New Jersey Institute of Technology is the top public university in the Northeast for undergraduate entrepreneurship studies, according to The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine.

New kinds of unconventional computer hardware, along with new ways of considering software responsibility, are both necessary if the next wave of data science will do anything more useful for the world than increase corporate profits.

Three student veterans at NJIT were among the first to be awarded a new scholarship administered by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. The Edith Nourse Rogers STEM Scholarship, named for the long-serving Massachusetts congresswoman and steadfast advocate for veterans, provides up to nine months of additional post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, up to $30,000. Recipients must be enrolled in a STEM degree program or seeking a teaching certificate.

Camping isn't the first hobby you associate with an urban campus, but the outdoors theme was a hit at HackNJIT this month, held fully in-person for the first time since 2019 because of the COVID pandemic.

Approximately 200 students from New Jersey Institute of Technology, and from neighbors such as Columbia, Cornell, Princeton, Rutgers and Stevens Institute, registered for the annual tribute to API calls and soldering irons.

Professors Aritra Dasgupta and Chase Wu from the Department of Data Science in NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing are developing software to take more advantage of simulation data used to study climate science through a $145,972 grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

With the world's population of geriatric patients increasing faster than enough caretakers can be trained for the difficult job, NJIT Assistant Professor of Informatics Salam Daher thinks augmented reality technology may help close the gap.

Daher and her students are prototyping a digital model of an older person which is aware of its feelings and environment. Existing models only cover physical aspects, so it's opening new ground to have a patient simulator that teaches caretakers about the emotional and psychological aspects of their daily work.

Long before social networks, instant messengers, web forums, Internet Relay Chat, AOL, Compuserve, and dial-up bulletin board systems, there was EIES – Electronic Information Exchange System, pronounced like the word eyes. 

Developed by Distinguished Professor Emeritus Murray Turoff back in 1976, EIES is considered among the first computer-mediated, multimachine communications and conferencing systems, and a precursor to the widespread interactive communication features available today.

New Jersey Institute of Technology students are forming a pair of computer security groups this semester, with the mutual goal of preparing students to hone their skills beyond the classroom.

One group is NICC — NJIT Information and Cybersecurity Club — and the other is the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group of (virtual) Breaking and Entering.

Six new assistant professors have been appointed to the faculty of Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) for the 2022-2023 academic year. They are joined by 11 professors of practice, university lecturers and senior university lecturers who will support the College’s ever-growing enrollment numbers. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology and Israel's Ben-Gurion University of the Negev officially opened a research center, the Institute for Future Technologies, located in the NJIT @JerseyCity satellite location.

Although the Institute and research there began last year, the opening ceremony only happened now due to pandemic-related delays.
