Tobiloba Fashae knew he wanted to learn how to design the technology of the future while still attending Hunterdon Regional High School. At first, it was automotive engineering since he’s an avid fan of high-performance sports cars. During an isolated year of self-reflection in his senior year of high school, he found his calling in industrial design. Now, he’s a freshman at NJIT’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design and an Albert Dorman Honors Scholar.

Among the honorees at this year’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards at NJIT were seven members of the Class of 2021 who earned the Outstanding Undergraduate Award.
