Please support one of New Jersey Institute of Technology’s (NJIT) pioneering researchers in her pursuit of a highly competitive award for work on concussion diagnosis and VISION therapy. Voting ends Tuesday at 9 a.m.

The school year is back in swing and teachers in New Jersey have returned to the classroom with new computer science skills acquired this summer at NJIT’s Ying Wu College of Computing.

The teachers, from three school districts, were students this summer at NJIT in a CS 100 course titled “Python Programming and Introduction to Computer Science.” They attended class side-by-side with NJIT students.

College Factual, a leading source of higher education analytics and insights, has ranked NJIT in the top 15 percent nationwide in the overall “Best Institution” category for 2019, a 61-place jump compared to 2018 rankings.

NJIT is now ranked 251 out of a 1,779 institutions nationwide, and 5 out of 33 in N.J., a jump of three positions in the state.

The “Best Institution” category looks at several specific factors to generate their score, including: student body caliber, educational resources, degree completion and post-graduation earnings.

Associate degree students from Essex County College (ECC) are now able to seamlessly transfer into appropriate and/or corresponding bachelor’s degree programs at NJIT.   

Live streaming social media platforms such as Twitch are shrinking the distance between broadcasters and their viewers, who watch them and comment in real time.

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.

Second-year students taking computer science (CS) classes at NJIT will learn to resize dynamic arrays, balance binary trees and implement hash tables from a software engineer employed by the largest social networking company in the world.

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.

NJIT welcomed several special guests to campus Aug. 7 for a showcase representing the culmination of the Ras Baraka Coding Institute (BCI) at NJIT, part of the Newark Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). The program offers participants work experience with a summer income while teaching them valuable employment skills. More than 3,000 students take part every year, 40 of whom have spent this summer at the university immersed in either coding or architecture (the latter through NJIT’s Newark Beautification Community Gardens Initiative).
