major advance because it allowed forest clearance on a large scale to create farms. Additionally, children could contribute labor to the raising of crops more readily than they could to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Other technological advances made during the Paleolithic era were clothing and shelter; the adoption of both technologies cannot be dated exactly, but they were a key to humanity’s progress. As the Paleolithic era progressed, dwellings became more sophisticated and more elaborate; as early as 380,000 B.C.E., humans were constructing temporary wood huts.

Together, we power innovators and entrepreneurs across Europe to turn their best ideas into products, services, jobs and growth. Because current technologies are generally accepted as good, future technological developments are not considered circumspectly, resulting in what seems to be a blind acceptance of technological development. The word “technology” can also be used to refer to a collection of techniques. In this context, it is the current state of humanity’s knowledge of how to combine resources to produce desired products, to solve problems, fulfill needs, or satisfy wants; it includes technical methods, skills, processes, techniques, tools and raw materials. When combined with another term, such as “medical technology” or “space technology,” it refers to the state of the respective field’s knowledge and tools. “State-of-the-art technology” refers to the high technology available to humanity in any field.

IEEE membership offers access to technical innovation, cutting-edge information, networking opportunities, and exclusive member benefits. Members support IEEE’s mission to advance technology for humanity and the profession, while memberships build a platform to introduce careers in technology to students around the world. The birth of the University of Cochin was with the specific purpose of “development of higher education with particular emphasis on post-graduate studies and research in applied science, technology, industry and commerce”.

Medical Technology also provide services accessible for anyone who require assistance on performing research and development activities delivered by three Core Facility Services. Medical Technology is a hub where clinicians, engineers, scientists, and others work together on research and development of various healthcare-focused technology represented into five Research Groups. VIT has strong international presence across the world and partnerships with over 300 foreign universities. VIT provides options to study 2 years at VIT and 2 years at a partner foreign university.
