NJIT’s largest and oldest college invited students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends to join together for NCE’s 25th Salute to Engineering Excellence celebration. The annual event honors the contributions and impact of the NCE community and features the college’s upcoming star students, dedicated faculty and staff, impactful alumni and industry partners.
New Jersey Institute of Technology further burnishes its reputation in engineering and computer science in the latest graduate studies rankings from U.S. News & World Report.
NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering (NCE) now ranks No. 77 on the publication’s list of the Best Engineering Schools in the U.S. — up eight notches from last year. It’s the eighth consecutive year that NCE has made the top 100.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has selected John Pelesko to serve as its next provost and senior vice president for academic affairs after a nationwide search. Pelesko, currently the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware (UD), will start on Aug. 1.
Environmental safety and corporate interests tend not to match, but engineers at NJIT and Israel's Ben Gurion University of the Negev found a way to filter dangerous nitrate from water while also reducing the energy needed to create industrial ammonia.
Tiny particles in Earth’s atmosphere can have a big impact on climate. But understanding exactly how these aerosol particles form cloud drops and affect the absorption and scattering of sunlight is one of the biggest sources of uncertainty in climate models. Ogochukwu (Ogo) Enekwizu, a postdoctoral research associate in the Environmental and Climate Sciences Department at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, is trying to tame that complexity.
“Our task is to mimic what happens in the atmosphere by making a cloud in the lab,” she said.
A new event on campus, Byte into Hardware, aims to remind us of the joy in exploring hacker culture's physical roots.
The hardware hackathon will take place April 1-2 with themes focusing on accessibility and sustainability. Breadboards, microcontrollers and sensors will be everywhere, in contrast to the annual NJIT ACM chapter's HackNJIT, which skews to the software side. Registration is here.
Ecevit Bilgili, a professor of chemical and materials engineering who boosts the therapeutic efficacy of pharmaceutical drugs through nanoengineering, while also lowering the cost to design and manufacture them, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).
In his Particle Engineering and Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology Laboratory, Bilgili and his team develop, for example, nanoparticle formulations and processes that enable the immediate release of poorly water-soluble drugs and enhance the performance of long-acting injectable drugs.

Cut, color, clarity and carat are the four Cs of the diamond industry. Aether, a new company producing lab-grown diamonds, is pushing to add one more — carbon origin.
Two of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s online graduate programs placed among the top 50 in this year's U.S. News & World Report rankings of American universities, with another breaking into the top 100.
NJIT was ranked No. 29 for its information technology programs, a two place jump from last year; and No. 47 for engineering, a 16-place rise. In addition, NJIT’s online master’s business program was ranked No. 95, and the online MBA was No. 132.
All ranked programs saw improved scores over last year, according to the publication.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) will receive more than $1 million for new initiatives that will bolster engineering education, as well as manufacturing and mechatronics apprenticeship training, under the federal spending bill signed by President Joe Biden.
The $1.7 trillion spending package carves out $1.3 million for the two new NJIT initiatives. The community college pre-engineering network initiative will develop community college-serving programs to strengthen the pathway and readiness for traditionally underserved students to pursue a STEM degree.
