New Jersey Institute of Technology graduate programs in business and engineering are again represented in the latest U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools rankings, with several engineering specialties improving their standing and the Martin Tuchman School of Management earning a set of first-time specialty rankings.

Environmental and natural disasters challenge engineers to think about designs that not only withstand damage, but also protect the environment and communities. To that end, a new seminar series at the New Jersey Institute of Technology encourages students to consider sustainability-based solutions for civil infrastructure and environmental systems. 

Undergrad Aiden Finley Lim ’29 woke up the morning after participating in the nation’s toughest undergraduate math competition with a number stuck in his head — one that, as it turned out, he would surpass on his way into NJIT record books.

Lim, a mechanical engineering major in the Albert Dorman Honors College with a minor in applied mathematics, entered the 86th William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition back in December — a six-hour exam widely regarded as the most daunting collegiate math contest in North America.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is partnering with Made Scientific, Inc. to help develop a new graduate bioprocessing elective within NJIT’s Master of Science program in Chemical and Materials Engineering. Launching in Spring 2027, the course is intended to prepare students for work in cell and gene therapy manufacturing while further strengthening NJIT’s ties to New Jersey’s growing biopharma sector.

Engineering has been called "the art of the possible," so it's no wonder that engineers of all types are investigating the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence.

Students come to New Jersey Institute of Technology to learn — but they also have a chance to teach. 

A group of NJIT undergraduate and graduate students recently shared their STEM expertise with students in grades 3 to 5 from dozens of New Jersey schools, providing guidance as teams experimented with microcontroller technology to address issues affecting their communities. Their efforts culminated in a day of prototype and poster presentations at NJIT, held March 19 as part of the university's eSTEM Challenge.

A student proposal focused on restoring biodiversity, strengthening the Second River edge and deepening community engagement at Branch Brook Park was selected as the winning concept in NJIT’s latest Albert Dorman Honors College biodiversity initiative. 

The proposal, “Living Parks by Parks for People,” emerged from a presentation session in which six student teams each delivered five-minute proposals shaped by field research, biodiversity data and conversations with park visitors.

Chemistry and chemical engineering majors learn to make all kinds of compounds and solutions, but an afternoon focusing on the design and packaging of facial serum was probably a first for them.

That’s what happened on March 11 when 50 students gathered in NJIT’s Agile Strategy Lab, with the multipurpose room serving as an actual laboratory, for hands-on training in the science of cosmetics development.

Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the U.S., with more than 100,000 cases diagnosed each year. But some people develop a highly aggressive form of colon cancer that is extremely rare, making up 0.02% to 0.1% of all colon cancers.

A trio of students from New Jersey Institute of Technology have been selected as the inaugural recipients of STEM scholarships from The Aunt Betty Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing the burden of student loans taken on to pay for higher education.

The awards follow a competitive selection process that drew roughly 100 applicants. Seven finalists were interviewed and ultimately three NJIT students were selected: Mitchell Rodriguez of Dunellen, Amir Hayes of Newark and Joshua Hernandez of Teaneck.
