New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is one of the nation's best colleges for students seeking a superb education with great career preparation and at an affordable price according to The Princeton Review®. The education services company profiles NJIT in the recently published 2018 edition of its annual guide, Colleges That Pay You Back: The 200 Schools That Give You the Best Bang for Your Tuition Buck. In order to make the list, institutions must demonstrate a strong academic program and affordability, and offer strong opportunities for career prospects after graduation. A return on...

NJIT Inventors are Beating New Paths to the Marketplace

Monday, January 29, 2018
NJIT inventors, including a growing number of ambitious student entrepreneurs, are beating new paths to the marketplace. Most recently, Treena Arinzeh, director of NJIT’s Tissue Engineering and Applied Biomaterials Laboratory, won a grant from the University City Science Center in Philadelphia to commercialize technology to reduce the recovery time and cost associated with bone graft procedures. Arinzeh received $100,000 from the Science Center’s QED Proof-of-Concept Program, which NJIT is matching, to further develop and deploy a bioactive composite matrix she invented to serve as a...

Engineer Peter Engler Relives the WWII Shanghai Ghetto in the New PBS Series, "We'll Meet Again"

Monday, January 22, 2018
Peter Engler was four years old when his family fled Berlin in the wake of Kristallnacht, the infamous “Night of Broken Glass.” Stateless, their passports stamped “J” for Juden by the Nazis, the Englers made their way to Shanghai, one of the only free ports in the world at the time. Soon after arriving, they were confined to a mile-square Jewish ghetto by Japanese occupiers. Despite their abrupt dislocation and strange new surroundings, the educated Englers, with viable professional skills, survived fairly well. And they made close friends, mostly notably with an Austrian couple, Fritz and...

NJIT Technology and Society Forum Presents: Resolving Complex Fluid Flows

Monday, January 22, 2018
From large-scale weather or environmental disaster predictions and efficient design of vehicles and power generators, to understanding how bacteria propel themselves and how nutrients are delivered to different organs in our body at the cell level — researchers will need to find new ways of studying the complex flow of liquids, gases and plasmas that drive or characterize intricate climatic, transportation and biological systems. In his upcoming Technology and Society Forum presentation, Joseph Katz will demonstrate how today’s latest multidimensional high-speed flow visualization...

Research that Ranges from Pipelines to Proteins

Wednesday, October 4, 2017
The research that Assistant Professor of Physics Cristiano Dias is pursuing has the potential to expand our knowledge of phenomena that can affect the creation of dangerous obstructions in undersea pipelines transporting natural gas and the formation of protein-based fibers in the brain related to diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Spanning disciplines and departments, it is work that underscores NJIT’s commitment to encouraging interdisciplinary investigation that promises not only to increase fundamental scientific knowledge, but which also offers the possibility of significant practical...

Students Search for Insights into the Brain and Behavior

Wednesday, September 13, 2017
Learning is very much a hands-on experience for Nicole Andanar, Hannah Gattuso, Yasmine Ghattas and David Liptsyn, NJIT undergraduates enrolled in Albert Dorman Honors College who are working with Associate Professor Eric Fortune, Department of Biological Sciences, to explore the unknowns of how the brain uses sensory information to influence behavior. In Fortune’s Laboratory in the Central King Building, they’re advancing research that engages them, in a very personal way, with experiments involving fish that navigate by means of electric fields and birds that sing incredibly complex duets...

The Art of War: Engineering Protective Gear for 21st Century Soldiers

Tuesday, January 17, 2017
Battle-inflicted head injuries are as old as war itself, evidenced by the copper helmets worn by Bronze Age soldiers to deflect blows from spears and axes. Over the ensuing millennia, as weapons evolved, so did armor. Today, the powerful explosive devices of 21st century warfare have once again raised the stakes, prompting urgent calls to re-engineer protective gear. With two major grants from the U.S. Department of Defense, NJIT will help meet this challenge by investigating the effects of shock waves on the brain in order to design and test helmets that can withstand the penetrating blasts...
