Nautical nonsense is something they wished, and it was granted at this year’s edition of HackNJIT, where almost 400 students from New Jersey Institute of Technology and many other schools completed 63 ocean-themed projects.
Artificial intelligence experts from ADP, Amazon and Maersk highlighted this year’s NJIT Data Science Summit, hosted by the university’s Institute for Data Science.
The summit began in 2022 with Google and IBM presenting about hardware and ethics. This year’s focus was on generative AI, large language models and how they’re used in the business world.
Eight Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) students have recently begun their journey as members of the elite CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program during fall 2023 through the NJIT Secure Computing Initiative (SCI), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Researchers at NJIT and Universidad Carlos III of Madrid wanted to know if mixed-reality games could be improved by handing control to artificial intelligence software in the form of conversational language applications — it turns out they can, but the results may put players in danger.
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.
