Honors Team Taps Inventive Skills to Help Handi-capable Dancer
The call was put out to NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC) this past spring and nine Dorman Scholars answered it. Their charge was to design and construct a tap-dance board for a handi-capable wheelchair user — a patient at Mount Sinai Health System in Manhattan who would be participating along with able-bodied dancers in the inaugural performance of the nonprofit, all-abilities dance troupe, Tap: On Tap. The performance was held at the hospital Oct.

This First-Gen College Student Is Becoming a Leader and Making an Impact
Kamela Chandrika, a soft-spoken third-year biomedical engineering major, remembers some of the challenges she faced during her first days at NJIT — like going to the Bursar’s Office to pay her tuition bill, but not knowing how to fill out a check.
Tech Treatment: NJIT Re-engineering Team Helps Local Emergency Department
Saint Barnabas Medical Center (SBMC) in Livingston, N.J., is no stranger to accolades. Among other notable rankings, the acute-care teaching hospital has received 16 A ratings in a row from the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, and is one of less than 41 hospitals in the country to achieve this consistency.
An NJIT Engineer Proposes a New Model for the Way Humans Localize Sounds
One of the enduring puzzles of hearing loss is the decline in a person’s ability to determine where a sound originates, a key survival faculty that allows animals – from lizards to humans – to pinpoint the location of danger, prey and group members. In modern times, finding a lost cell phone by using the application "Find My Device,” just to find it had slipped under a sofa pillow, relies on minute differences in the ringing sound that reaches the ears.
NJIT VentureLink Inventors Fortify Weak Links in the Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
The surge in mail-order drug deliveries, amid rising temperatures and climate volatility, presents a growing challenge to the security of the pharmaceutical supply chain. Every time vaccine is subject to excessive heat or cold, for example, its potency may be diminished, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A single exposure to freezing temperatures can destroy a batch entirely.
