Chemical biological and pharmaceutical engineering

NJIT has secured a $6 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to translate science and engineering discoveries into market-ready technologies that will improve quality of life in areas ranging from health care, to sustainable energy, to data privacy.

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Professor Xianqin Wang has been honored by the Catalysis Society of Metropolitan New York with the 2023 Excellence in Catalysis Award. This recognition underscores Professor Wang's outstanding contributions to the field of catalysis and her dedication to advancing scientific knowledge.

Hundreds of students in NJIT’s introductory engineering course, Fundamentals of Engineering Design 101, are having a greater shared experience during the fall 2023 semester than any incoming class since the 1990s.

Back then, Newark College of Engineering began customizing the FED syllabus for each major field. Chemical engineering students may have learned more about compounding and processing, while civil engineering students learned the basics of surveying and transportation systems.

Alina Emeilianova worked right up to her Ph.D graduation ceremony. Appearing as first author in a paper in Langmuir, a peer-reviewed journal published by the American Chemical Society, it is fitting that she snuck in one more notch of success in the twilight of her research career at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Technically this was submitted after her defense — some people just can’t turn it off.

A record number of students and alumni attended New Jersey Institute of Technology’s latest Career Fair — 3,300 — with some 240 companies looking to fill more than 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative education experiences.

The macro numbers were impressive — for the third straight fair — but it was smaller moments that students appreciated most, such as the opportunity to talk one-on-one with representatives of companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Mars and Campbell Soup. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s rise in national rankings continues, with U.S. News & World Report placing NJIT No. 86 among national universities for 2024 — a jump of 11 rungs from 2023.

Economic mobility was a new factor in Niche ranking New Jersey Institute of Technology No. 45 among all U.S. institutions for “Best Value,” reaffirming the university’s return on investment to its students and alumni. NJIT earned the No. 1 spot for “Best Value” among New Jersey public institutions.

Niche, a college ranking and review platform, evaluated 4,048 public and private four-year colleges nationwide and developed separate lists for the best academics, value, food, dorms and college life.

A little-known R&D facility, operated by NJIT’s New Jersey Innovation Institute with the U.S. Army Picatinny Arsenal for its primary client, is beginning to thrive one year after moving off-campus.

The facility is called COMET — Collaborative Operationalized Manufacturing Engineering and Training — located about 30 miles northwest of NJIT’s Newark campus, close to Picatinny, which is the Army headquarters for conventional weapons development.

Stuti Mohan, a senior biomedical engineering student, was the winner of the top Dr. James F. Stevenson Innovation Award at the 2023 Undergraduate Summer Research and Innovation (URI) Symposium at NJIT.

Her project sought to identify a non-invasive yet precise method to diagnose the tapping foot of a subject. Mohan’s research area in the Sensorimotor Quantification and Rehabilitation Lab (SQRL) is the ongoing pursuit of improving concussion management. 

The head of New Jersey’s largest utility urged the Class of 2023 at New Jersey Institute of Technology to embrace change and remain positive in the face of challenges ranging from climate change and social inequity to artificial intelligence.
