Dear NJIT Community Members, On this Veterans Day, I write to thank NJIT’s veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces for their service to our nation, and to ask the entire NJIT campus community to join me in recognizing their service and sacrifice.

Business majors, along with anyone interested in the theory and technology of organizational leadership, may attend the Northeast Decision Sciences Institute Annual Conference hosted by NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management in April 2022.

At its center is a small-scale automated manufacturing system capable of converting raw materials into finished and inspected parts.

The New York Red Bulls announced today a new partnership with New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) as an Official Partner of the club. The university will now be presenting partners for Goals for Perfect Attendance Program and the After School All-Stars Mentorship Program.

Women’s ingenuity dots the human landscape, from the external fire escape, to the word processor, to the first dishwashing machine to replace scrubbers with water pressure, to Kevlar, the lightweight, but supremely strong fiber used in bulletproof vests. And yet statistics show that too few of their ideas successfully navigate the journey from concept to product. Indeed, some don’t make it over the early hurdles. Men with doctorates in STEM fields, for example, are nearly twice as likely to hold at least one patent as their female counterparts.

Mibrar Reza and Adam Tracy — following the spirit of Verne, von Braun, NASA and Musk — were the first-place winners of this semester's inaugural NJIT Makerspace Soda Bottle Rocket Competition, charting unexplored regions of Lubetkin Field at Mal Simon Stadium with water-powered flights of 227 and 250 feet, respectively.
