New Jersey Institute of Technology, also known as NJIT, is a public research university located in the University Heights neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey, United States. NJIT is the science and technology university of the state of New Jersey.[6] Centrally located in the greater New York metropolitan area, its campus is within walking distance of downtown Newark. New York City, 9 miles (14.5 km), and about twenty minutes away, is directly accessible from campus via the Newark City Subway and the PATH rapid transit system.[a][7]

Founded in 1881 with the support of Newark's 19th-century industrialists and inventors especially Edward Weston[8] (334 US Patents), NJIT opened as Newark Technical School in 1884. Problem-solving and application oriented from inception, the school grew into a classic engineering college - Newark College of Engineering (NCE) - and then, with the addition of a School of Architecture in 1975, into a technology-oriented university that is now home to five colleges and one school: Newark College of Engineering; the College of Architecture and Design; the School of Management; the Albert Dorman Honors College;[9][10] the College of Science and Liberal Arts; and the College of Computing Sciences.[11]

NJIT opened with 88 students most of whom attended part-time. Presently (spring 2013), the university enrolls 9,944[4] students more than 1,600 of whom live on campus. Increasingly residential, the school's Warren Street Village, an on-going, mixed-use, 3-acre (1.2 ha) construction project, will provide on-campus housing for an additional 600 students including 360 Honors College students later this year. NJIT's 48-acre (19.4 ha) campus was extensively re-landscaped in the past decade.[12] Most of its 28 buildings are new or newly refurbished. Architecturally significant buildings include Eberhardt Hall, the Campus Center, and the Central King Building - the old Central High School of Newark in the Collegiate Gothic style.

NJIT offers 126 degree programs including 48 undergraduate (Bachelor of Science/Arts) majors,[13] and 78 graduate (Masters and PhD) programs.[14] The university is organized into 27 academic departments. Three departments, Biological Sciences, History, and Theater Arts, are federated with Rutgers–Newark whose campus borders NJIT's.[15] With a student population that is almost 20% international NJIT consistently ranks among the 10 most ethnically and culturally diverse national universities in the country.[16][17] It has multiple study abroad options along with extensive co-op, internship, and service opportunities.[18][19] The university awarded 2,118 degrees in 2012 including 1006 Bachelors, 1048 Masters, and 64 PhDs.[20] According to PayScale (2013), NJIT ranks 15th among Engineering Schools and 28th among Research Universities in the US by Salary Potential.[21][22] According to the Princeton Review, in 2012, NJIT was voted as having the third least happiest students.[23]

A leader in attracting first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students into STEM fields, the university has participated in the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program since 1999.[24] Via its Honors College NJIT has developed several professional degree programs in collaboration with nearby universities.[25] For example, it offers a program in medicine (M.D.) with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey; an accelerated engineering + law dual degree (BS, JD) with Seton Hall Law School; and programs with Rutgers–Newark that lead to degrees in Public Health, and Urban Systems. It also offers a program in Optometry (O.D.) with the SUNY College of Optometry in Manhattan.

Research at NJIT has grown substantially in the past decade, exceeding $102 million in 2012.[26] Areas of focus include: nanotechnology, material science, biomedical engineering (including stem cell research), signal processing, transportation planning, and solar physics. Regarding the latter, the school operates both the Big Bear Solar Observatory (optical), and the Owens Valley Solar Array (radio). A leader in applied mathematics, its Department of Mathematical Sciences is recognized as one of the most productive in the country.[27] NJIT also focuses on economic development, a prime example of which is the Enterprise Development Center (EDC), an on-campus business incubator established in 1988 that currently houses 88 start-ups.[28][29] An early leader in distance learning - it trademarked the term "Virtual Classroom" - the university offers a wide range of on-line courses and degrees. NJIT is a participating Internet2 member, and has been since 2005. In 2010 it joined the Open Courseware Consortium.[30]

With 18 varsity and 7 intramural teams, the "Highlanders" compete in the Great West Conference (Division I), the Atlantic Soccer Conference (Division I), the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, and the Great Northeast Collegiate Hockey Conference (ACHA Division II). NJIT is a member of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. It is also a sea-grant college, and a member of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture.

