NJIT @JerseyCity welcomed its first students on September 3, 2019.

With the start of the fall semester, dozens of students embarked on graduate-level academic programs in data science at NJIT’s new location, just steps from the Exchange Place PATH station in the Waterfront district of Jersey City.

According to NJIT Career Development Services’ most recent annual report, almost one-fifth of undergrads from the Class of 2018 who reported full-time employment indicated an NJIT career fair as their source.

That figure certainly demonstrates the value of students attending the fair, to both mingle with prospective employers and leave a lasting impression on recruiters. But vital to the mix in landing a position is preparedness.

One is studying computer science at NJIT, the other biomedical engineering, but they both join the university as Mayor’s Honors Scholars.

Payscale has released its 2019 College Salary Report and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has placed #53 out of over 4,000 colleges and universities across the U.S. in the mid-career salary rankings. In addition, NJIT is #1 for state schools in mid-career salary.

Finding Keith Williams in a classroom isn’t unusual. He’s taught at NJIT for years, but this summer he taught somewhere quite different.

Williams traveled more than 7,400 miles to teach at ZCAS University in Zambia, invited by the Zambian government to teach a course on mobile technology and set up a degree program to help students develop software solutions.

Kurt Rohloff, a professor of computer science at NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing, has been awarded the prestigious DARPA Director’s Fellowship from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

The Makerspace at NJIT, New Jersey Institute of Technology’s training-focused, rapid prototyping facility, is the winner of a $125,000 award from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to advance careers in advanced manufacturing.

Three times a year, NJIT’s Osama Eljabiri makes the trip to Medellin, Colombia, as part of his Real World Connections (RWC) program.

The director of NJIT’s new Institute for Data Science has received an award from Facebook to support real-world analytics research. The research aims to develop faster learning patterns to make it easier for companies to extract actionable information from extremely large data sets.

Making changes to roadways can be a controversial issue. Seemingly a simple matter, adding a traffic light or changing a traffic pattern can raise many questions in the impacted community.

So when the North Jersey Transit Planning Authority (NJTPA) recommended replacing a few traffic lights and stop signs with roundabouts, they wanted to be prepared for the questions that would come.
