Jan. 6, 2020 -- As part of SpaceX’s CRS-19 resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched Dec. 5, researchers from NASA, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and New York University (NYU) are set to begin a new scientific investigation to explore how a group of microscopic particles considered key “building blocks” for materials and products here on Earth, known as colloidal particles, behave and form in zero-gravity.
Sagnik Basuray is developing a device the size of a dollar coin that will detect cancer biomarkers in patients in remission by sampling a tiny drop of blood with a dip stick. His sensor is groundbreaking not only in its simplicity, but also in its portability. It’s meant to be used at home.
A five-woman team of undergraduate engineering students is tackling a problem experienced by a diverse and growing population: balance instability. For the elderly, people recovering from strokes and accidents or those living with disorders that affect movement, such as Parkinson’s disease, falls present the risk of grave injury.
With funding from the Hearst Foundations, the team is taking aim at the mechanics that lie at the heart of the problem, determining with precision – and on a step-by-step basis – when, where and how an individual loses stability.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to Deliver 2019 Commencement Address and Receive Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) will award more than 3,000 baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degrees at the 103rd Commencement exercises May 21, 2019, and May 23, 2019, at the Prudential Center and at NJIT’s Wellness and Events Center, respectively, in Newark, New Jersey. The university also will confer honorary degrees on three distinguished individuals May 21, 2019, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
For the latest in a series of eloquent centennial-year tributes to its traditions and people, a record crowd of more than 250 flocked to Newark College of Engineering’s 21st annual Salute to Engineering Excellence, held last night at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park.
“What we’ve achieved at NJIT is on the bedrock of NCE – the oldest and largest college of the university,” President Joel Bloom noted at the evening’s outset.
For most, the stark black and white images produced through computed tomography (CT) may not ignite much imagination beyond the routine bone scans that we'd see at the radiologist's lab. However, for NJIT Assistant Professor of Architecture and Design, Mathew Schwartz, the technology has become the creative medium by which he is building a library of digital art, steeped in the niche field of x-ray photography.
U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 rankings for the nation’s top graduate schools are in, and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been ranked No. 89 for its graduate degree program in engineering — marking the third consecutive year that the university has been listed among the Top 100. This year, NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering is also celebrating its 100th anniversary of public service through engineering.
A poet, a general and a judge, all engineers by training with diverse, illustrious careers to follow, were among the 11 Newark College of Engineering (NCE) graduates recently inducted into the NCE 100, the alumni hall of fame established this year as part of the College’s celebration of its centennial.
Daniel Young, a junior studying chemical engineering, has been declared Intern of the Year by Career Development Services (CDS) at NJIT. CDS held its second annual Interns of NJIT contest this past fall and selected Young in January. In addition to the title, he has received a $500 cash prize that will go toward his tuition.
Beginning this month, Newark College of Engineering (NCE) will kick off a year-long celebration of its 100th anniversary with a series of awards ceremonies, galas, historical tributes and engineering competitions to commemorate the school’s “Century of Public Service Through Engineering,” while inspiring NCE students to pursue new feats in engineering design and technological wizardry.
