In a new article featured in Communications of the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM), NJIT Distinguished Professor Julie Ancis explores how cyberpsychology — the study of the two-way relationship between people and technology — is reshaping modern computing.

New Jersey Institute of Technology's newly-announced Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Enterprise AI will be available to students beginning in fall 2026, with the intention of developing next-level professionals that extends beyond a traditional technical degree.

Girlhacks 2025 continued its legacy of providing a place for women and non-binary students in technology to take the lead in bringing ideation to realization through its annual 24-hour Major League Hacking (MLH) sanctioned hackathon where everyone — including the men — are invited to compete.

Think twice about eliminating those pesky ants at your next family picnic. Their behavior may hold the key to reinventing how engineering materials, traffic control and multi-agent robots are made and utilized, thanks to research conducted by recent graduate Matthew Loges ’25 and Assistant Professor Tomer Weiss from NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing.

Computer Science education has gone through boom-and-bust cycles before.

The best-known ones happened in the mid-1980s after the PC boom and in the early-2000s after the dot-com boom. There are reasons to believe that computing in general will recover from the current bust, but there might be a shift away from basic computer science to data science and artificial intelligence (two closely related fields).

NJIT is pioneering a safer, more secure campus infrastructure through a partnership with Splunk, a leader in enterprise security, and TekStream Solutions, experts in digital transformation. Together, they are strengthening vital internal campus systems and creating a model for other colleges and universities — all while students are provided with real-world, experiential learning.

Words have meaning – and so do sounds. They can signal danger, establish a setting or create a mood. But what if you have a complete or partial hearing loss?

Even then, how these subtle audio cues are communicated is dependent on the preferences and needs of the individual.
