Goldwater Scholarships, among the nation’s most prestigious honors for undergraduates pursuing STEM research careers, have been awarded to two NJIT juniors whose academic excellence, research experience and professional ambitions have already set them apart.

This year’s recipients are Albert Dorman Honors Scholars – Aditya Mahalingam, a biology major in the Jordan Hu College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA), and Arwa Ouali, a chemical engineering major in the Newark College of Engineering (NCE).

A live Bloomberg Radio broadcast from NJIT put the university’s environmental research into a much wider public conversation, as hosts Scarlet Fu and Paul Sweeney brought their weekday “Bloomberg Intelligence” program to campus and mixed NJIT faculty and researchers into the show’s regular coverage.

NJIT’s Dana Knox Research Showcase filled the Bloom Wellness and Events Center with student research spanning science, engineering, computing, management and the humanities. With poster presentations, two-minute elevator speeches and Board Day luncheon attendees moving through the event, the showcase offered a cross-disciplinary snapshot of research activity across the university.

When Chris Wunderlich was finishing his final semester at New Jersey Institute of Technology, he had two job offers sitting in front of him. One was from Picatinny Arsenal, the U.S. Army's premier research and manufacturing hub for weapons systems, where he would have gone deep into warhead design. The other was from DeSisti, an Italian lighting and rigging company headquartered on Route 22 in North Jersey. He took the job with the Italians.

The Albert Dorman Honors College brought together students, alumni, faculty and staff on April 8 for its second annual Alumni Recognition and Dorman Awards Reception, an evening at NJIT’s Highlander Pub that celebrated achievement across generations of the honors college community.

Engineering students at New Jersey Institute of Technology waste no time turning ideas into reality. 

From their first semester, NJIT undergraduates are challenged with imagining and designing technologies that explore practical applications for engineering principles. On March 6, students from the Newark College of Engineering (NCE) gathered to share their work at the 2026 First Year Engineering Design Showcase. 

High school students from across the region brought engineering concepts off the page and into practice at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s David Good 3D Printed Bridge Competition, where high school teams were challenged to design, assemble and test 3D-printed bridges under real performance criteria.

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.