The recently resigned president, Robert A. Altenkirch, was inaugurated on May 2, 2003. He succeeded Saul K. Fenster, who was named the university’s sixth president in 1978.[31] On January 9, 2012, NJIT Trustees named Joel Bloom president.[32]

History [edit]

The New Jersey Institute of Technology has a history dating back to the industrial age.

In 1881, an act of the New Jersey State Legislature essentially drew up a contest to determine which municipality would become home to the state's urgently needed technical school. The challenge was straightforward: the state would stake "at least $3,000 and not more than $5,000" and the municipality that matched the state's investment would earn the right to establish the new school.

The Newark Board of Trade, working jointly with the Newark City Council, launched a feverish campaign to win the new school. Dozens of the city's industrialists, along with other private citizens, eager for a work force resource in their home town, threw their support behind the fund-raiser. By 1884, the collaboration of the public and private sectors produced success. Newark Technical School was ready to open its doors.

The first 88 students, mostly evening students, attended classes in a rented building at 21 West Park Street. Soon the facility became inadequate to house an expanding student body. To meet the needs of the growing school, a second fund-raiser—the institution's first capital campaign—was launched to support the construction of a dedicated building for Newark Technical School. In 1886, under the leadership of the school's dynamic first director, Dr. Charles A. Colton, the cornerstone was laid at the intersection of High Street and Summit Place for the three-story building later to be named Weston Hall, in honor of the institution's early benefactor. A laboratory building, later to be called Colton Hall, was added to the campus in 1911.

Dr. Allan R. Cullimore led the institution from 1920 to 1949, transforming Newark Technical School into Newark College of Engineering. Campbell Hall was erected in 1925, but due to the Depression and World War II, only the former Newark Orphan Asylum, now Eberhardt Hall, was purchased and renovated by the college in the succeeding decades. Cullimore left an unpublished history of the institution dated 1955.[33]

As of 1946, about 75% of the freshman class had served in the armed forces. Cullimore Hall was built in 1958 and two years later the old Weston Hall was razed and replaced with the current seven- story structure. Doctoral level programs were introduced and six years later, in 1966, an 18-acre (7.3 ha), four building expansion was completed.

In 1975, with the addition of the New Jersey School of Architecture, the institution had evolved into a technological university, emphasizing a broad range of graduate and undergraduate degrees and dedication to significant research and public service. While Newark College of Engineering remains, a new university name—New Jersey Institute of Technology—was chosen to represent the institution's expanded mission.

Eberhardt Hall

The establishment of a residential campus and the opening of NJIT's first dormitory (Redwood Hall) in 1979 began a period of steady growth that continues today under the 2005 Landscape Master Plan. Two new schools were established at the university during the 1980s, the College of Science and Liberal Arts in 1982 and the School of Industrial Management in 1988. The Albert Dorman Honors College was established in 1994, and the newest school, the College of Computing Sciences, was created in 2001. As of 2008 there are 4 residence halls on campus: Redwood Hall, Cypress Hall, Oak Hall, and Laurel Hall.

In 2003, the launch of the new Campus Center on the site of the former Hazell Hall centralized campus social events. Construction of a new Atrium, Bookstore, Information Desk, Dining Hall, computer lab, and new student organization offices continued into 2004. In 2005, a row of automobile chop shops adjacent to campus were demolished. In 2006, construction of a new off-campus residence hall by American Campus Communities commenced in the chop shops' prior location. The new hall which opened in 2007 is dubbed the University Centre.

Also in 2005, Eberhardt Hall was fully renovated and re-inaugurated as the Alumni Center and the symbolic front door to the university. Its restored tower was the logo of the former Newark College of Engineering and was designed by Kevin Boyajian and Scott Nelson. A rebranding campaign with the current slogan, "NJIT - New Jersey's Science and Technology University - The Edge in Knowledge", was launched to emphasize NJIT’s unique position as New Jersey's preeminent science-and-technology-focused research university.

