CIESE, the Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education, was established in 1988 at Stevens Institute of Technology to help bring the Institute’s technology experience to the K-12 sector.  Since 1982, Stevens has required students to own a computer.  As the first institution of higher education in the world with such a requirement, Stevens has acquired nearly two decades of expertise with the educational, human, and organizational aspects of technology integration.  Working collaboratively with K-12 schools and school districts, in concert with a variety of other partners, CIESE has helped more than 700 schools in New Jersey realize the benefits of technology.  Current programs involve collaborations in New Jersey and four other states to train more than 10,000 teachers.
