NJIT researchers will look to continue a successful string of space-bound studies at the International Space Station (ISS) when a new payload of experimental samples launches to the station with the SpaceX CRS-20 commercial cargo resupply mission on Mar. 7.
Jan. 6, 2020 -- As part of SpaceX’s CRS-19 resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched Dec. 5, researchers from NASA, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and New York University (NYU) are set to begin a new scientific investigation to explore how a group of microscopic particles considered key “building blocks” for materials and products here on Earth, known as colloidal particles, behave and form in zero-gravity.
They headed out at 8 a.m. on a Friday in September for a whirlwind excursion of Manhattan-based startups, accelerators, incubators and venture capital firms. And after traversing the city, between midtown and downtown, they returned to NJIT at day’s end with a firsthand view and better understanding of the world of entrepreneurship.
This week, nearly 50 of the year’s most promising NJIT student-researchers gathered to present their work to the campus community at the university’s annual year-end research competition — the 2019 Dana Knox Showcase “A Glimpse Into the Future.”
U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 rankings for the nation’s top graduate schools are in, and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been ranked No. 89 for its graduate degree program in engineering — marking the third consecutive year that the university has been listed among the Top 100. This year, NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering is also celebrating its 100th anniversary of public service through engineering.
Beginning this month, Newark College of Engineering (NCE) will kick off a year-long celebration of its 100th anniversary with a series of awards ceremonies, galas, historical tributes and engineering competitions to commemorate the school’s “Century of Public Service Through Engineering,” while inspiring NCE students to pursue new feats in engineering design and technological wizardry.
In building upon its deep and close relationship with the city in which it resides, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is partnering with the City of Newark and the Newark Public Schools on two new and important initiatives. NJIT President Joel S. Bloom, Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Newark Board of Education Superintendent Roger León announced The Mayor’s Honors Scholars Program and the NJIT/Newark Math Success Initiative (MSI) at a news conference, held Feb. 27 at Newark City Hall.
On Friday, February 15, six teams of exemplary students from NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering (NCE) put their outstanding engineering design research on display at this year’s “NCE First-Year Showcase” competition.
The purpose is twofold: “tap into the creative and forward-thinking minds of young people, and at the same time, encourage students to take a more active role in understanding and shaping health care.” Indeed, the second annual Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Horizon BCBSNJ) Health Care Transformation Challenge yielded new apps and devices designed by college students with their peers top of mind.
