On a Saturday in late June, 12 surveying engineering technology (SET) students, one adjunct professor and one faculty professor — all from NJIT — headed to the lower lake in Newark’s Branch Brook Park. Outfitted with a 15-foot Jon boat and a range of high-tech equipment provided by SET industry partners, they were there on a very special mission: to determine the volume of water in the lake for possible future dredging, and measure the volume of algae in the lake for removal.
