Samantha Montalbine '26 always knew that she liked engineering. She was team captain of her middle-school robotics team in Brooklyn, and at Freehold Township High School she took engineering classes and served as president of the Technology Students Association.

But when Montalbine applied to New Jersey Institute of Technology's Newark College of Engineering, she was uncertain about which engineering track would be the right one for her. She ended up choosing mechanical engineering for an unconventional reason.

Childhood friends from Bergen County — two seniors and an alumnus — are jointly forming a startup company, MechSense Labs, to apply what they’ve learned at New Jersey Institute of Technology in designing emergency rescue equipment.

MechSense’s first invention is a robotic rover called NodeRover, employing artificial intelligence to make its own decisions and ad-hoc wireless mesh networking to stay in touch, especially in dangerous situations or hard-to-reach locations that are too risky for human responders.

If you’ve ever picked up a Tom Ford fragrance or reached for an Aveda haircare product, you’ve already encountered Laszlo Moharita’s work — whether you realized it or not.

NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering brought together alumni, students, faculty, staff and industry partners for its 28th Annual Salute to Engineering Excellence, an evening that celebrated the people and partnerships helping shape the college’s future.

Held April 16 at Stone House at Stirling Ridge, the annual event highlighted achievement across the NCE community. Proceeds from the night will support experiential learning and NCE competitive student teams and organizations.

Engineering students at New Jersey Institute of Technology waste no time turning ideas into reality. 

From their first semester, NJIT undergraduates are challenged with imagining and designing technologies that explore practical applications for engineering principles. On March 6, students from the Newark College of Engineering (NCE) gathered to share their work at the 2026 First Year Engineering Design Showcase. 

A new seminar series at the New Jersey Institute of Technology encourages students to consider sustainability-based solutions for civil infrastructure and environmental systems.

Engineering has been called "the art of the possible," so it's no wonder that engineers of all types are investigating the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence.

Scientists have captured the first-ever measurements of needlelike microscopic metal structures as they grow in lithium-ion batteries.

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.

Online education programs at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) rank among the top 100 in the country, according to the U.S. News & World Report. NJIT earned high marks across degree-granting programs in business, engineering and information technology.
