Nobody expects their summer internship to eventually lead to a job as CEO, but that's exactly what happened to New Jersey Institute of Technology computer science alumnus David Ruchman.

Ruchman, who graduated in 2006 and added a computer science M.S. in 2009, became chief executive of Powersolution, a 20-person IT services firm in Midland Park, in 2022.

Unique projects in fields such as computing, healthcare and social media stood out at New Jersey Institute of Technology's High School Summer Research Internship program this year.

Thanushri Serweswaran, a rising senior at Edison's J.P. Stevens high school, won first place for her work in creating virtual models of exoskeletons. The models are part of wider research from NJIT and the University of Delaware into the strain on human joints when lifting heavy objects.

As the new provost of New Jersey Institute of Technology, John Pelesko brings decades of experience as a professor, department chair, associate dean and most recently dean at the University of Delaware, where he had spent 21 years.

Pelesko also has the benefit of knowing NJIT firsthand: he was a graduate student here in the 1990s, when he earned a Ph.D. in mathematical sciences.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is fifth nationwide for its online M.S. in computer science, according to the latest ranking from Fortune.

The publication's ranking follows their prior report from January, which placed NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing fourth nationwide in cybersecurity and data science specialties.

Sam Sabet, the new Chief Technology Officer of industrial audio firm Shure Inc., has an NJIT degree for every season of his career.

NJIT’s McNair Scholars have been igniting their research efforts in campus labs this summer, and many are starting to see their career aspirations take shape in the process.

NJIT Assistant Professor Martin Kellogg is a software exterminator, obsessed with inventing programs that squash bugs in other people's code, and now he's working on the elusive balance between usability vs. perfection.

“So, what are your plans after graduation?” This is the question asked by uncles and aunts, grandparents, neighbors – and occasionally parents – from the Thanksgiving dinner table right up until graduation day.

Longtime Newark neighbors, Prudential and New Jersey Institute of Technology, have joined forces to help Prudential solve technological challenges while providing exciting opportunities for NJIT students.

The Hispanic Association of Computing College Students (HACCS) at NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing has taken off and is already seeing a great turnout in their inaugural meetings. 

This Hispanic-oriented club seeks to cater to the needs of Hispanic computing students and create a group that will allow them to support each other with computing coursework and make ties that create a homelike atmosphere at NJIT.