Recently, the school has changed its accredited management school into AACSB-accredited business school. The business school focuses on utilizing technology to serve business needs. The school benefits from its close location to New York City; the financial capital of the world. It is located 25 minutes from Wall Street. The school has also strong academic collaboration with Rutgers business school.NJIT has a tie-up with Heritage Institute of Technology for summer internships.

In 2009, the New Jersey School of Architecture was transformed into the College of Architecture and Design (CoAD). Within the college, the New Jersey School of Architecture continues, and it is joined by the newly-established School of Art + Design.[34]

In June 2010, NJIT officially completed its purchase of the old Central High School building[35] which sits in between NJIT and Rutgers–Newark campus. With the completion of the purchase, Summit Street (from Warren Street to New Street) would be totally converted into a pedestrian walkway from a public street. The existing old 'Central High School' building is earmarked to be extensively renovated, preserved and used as classrooms as per the Campus Master Plan[36] which includes tearing down of Kupfrian Hall to create more greenery.

As of the fall of 2011, the university has 6.103 undergraduate students, 2,916 graduate students, over 10,000 continuing education students, 416 full-time faculty, 88 adjuncts, and over 44,000 alumni. The male-to-female student ratio is 4:1 and the student-to-faculty ratio is 13:1.[3]

Admissions [edit]

The average SAT score (math + verbal only) for enrolling freshmen in Fall 2011 was 1140. [4]

The average SAT score (math + verbal only) for enrolling freshmen to Honors College in 2008 is 1323 and a GPA of 3.65.[5]

The minimum SAT score (math + verbal only) for enrolling freshmen to the Accelerated BS/MD program (combined with University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey) is 1400. [6]

Schools and Colleges within NJIT [edit]

  1. Newark College of Engineering (NCE) [7]
  2. College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA) [8]
  3. College of Architecture and Design (CoAD) [9]
  4. School of Management (SOM) [10]
  5. Albert Dorman Honors College (ADHC) [11]
  6. College of Computing Sciences (CCS) [12]

Albert Dorman Honors College [edit]

Albert Dorman Honors College, the honors institution at NJIT, was formed in 1985 with the intention to help high achieving students perform to their full potential. Students in the Honors College have a chance to study and interact with other high achieving students as well as distinguished faculty members.[37][38] Honors college students are not only backed by academic performance, but also by athletics or co-curricular participation.[39]

Research [edit]

Big Bear Solar Observatory

The university is known foremost for its research capabilities in many fields, especially nanotechnology, solar physics, polymer science, and the development of a smart gun technology.[citation needed] The university research centers include the National Center for Transportation and Industrial Productivity and SmartCampus. The university hosts the Metro New York FIRST Robotics office. The university also hosts the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research which owns and operates the Big Bear Solar Observatory, the world's largest solar observatory, located in Big Bear Lake, California, and operates the Owens Valley Solar Array, near Bishop, California.

Owens Valley Solar Array

In the past, NJIT was home to the Computerized Conferencing and Communications Center,(CCCC), a premier research center for furthering the state of the art in Computer-mediated communication. The systems that resulted from this research are the Electronic Information Exchange System (EIES), as well as the continuations: The Electronic Information Exchange System 2 (EIES2), and the Tailorable Electronic Information Exchange System (TEIES). One of the foremost developments of EIES was that of the Virtual Classroom (TM), a term coined by Dr. Starr Roxanne Hiltz. This was the first e-learning platform in the world, and was unique in that it evolved onto an existing communications system, rather than having a system created specifically for it. Their missions completed, the CCCC and EIES were terminated in the mid-90s.

The university currently operates a Class-10 cleanroom and a Class-1000 cleanroom on campus for academic and research purposes[40] including counter-bioterrorism research.[41]

The university also maintains an advanced 67-node supercomputer cluster in its Mathematics Department for research purposes.
