In the midst of its ongoing $400 million campus metamorphosis that has – among other aspects – seen the addition of more than 1 million square feet of new space, Newark-based New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) today presented the creation of its School of Applied Engineering and Technology (a unit of NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering), at a ceremony featuring an array of speakers. When fully implemented, the school will serve some 2,200 students via approximately 34 staff instructors and about 100 auxiliary faculty. A bevy of baccalaureate degree programs ranging from mechanical engineering technology to electrical engineering technology and manufacturing engineering technology, for example, will be offered.
