NJIT student Akhyurna Swain has a plan to save $15 million per year in the maintenance and operational costs of New Jersey's offshore wind turbines.

Swain, studying for her Ph.D. in electrical engineering, determined that non-intrusive monitoring technology controlled by magnets can be paired with machine learning software to realize the impressive cost savings for an 1,100-megawatt project which will begin construction in 2024.

At NJIT, students  are  “learning  on  an  Ivy  League  level,”  getting  “practical  career-focused  education”  at  “a  fairly  affordable  price.” - The Princeton Review

New Jersey Institute of Technology has again been named a top college according to The Princeton Review in its 31st edition of its college guide, "The Best 388 Colleges," a designation earned by only about 14% of America’s four-year colleges. 

After concluding their eight-week summer program, NJIT students presented their startups, giving them an opportunity to experience entrepreneurship and business creation.

The Highlander Foundry program is a summer startup incubator that helps NJIT students and alumni grow with the same techniques and strategies that launched many of the top startups today. 

When it comes to diversity, Ken Colao leads by example.

More than a third of the 90 staffers ­— 38% — at his construction management company, CNY Group, is Black, Indigenous or other people of color (BIPOC). Also, in an industry not known for gender balance, women comprise nearly a third of the staff and have earned 62% of the promotions in the past three years. 

The CEO of an NJIT-born startup made NJBIZ’s list of the Next Generation of Leaders.

John Vito d’Antonio-Bertagnolli, who holds both a bachelor’s and master’s in biomedical engineering from NJIT, where he was an Albert Dorman Honors College Scholar, leads OculoMotor Technologies (OMT), a vision therapy company that launched in 2018.

Associate professor at NJIT’s School of Applied Engineering and Technology, Laramie Potts, works to ensure his students in the Surveying Engineering Technology program have the opportunity to experience the technological instruments the career has to offer. With the creation of a home-brew mobile autonomous surveyor vehicle, Potts wants to make the students’ experience more complete. 

NJIT's electrical and computer engineering department hosted 65 girls representing 40 high schools in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania last week, teaching the students about opportunities in technical fields where females are historically overlooked.

NJIT students have found excellent work in co-ops and internships this summer. It is a great way to gain real-world experience in their field of study, and to network with professionals in their chosen field. And, of course, the added benefit of earning money to help pay for tuition and other expenses.

Next up for NJIT biomedical engineering graduate Amal Shabazz: the Ph.D. program in bioengineering at the University of Maryland. But first, the Albert Dorman Honors Scholar has a 10-week summer internship at Pfizer in Andover, Mass.

Her four years in University Heights were filled with helpful mentors, key internships and welcoming peer groups that collectively helped opened the door to graduate school. In an interview, she shares what she gained and where she hopes it leads.

Ayushi Sangoi, 23, a Newark, N.J., resident and researcher at New Jersey Institute of Technology has been named one of 2022’s MLH Top 50 – a list compiled each year by Major League Hacking (MLH) of the organization’s most inspiring community members. The recipients are recognized for their exceptional contributions to the tech ecosystem and STEM education.
