A small indigenous Ecuadorian community now has clean spring water thanks to a passionate group of engineering students at the NJIT Chapter of Engineers Without Borders. The initiative started in 2016 as part of an independent project led by Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Jay Meegoda. Students in his classes were tasked with the design and implementation of a spring cap to clean and increase the supply of water from a natural spring in the Cotopaxi Province.
Three of NJIT's online graduate programs placed among the top 100 in this year's U.S. News & World Report rankings of American universities, and in the top three for New Jersey institutions.
Civil engineering students from NJIT, Princeton, Stevens Institute of Technology, and three area high schools competed in a 3D-printed bridge competition at NJIT’s Makerspace that saw NJIT students taking home a first place prize in the “Stiffest Bridge” category. Both the collegiate and high school divisions were judged on five categories: best presentation, least support material, fastest assembly time, best aesthetics, and stiffest bridge.
