New Jersey Institute of Technology graduate programs in business and engineering are again represented in the latest U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings, with several engineering specialties improving their standing and the Martin Tuchman School of Management earning a set of first-time specialty rankings.
New Jersey Institute of Technology is partnering with Made Scientific, Inc. to help develop a new graduate bioprocessing elective within NJIT’s Master of Science program in Chemical and Materials Engineering. Launching in Spring 2027, the course is intended to prepare students for work in cell and gene therapy manufacturing while further strengthening NJIT’s ties to New Jersey’s growing biopharma sector.
Professor Roman Voronov of the Otto H. York Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology has been selected to receive the 2026 George Lappin Award for Technical Programming from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
Chemistry and chemical engineering majors learn to make all kinds of compounds and solutions, but an afternoon focusing on the design and packaging of facial serum was probably a first for them.
That’s what happened on March 11 when 50 students gathered in NJIT’s Agile Strategy Lab, with the multipurpose room serving as an actual laboratory, for hands-on training in the science of cosmetics development.
Richard Calbi, director of Ridgewood Water, was astonished to discover the extent of PFAS contamination in New Jersey drinking water when the state adopted pollution standards for the industrial chemicals in 2020.
“The first thing we did was determine if we were affected and found them in every one of our 52 groundwater wells. We couldn’t find water to buy that didn’t have PFAS in it. We had to reimagine and rebuild our entire system to accommodate new filters,” Calbi said.
Online education programs at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) rank among the top 100 in the country, according to the U.S. News & World Report. NJIT earned high marks across degree-granting programs in business, engineering and information technology.
From Leonardo da Vinci to Nam Jun Paik to Lillian Schwartz, art and technology have a long and intertwined relationship. Beginning in spring 2026, all NJIT students will have the opportunity to explore this productive feedback loop.
Wen Zhang, a professor at NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering, has been named a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). The program honors academic and institutional inventors, and the induction recognizes Zhang’s work using nanomaterials to break down environmental pollutants, recover nutrients from wastewater and support sustainable agriculture.
New Jersey Institute of Technology Ph.D. student Günel Nabiyeva has co-authored a new study in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science that demonstrates how engineering tools can accurately predict how sunscreens “feel” on the skin — bridging scientific measurement and human perception.
The collaboration, which began through a National Science Foundation (NSF) INTERN supplement and continued under NJIT’s Experiential Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP), connects academic research with industrial product development at Colgate-Palmolive.
When Saly Tanyous ’26 walks across the stage at NJIT this spring, she won’t just be accepting her degree, she’ll be celebrating a journey marked by resilience, discovery and the courage to find her true path in engineering.
Born in Egypt, Tanyous moved to the United States in sixth grade and settled in Jersey City with her family. The transition was difficult. As a child who excelled in her Egyptian classrooms, she was suddenly navigating a new culture, a new language and the fear of falling short. “I used to cry every day, worried about failing,” she recalled.
