Capstone projects, done in collaboration with companies, are a requirement for every senior in the Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), but two teams of students have exceeded expectations with a pair of solutions that Bank of America (BofA) counts as more than class projects.  

GirlHacks, an annual event produced by NJIT's Women In Computing Society, partially returned to campus this spring and continued emphasizing its openness to minorities rather than only females.

The event, in which most entrants develop mobile applications, was last held virtually in October 2020 when COVID was a major theme.

NJIT’s student newspaper, The Vector, continues making its journalistic voice heard — the paper is the recipient of several awards from U.S. college media contests recently.

The Vector was named the Corbin Gwaltney Award winner for “Best All-Around Student Newspaper” (among large universities) at the Society of Professional Journalists Region 1 Mark of Excellence Awards, beating out competition from the likes of Hofstra University and Boston College. 

DataSourceNJ, as a startup and non-profit organization aiming to democratize access to local public data, is turning to NJIT's Ying Wu College of Computing for technical expertise in data access, organization, analysis and visualization.

The organization is led by entrepreneur Michael Goldstein, data analyst Greg Frank and veteran journalist Rod Hicks, who believe that clever software can give small newsrooms and the general public access to information previously limited to corporations, national-level media and people with deep pockets.

Sports provide an everyman's opportunity to explain statistical analysis, and the rejuvenated NJIT Data Science Club is all-in.

The club already has more than a dozen members and is led by action-hungry graduate students Jake Byford and Parth Patel, president and vice president respectively, who both stepped up when most members of the previous Machine Learning Club graduated last year.

NJIT has been ranked the top school in New Jersey for students to study game design, according to Animation Career Review. NJIT also reached No. 20 for schools in the East.

Some might say that Sam Itman’s direction in life was preordained by his last name, as this “IT man” has had a passion for technology since childhood. He states that he became infatuated with technology because “it presents a world of opportunities to those who are willing to discover them.” As a senior B.S.

An NJIT computer scientist studied COVID vaccine data from Minnesota to design equitable methods of distributing vital resources during any widespread emergency.

The resulting algorithm showed that giving everyone equal access to vital resources isn't necessarily the best approach, depending on the methods and desires of emergency authorities, explained Pan Xu, assistant professor in Ying Wu College of Computing.

Imagine designing an inexpensive, flat and strong structure that bends perfectly into Spaceship Earth from Disney's EPCOT theme park.

NJIT's Przemyslaw Musialski, associate professor of computer science, believes his latest research is a step in the right direction, sitting at the intersection of architecture, computing and geometry.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has reaffirmed its status among the nation’s most elite and productive research institutions by once again achieving an R1 status — the highest designation — by the Carnegie Classification.
