Persevere, be authentic, remain flexible and make a difference in the world, speakers told the Class of 2025 at New Jersey Institute of Technology’s undergraduate commencement.
Threaded throughout the body are networks of capillaries so miniscule that red blood cells must contort to squeeze through them one at a time. It is this world that Peter Balogh brings to dynamic, 3D life on computer screens.
As most students were buried in final exams last December, Iniobong Ofonime took an extra assignment outside her usual work as an engineering student — rather than applying mathematics to solve problems, she decided to profile an inspirational mathematician.
Her efforts have added up to a first-place finish among undergraduates in the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) national essay competition, announced fittingly on International Women's Day.
The spirit of innovation and hands-on learning was in full force at the Newark College of Engineering's (NCE) annual First-Year Engineering Design Showcase, a highlight of National Engineers Week. This popular event, a testament to NJIT's commitment to early-stage practical engineering experience, saw NCE’s brightest first-year minds — 180 presenters on 51 teams — show their innovative projects.
NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College held its First-Year Seminar Biodiversity Initiatives colloquium, in which six student-led proposals were presented to increase and sustain biodiversity through a campus planting. This year’s plan focused around a renovation near Faculty Memorial Hall.
These student-driven initiatives allow for the Urban Ecology Lab (UEL), ADHC, the Real Estate Development and Capital Operations (REDCO) and the Office of Sustainability to team up together to make NJIT’s campus into a more sustainable and biodiverse community.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has taken a significant step in its commitment to advancing artificial intelligence by establishing the Grace Hopper AI Research Institute (GHRI). The institute is a key component of NJIT's $10 million AI Initiative aimed at enhancing the university's capabilities in AI research and applications.
Robert Cohen, president of Digital, Robotics, and Enabling Technology at Stryker, and a distinguished alumnus of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), has been elected to the prestigious National Academy of Engineering (NAE). This honor, one of the highest professional distinctions in engineering, recognizes Cohen's outstanding contributions to orthopedic surgical procedures and devices, and his leadership in additive manufacturing and biomaterials.
The Femino family legacy at New Jersey Institute of Technology started with a child’s admiration for his engineer uncle.
Growing up, Dr. Frank Femino ’85 looked forward to visits from his uncle, Peter Garippa ’51. Not only did Femino go on to become a Highlander himself — all three of his sons did as well.
“He was my inspiration to study mechanical engineering and go to NJIT, and then it inspired my three sons to go. It really is a legacy of NJIT for us,” said Femino, an orthopedic surgeon who practices in Nutley, N.J.
Robert Cohen, chair of NJIT’s Board of Trustees and president of Stryker’s Digital, Robotics, and Enabling Technologies organization, will be honored at the Tri-County Scholarship Fund (TCSF) 43rd Annual Awards Dinner. This event is set for Oct. 28, 2024, at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, and will gather more than 800 attendees.
Robert Cohen, a three-time NJIT alumnus, will receive the Hall of Fame Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the medical device industry and his dedicated support of education.
Carson Williams is returning to his native Texas after earning a master’s in engineering management at New Jersey Institute of Technology, a year after he earned a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering there.
He feels thoroughly prepared for his associate account representative role at Daikin Applied, an HVAC systems manufacturer in Austin. Why? Because he developed a broad range of skills in a series of experiences on and off campus, both as a grad student and undergraduate.
