Professional accolades started arriving early in the career of Matthew P. Adams, an associate professor of civil engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and co-director of the Materials and Structures Laboratory (MatSLab). In 2015, Adams was still working toward his Ph.D. when he was recognized by the American Concrete Institute (ACI), earning their Young Member Award for Professional Achievement for his work supporting young professionals in the concrete industry.
A trio of undergraduates studying concrete industry management at New Jersey Institute of Technology, which is one of only five colleges nationwide offering a B.S. in that field — earned special recognition this semester in competitions and scholarships.
New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Paul Profeta Real Estate Technology, Design and Innovation Center and the Martin Tuchman School of Management hosted their first “Innovation in Real Estate” symposium, a day featuring academic leaders, government officials and technology, real estate and construction professionals.
In NJIT’s Materials and Structures Laboratory, Noah Thibodeaux is concocting a series of concrete mixtures containing varying levels of old, pulverized roadway. The lab, which is working with the New York City Department of Transportation to determine the feasibility of using recycled aggregate in new projects, is focused on its near-term performance and durability over time, as well as its impact on the environment.
