Mechanical engineering senior Eshita Shah knows full well the value of CDS career fairs. The Belleville, N.J., resident, who moved to the U.S...

As towering cranes and forklifts shuttled brightly colored containers from ships to trucks in Port Newark-Elizabeth Marine Terminal last week, Cameron Bennett ’22 was also busy inside the port loading human-scale cargo to go back out to sea.

Soon headed down south for a position with the Georgia Power Company, where he will apply the mechanical engineering knowledge he gained at NJIT, Ojoye vividly remembers being introduced to Dr. Harris...

A robotic fleet built to penetrate dark and narrow cave passages, cellular studies into alcohol’s role in hastening neurodegeneration in people with HIV, plants that absorb pernicious pollutants from the air and new methods for eliminating noise from data searches are a few of the research projects that drew students back to campus laboratories this summer. The students themselves are just as diverse: a team of physics, engineering and industrial design majors from NJIT; a group of eight international students from Kolkata, India’s Heritage Institute of Technology; an aspiring neurosurgeon...
