Their expertise ranges from technologies to improve infrastructure in some of the most urbanized regions on the planet to some of the remotest. Philip Pong, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, focuses on advanced sensing devices to enhance visibility, or “eyes in the field,” that provide power systems the data they need to monitor conditions and make decisions.

In NJIT’s Materials and Structures Laboratory, Noah Thibodeaux is concocting a series of concrete mixtures containing varying levels of old, pulverized roadway. The lab, which is working with the New York City Department of Transportation to determine the feasibility of using recycled aggregate in new projects, is focused on its near-term performance and durability over time, as well as its impact on the environment. 

U.S. News & World Report has released its 2022 rankings for the nation’s top graduate schools, with NJIT ranked among the best for graduate degree programs in engineering. The university slots in this year at No. 88 — up 23 positions in the past seven years — and has been included on the distinguished list since 2003. The 2022 rankings mark the sixth consecutive year NJIT has appeared in the top 100.

Noise has an outsized impact on quality of life for urban residents, but it can be hard to monitor and regulate. Cities, which have limited resources to enforce noise codes, often chase transient sources that disappear before inspectors arrive hours or days later.

For the second straight year, New Jersey Institute of Technology has broken its record for first-year student applications with a total of more than 11,250. All five of NJIT’s academic colleges experienced increases, led by a 21% jump from the Martin Tuchman School of Management, which eclipsed 1,000 applicants for the first time.

New Jersey Institute of Technology has been ranked in three subject areas in the 2021 QS World University Rankings By Subject list, marking the third year in a row NJIT has earned a spot on the global ranking.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, President Daniel Chamovitz of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and President Joel S. Bloom of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have unveiled a partnership that will create a world-class Institute for Future Technologies in New Jersey. Two powerhouse universities in the fields of cyber technologies and environmental engineering will come together to offer dual degrees and exciting new research opportunities. The Institute looks forward to receiving support and seed funding from the State of New Jersey.

High-tech hip and knee implants that not only return immobile people to walking, but to the tennis court. 3D printed models of patients’ anatomy that allow physicians to plan and practice complex operations in advance. Novel peptide-based hydrogels, also bioprinted, that are injected, self-reassemble in tissue spaces and deliver drugs and other small cargo over days and months. Looking ahead, but perhaps not too far, fully functional, human-scale tissues and organs that are capable of replacing failed organs.

NJIT alumna Dayrene Martinez, who earned her electrical engineering degree in 2018, recently published a textbook of Python computer programming after mastering the language as a systems engineer for defense contractor Raytheon.

NJIT students have broken three university records so far this year in pursuit of Fulbright scholarships, submitting a historic high of 11 applications, followed by another milestone achievement – the elevation of six to the semifinal round, including a first-ever candidate for study in the U.K., one of the most competitive countries.
