About the author

Newark College of Engineering was the name used for what is now the New Jersey Institute of Technology for much of the 20th century. The school traces its roots to 1881, when it began as the Newark Technical School, created to provide practical technical training for an industrializing city.

Over time, the institution expanded its programs and reputation in engineering, architecture, science, and applied research. Historical material from NJIT’s archives describes the Newark Technical School and Newark College of Engineering as central stages in the school’s development before it adopted the NJIT name.

Because this is an institution rather than an individual author, there does not appear to be a single author portrait that would fit an “About the Author” profile image. For that reason, the profile image is left empty.
