Pre-College Workshops Bring STEM to Educators and Families Alike

Thursday, January 17, 2019
When Parsippany High School’s Kathy Effner heard about NJIT’s Center for Pre-College Programs’ (CPCP) Try Engineering! workshop for educators, she was intrigued — particularly since it featured a hands-on project at the university’s new 10,000-square-foot Makerspace. This past October she attended that event and, along with middle and high school instructors from throughout New Jersey, learned practical applications of engineering concepts before visiting the high-tech facility. There, huddled in small groups, they all had the opportunity to use 3D printers to create keychains from a design...

An Egyptian-American Engineer Does it Her Way. Intel Approves.

Friday, December 21, 2018
For Dina Ayman’s parents, the road to medical school beckoned enticingly to their gifted daughter, a driven student with a love for math and science. The profession, they argued, would eagerly welcome a woman of her talents. But Ayman ’18, M.S. ’18, did not hear that call. And she resisted. “From the seventh grade, my dream was to become an engineer, because I enjoyed studying math and physics and that’s what engineering meant to me,” she recalls, adding that she kept the dream alive despite her parents’ concerns that “engineering is not a field for girls and that the world might not allow...

Physicist Ken Chin Wins an Edison Patent Award for Next-Generation Solar Cell Technology

Friday, November 2, 2018
Physicist Ken Chin, a scientist, author and inventor, received a Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award last night from the Research & Development Council of New Jersey for his work on a promising new method for advancing sustainable energy production: next-generation solar cells. Chin focuses on improving the performance and efficiency of thin-film solar cells based on cadmium telluride (CdTe), which are potentially a lower-cost alternative to silicon because they require fewer natural resources to produce electricity and take up much less space on buildings. “What we’re interested in is...

East Coast Meets West Coast at Honors College Virtual Networking Event

Wednesday, October 31, 2018
On a Wednesday afternoon, in a handful of rooms along the second-floor corridor of Albert Dorman Honors College, NJIT students and alumni networked, albeit not in person. The five participating alumni appeared on screen via Webex from the West Coast for the college’s Virtual Silicon Valley Networking event, interacting with and answering questions from small groups of students that rotated from room to room every 15 minutes. Alumni Maria Karim ’05 Honors, a manager at Topcon (also formerly of Intel); Salman Naqvi ’10 Honors, a display exploration engineer with Apple; Phong Pham ’10 Honors...

Louis Berger Fellowship Supports Real-World Practice

Wednesday, October 31, 2018
“Of course, NJIT will always have a special place in my heart as the institution that provided the foundation that continues to inspire me today,” noted James Stamatis ’85, chief executive officer of Louis Berger, a full-service engineering, architecture, planning, environmental, program and construction management and economic development firm based in Morristown, N.J. The company, he pointed out, “has had a long and successful partnership with NJIT, dating from my years as a student [there] to the present, with the university the source of many of our finest employees.” This relationship...

NJIT Researchers Published for Discoveries in Battery Technology

Thursday, October 25, 2018
NJIT researchers are finding alternative solutions to a material that has become an essential, yet costly, building block in the supply chain of today’s smart device-driven world — cobalt. Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering Dibakar Datta and his research team were recently published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, a prestigious journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Professor Datta’s team, alongside collaborators from three other universities, have computationally designed electrode materials and procedures that reduce the cobalt concentrations in ubiquitous...
