Bryan Pfister, a pioneer in the study of brain injuries and their impact on the central nervous system and human behavior, is a newly inducted Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society.
Three-time NJIT graduate Mohab Hussein has returned to his alma mater as a university lecturer after holding significant engineering roles on two of New Jersey’s most closely watched infrastructure efforts: the Hudson Tunnel project and the Route 80 abandoned mine collapse emergency response.
New Jersey Institute of Technology alumni are helping shape one of New Jersey’s most significant public-space transformations — and they are doing it by pulling current NJIT students directly into the work.
Andrew Chegwidden '17 was recently named Young Professional of the Year by The Dewatering Institute (TDI) in recognition of his accomplishments in groundwater control. The award, which honors dewatering industry experts under the age of 35, was presented at TDI's annual conference on Nov. 12, 2025, at a ceremony held in Amsterdam.
“Where do I find…” is the preponderant question from visitors to New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Van Houten Library — distributed across four levels and 56,000 square feet — so the library staff held a hackathon to find a better solution than just traditional signs.
New Jersey Institute of Technology Ph.D. student Günel Nabiyeva has co-authored a new study in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science that demonstrates how engineering tools can accurately predict how sunscreens “feel” on the skin — bridging scientific measurement and human perception.
The collaboration, which began through a National Science Foundation (NSF) INTERN supplement and continued under NJIT’s Experiential Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP), connects academic research with industrial product development at Colgate-Palmolive.
As New Jersey advances its Energy Master Plan (EMP), modernizing the state’s power transmission infrastructure has become a critical priority. On Monday, Dec. 10, NJIT will host the New Jersey Future Energy Transmission Conference: a joint event with Rowan University for a premier industry-driven forum.
Entrepreneurship lessons are being added to introductory engineering courses at New Jersey Institute of Technology in 2026, where students will be motivated to learn front-end product research and digital drafting by designing their own products.
The adjustment is the second recent change to MET-103, Engineering Graphics and Introduction to CAD, which in 2025 gained additional laboratory time for students to practice using the complex software.
Amid growing demand for licensed engineers and new infrastructure investment, NJIT is partnering with industry to make graduate education more accessible for working professionals — offering firms a way to upskill their engineers while expanding the state’s talent pipeline.
When Saly Tanyous ’26 walks across the stage at NJIT this spring, she won’t just be accepting her degree, she’ll be celebrating a journey marked by resilience, discovery and the courage to find her true path in engineering.
Born in Egypt, Tanyous moved to the United States in sixth grade and settled in Jersey City with her family. The transition was difficult. As a child who excelled in her Egyptian classrooms, she was suddenly navigating a new culture, a new language and the fear of falling short. “I used to cry every day, worried about failing,” she recalled.
