As students return to campus this fall, NJIT and universities around the country face the challenge of adhering to COVID-19 preventative measures such as social distancing and mask use, while also maximizing the usage of the available resources and learning spaces on campus. One of the techniques deployed at NJIT is converged learning, where only a fraction of the students enrolled in a course are physically present in a classroom while the remainder participate online.

The M2CU, a mobile medical care unit designed from a shipping container, is standalone, fast to build and easy to deploy throughout the existing global shipping container infrastructure. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been named a top college according to The Princeton Review in the newest edition of its college guide, "The Best 386 Colleges," a designation only about 14% of America’s 2,800 four-year colleges have earned. NJIT also received honors as a top college in the Northeast region and a Best Value college.

Voluminous amounts of data can be overwhelming to even the most experienced professional. That was the experience of Roberto Rivera, a senior research analyst with NJ TRANSIT. Spending his days immersed in large data sets, Roberto realized that continuing his education would provide him with additional skills and training to help him manage the increasingly data-intensive nature of his work.

A team of researchers from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have developed an algorithm through machine learning that helps predict sites of DNA methylation – a process that can change the activity of DNA without changing its overall structure – and could identify disease-causing mechanisms that would otherwise be missed by conventional screening methods.

The paper was published online by the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.

Communicating by sound underwater works great for dolphins and whales, so an NJIT expert decided to try a new variant of this method for autonomous vehicles, divers and sensors, too.

Radio signals used by traditional wireless devices become too weak underwater, explained Ali Abdi, a professor of electrical engineering and director of the Advanced Communication and Signal Processing Laboratory, in NJIT’s Center for Wireless Information Processing.

In a robotics lab spilling over with 3D-printed parts, engineering students are gutting toy trucks, SUVs, sedans and two-door Mini Coopers and refitting them with custom-designed systems: laser-cut side mirrors, wheels that can parallel park and a braking system that employs algorithms to control an electric motor, thus enabling soft and hard breaking, idling and taxiing.

Three master's degrees and five graduate certificate programs are now available to Ying Wu College of Computing students in the NJIT​ @​JerseyCity location.

Smartphone owners who unlock their devices with knock codes aren't as safe as they think, according to researchers from NJIT, the George Washington University (GW) and Ruhr University Bochum in Germany.

Knock codes work by letting people select patterns to tap on a phone’s locked screen. LG popularized the method in 2014, and now there are approximately 700,000 people using this method in the U.S. alone, along with one million downloads worldwide of clone applications for Google Android devices generally, the researchers said.

More than 20 employers have been recognized by NJIT’s Career Development Services (CDS) as the university’s top recruitment partners, based on their 2019 hiring numbers. The honors mark the seventh consecutive year that CDS has paid tribute to employers for their engagement with and recruitment and hiring of students.
