Rizwan Baig, chief engineer of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, visited NJIT to give a presentation on building the 21st-century transportation system. His talk, covering the architectural, design, construction and asset management aspects of the agency, highlighted the agency’s plan to revitalize infrastructure that is essential to economic growth and vitality.
Two NJIT projects have been awarded as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) Program. The $1.2 million program funded 16 different student-based projects throughout the country to research and develop innovative solutions that address environmental and public health challenges.
The NJIT projects will tackle water quality and the detection of “forever chemicals” in the air.
Recently, the ingenuity of Newark College of Engineering’s brightest first-year students was on full display at the 2024 NCE First Year Engineering Design Showcase.
Six NJIT researchers have secured grants in the latest round of funding provided by the New Jersey Health Foundation (NJHF), which has increased its funding in both its Community Health, Social Services and Education Program, as well as its traditional research program this year.
The $4 million round of funding brings the NJHF’s total to $70 million since the inception of its annual grant program.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) proudly announces the establishment and endowment of the Janet McIntosh Riley Scholarship. Funded by a generous gift from alumnus Darryl P. Riley '83 and his wife Katrin, this scholarship will help cover tuition, fees and room and board for Black and African American undergraduate students who have financial need and are pursuing degrees in chemical engineering or architecture.
From laptops to cars, society has come to rely on rechargeable batteries — and the demand is only growing. This surge means researchers are racing to figure out the most efficient ways to manage this type of energy storage.
In an era of frequent, powerful storms, fast-spreading wildfires and global pandemics, communities are discovering their vulnerabilities when they can least afford it.
“We need to rethink what it means to be resilient. I use the boxing analogy ‘roll with the punches’: the ability to absorb the shocks of extreme events and recover quickly,” says Michel Boufadel, the director of NJIT’s Center for Natural Resources. “But to do so, the whole system needs to work together. It doesn’t matter if the power stays on, but 90% of the roads are closed.”
Leaders from the wind power industry, state and federal agencies, venture capital firms and higher education will gather at NJIT in December for a conference about the technology driving the development of energy from wind.
The dedication of the lobby of the most popular residence hall at New Jersey Institute of Technology was truly a family affair.
While accepting the recognition, Donald Dinallo, a builder whose company, Terminal Construction Corp. in Wood-Ridge, N.J., led the construction of Maple Hall, stood before a crowd that included his wife, children and grandchildren. A contingent of work colleagues, NJIT leaders and students also were on hand.
Students in NJIT’s Center for Pre-College Programs (CPCP) summer offering saw first-hand what a career in STEM looks like thanks to Stryker opening its doors to its medical technology and manufacturing facility.
Stryker showed off its half-million square-foot Mahwah campus and the innovation within developed by its engineers and technologists: new-material implants getting people back on their feet in hours instead of days, additive-manufacturing processes unlocking the full potential for design and its state-of-the art Mako surgical robot.
