IEEE Fellow Guiling “Grace” Wang, distinguished professor, associate dean for research, and founding director of the AI Center for Research in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC), has been awarded the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society 2023 Best Land Transportation Paper Award.

Nautical nonsense is something they wished, and it was granted at this year’s edition of HackNJIT, where almost 400 students from New Jersey Institute of Technology and many other schools completed 63 ocean-themed projects.

Artificial intelligence experts from ADP, Amazon and Maersk highlighted this year’s NJIT Data Science Summit, hosted by the university’s Institute for Data Science.

The summit began in 2022 with Google and IBM presenting about hardware and ethics. This year’s focus was on generative AI, large language models and how they’re used in the business world.

Eight Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) students have recently begun their journey as members of the elite CyberCorps® Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program during fall 2023 through the NJIT Secure Computing Initiative (SCI), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Researchers at NJIT and Universidad Carlos III of Madrid wanted to know if mixed-reality games could be improved by handing control to artificial intelligence software in the form of conversational language applications — it turns out they can, but the results may put players in danger.

A record number of students and alumni attended New Jersey Institute of Technology’s latest Career Fair — 3,300 — with some 240 companies looking to fill more than 1,000 jobs, internships and cooperative education experiences.

The macro numbers were impressive — for the third straight fair — but it was smaller moments that students appreciated most, such as the opportunity to talk one-on-one with representatives of companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Mars and Campbell Soup. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s annual tradition of recognizing university faculty who have excelled as researchers, scholars and instructors took place Oct. 4 in the Central King Building’s Agile Strategy Lab.

“We celebrate the achievements of our faculty and educators here today not because of what they bring to the classroom or the laboratory, but because of the lives they change,” said John Pelesko, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs. “We celebrate their commitment to our common goal of student success and the pursuit of knowledge.” 

Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) has made history at New Jersey Institute of Technology. Enrollment at YWCC has jumped 12% over the previous record-breaking year to 4,641 students, and now accounts for 37% of the total enrollment at NJIT.

Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) is proud to formally announce the appointments of six new assistant professors who have joined the departments of Computer Science, Data Science and Informatics. They will begin their tenure as educators and researchers during a time of unprecedented growth for the college and NJIT, particularly in the area of enrollment, with a total of 4,581 YWCC students across all degrees entering the university for the fall semester. This accounts for 35% of NJIT total enrollment and marks an approximate 9% increase over the previous record-breaking year. 

LunaTech, a web application where players can learn about space from a cartoon cat and send their professors into orbit, won first place in GirlHacks 2023 at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

The application is the brainchild of Fizah Fahad, Adrianna Rust and Ayushi Sangoi, who combined to win a $1,500 cash prize for their efforts. The trio coded in CSS, JavaScript, Python and a NASA programming interface.
