125 Years at the Edge In Knowledge

"NCE gave me the foundation, which I was able to build on. The college not only gave me great academics, but gave me the nitty gritty of things...the practicality that one would need."
                                          --Frederick M. Coppersmith, 1933, mechanical engineering

"The students I meet today at NJIT have the knowledge and energy to build great careers. I hope they will also experience the satisfaction of helping others and participate with them in a good life with fun along the way."
                                                         --Gilbert W. Glass, 1941, mechanical engineering

"Bob Van Houten and Bill Hazell made it clear to us that ‘giving back’ to society goes along with the abilities that enabled us to enjoy the benefits that a college education would bring to life."
                                                                 --Ian G. Durand, 1958, electrical engineering

"NCE really helped me mature and I met a lot of good people. It was a great experience in every respect."
                                                        --William J. Lanenau, 1967, mechanical engineering

"NCE gave me the education to understand technically sophisticated equipment and systems, and the ability to handle rigorous workloads, assets that have been helpful throughout my career."
                                                                    --Rian J. Wren, 1978, electrical engineering

"NJIT provides the best of several worlds. It has grown into a world-class research university that also offers an outstanding engineering education. The diversity of students at NJIT is important as well, because it really prepares you for working in a global economy."
                                                             --Erhan Atay, 1980, MS 1982, civil engineering

"I was really good at math and science in high school but unsure about a college major. The suggestion that I consider chemical engineering was great. It was also a time when encouragement for young women to build careers in science and technology was on the rise."
                                                      --Diane Sarlo-Montalto, chemical engineering, 1982

"I received a great education in a field where I could take what I learned in the classroom and apply it to changing things in the real world."
                                                          --Paul A. Sarlo, 1992, MS 1995, civil engineering

"The EOP program at the university is truly a giant family. My advisers encouraged me to be an active visible member of that family.  My life will always be richer for having listened to them."
                                                                  --Maria Karim, 2005, computer engineering
