College computing ccs

NJIT computer science alumna Hang Nguyen, the first in her family to attend college, started her full-time career as a Google software engineer based on her ability to quickly absorb new skills. 

Nguyen grew up in central Vietnam, learned English and the outdated Pascal programming language in a school for gifted children, and ultimately chose to pursue her dream of not only obtaining a college degree but doing so in the United States.

After concluding their eight-week summer program, NJIT students presented their startups, giving them an opportunity to experience entrepreneurship and business creation.

The Highlander Foundry program is a summer startup incubator that helps NJIT students and alumni grow with the same techniques and strategies that launched many of the top startups today. 

We've all wished that some people on social media would use a fake news detector before sharing, and now an NJIT computer science student has built one that works pretty well.

Natalia Smith, a junior from Newark, said her fake news detector application has performed with up to 90 percent accuracy in evaluating COVID-related tweets for truthfulness.

New Jersey Institute of Technology hosted the 12th ACM International Conference on Multimedia Retrieval with in-person and remote participants focusing on critical, societal and technical presentations in the art of searching for vivid data online.

NJIT students have found excellent work in co-ops and internships this summer. It is a great way to gain real-world experience in their field of study, and to network with professionals in their chosen field. And, of course, the added benefit of earning money to help pay for tuition and other expenses.

An unpatched security bug in most web browsers allows hackers to monitor specific site visitors and leave scarce evidence of a digital trail, researchers with New Jersey Institute of Technology revealed.

The bug can be exploited with well-crafted code that can, for example, wait for a targeted person to view an embarrassing website, record data about their clicks and share that data with those who wish to use it against the visitor.

Many Capstone projects, proposed by a company and performed by a team of students as a senior-year course requirement in the Ying Wu College of Computing, are successful enough to be developed further by the sponsoring company. On occasion, a student or two will be fortunate enough to receive an employment offer from the company as a result of their good work. It is far less common, however, for an entire Capstone team, let alone two entire Capstone teams of the same semester and sponsor, to be hired – and made full partners in the company.

Twitter was a strategic tool for Taliban operations in overthrowing the Afghanistan leadership during the country’s civil war, and some accounts associated with the oppressive group triggered the company's algorithms to promote ads for well-known Western brands, researchers from New Jersey Institute of Technology, Princeton University and University of Regina found.

July 1 marks the first day of Dr. Teik C. Lim’s appointment as president of New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Filing a noise complaint is a bit of a gamble. By the time an inspector arrives, the stream of trucks thundering by the night before may be long gone or the construction tools bedeviling the dinner hour turned off. In a dense soundscape, even pinpointing the worst offender can be a challenge. Was it a jackhammer or a tamping machine making that repetitive racket?
