New Jersey Institute of Technology has again earned a spot on The Princeton Review’s top 50 undergraduate schools for game design in the 2023 rankings.

The Princeton Review chose the schools based on its 2022 survey of administrators at 150 institutions across the U.S. and abroad offering game design courses, majors, or degree programs. The survey collected information in four areas: academics, faculty, technology, and career prospects. The company analyzed more than 40 survey data points to tally the rankings.

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.

Imagine a digital system that could predict physical and mental health conditions among college students based on early symptoms and quickly connect them to counseling and psychological services on campus. While a seemingly obvious application of IoT (Internet of Things) technology, the implementation of such a system would need to avoid exposing and storing sensitive health data along the way, which could run afoul of relevant federal laws and compromise user privacy.  A system developed by NJIT researchers and Qualcomm Technologies Inc.

Research on trustworthy AI and machine learning earned a Best Paper award for Ying Wu College of Computing assistant professor Hai Phan at the prominent Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence annual conference in Washington last month.

The risks of negative side effects from online privacy laws are being studied by researchers in NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management and Ying Wu College of Computing, in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon and Cornell universities, based on $1.2 million in National Science Foundation grants.

They want to examine assertions from news and media companies that privacy regulations are hurting ordinary users, because the regulations hamper publishers' financial viability, resulting in lower quality content or even the prospect of none at all.

Dora Gomez ’18 walked the cozy, private dining room of Seasons 52 in Paramus, New Jersey greeting fellow NJIT alumni and swapping stories like she has done it dozens of times before. In truth, this was her first time helping to organize an NJIT alumni event as the new volunteer organizer for the northern New Jersey chapter.

In 2023, there are still a wealth of career opportunities in industries for students who demonstrate the right combination of ability, acumen, and soft skills. Such was the case for many Ying Wu College of Computing Students (YWCC) students who attended a fall on-campus recruitment event and subsequently were offered either full-time positions or internships with Bank of America in the next few months.

Among 13 children in a struggling Ivory Coast family, it would have been understandable if Vincent Oria went into business, apprenticed to a tradesman, or dreamed of the soccer pitch. Instead, long before becoming chairman of NJIT's Department of Computer Science, he followed his schoolteacher father into the world of academics, concentrating on physics as he loved the applied mathematics of science.

NJIT’s Career Development Services hosted its marquee event, again besting attendance and participation numbers over its previous career fair. Taking a page out of the logistics-improvement playbook of participating companies like UPS, Johnson & Johnson, Raytheon and others, CDS implemented changes to improve candidate and employer efficiency and experience.

Today’s world is driven by data – and data science is what powers the engine in this rapidly expanding global ecosystem. To address the need for talent and knowledge in this emerging field, NJIT’s Departments of Data Science and Mathematical Sciences have launched a new Ph.D. in Data Science program, dedicated to growing the field and generating top-notch data scientists.
