M.S. in Occupational Safety and Health Engineering (OSHE) program complements the undergraduate BMET program by providing further education in the applied healthcare and biomedical fields. This combination prepares students for careers involving safety and industrial hygiene/ergonomics. The OSHE curriculum has been designed in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), which sponsors the program.

About the Program

Students enrolled in the BMET undergraduate curriculum can pursue the M.S. OSHE option by being accepted into the NJIT BS/MS program. This allows students to take up to 3 graduate courses in their senior year, where up to 2 of the courses will apply for both degrees. These courses in OSHE include Legal Aspects of Health and Safety, Safety Engineering Methods, Industrial Hygiene and Occupational Health, Applied Industrial Ergonomics, Applied Statistics and Epidemiology for Hazard Analysis, and Systems Safety.   

Students interested in this option should take the following class as a technical elective as part of their BMET curriculum: Human Factor (IE 355). This class will serve as a prerequisite for the graduate OSHE classes.

Upon completion of the program, students can explore a wide range of career opportunities in industries such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, food processing, healthcare, and automotive. These industries offer diverse and rewarding roles that align with the skills and knowledge gained from the MS in OSHE program.

About the Program

Biomedical Engineering Technology students will focus on courses specializing in Materials and Processing, Biomedical Mechatronics, Imaging, Sensors, & Systems, and an industry rotation. 

These courses will help develop skills related to design, manufacturing, sales & distribution, data analysis, and project management. Exposure will be given to various biomedical devices, manufacturing process of biomedical materials, and the regulatory landscape.

The program will prepare students for applied careers in technical areas including: medical devices, tissue engineering, food processing, patient-specific implants and technologies, medical image processing, rehabilitation technologies, and medical software development and implementation.

The Biomedical Engineering Technology (BMET) program is a full four-year curriculum, which also provides an opportunity for transfer students with A.A.S. degrees to complete their baccalaureate degree. In the case of all students,
both four-year and transfer, a minimum of 120 credits is required for graduation.

About the Program

The School of Applied Engineering & Technology’s (SAET’s) General Engineering undergraduate program provides students with an opportunity for multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary study. The program provides breadth in a range of engineering, science and mathematics courses while providing flexibility to develop depth in specialized areas. A degree in General Engineering is structured to address the rapidly changing needs of the engineering and science fields. This program is informed by the needs of industry, education, and government organizations.

Graduates of the General Engineering B.S. program will:

1. Advance in diverse positions and career paths requiring collaboration, communication, problem solving, design, analysis, and development.
    
2. Use their multi-disciplinary knowledge to develop customized industry and business solutions informed by diverse global and societal needs.
    
3. Continue to take advantage of opportunities for life-long learning and professional development to further their careers.
    

Students work closely with their academic adviser to select an existing concentration or develop a custom plan of study to meet their interests and the program graduation requirements.

Students from the General Engineering program will attain (by the time of graduation):

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

About The Program

The School of Applied Engineering & Technology’s (SAET’s) Engineering Science graduate program provides students with an opportunity for multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary study. The focus is on applied work with programs informed by the needs of industry, education, and government organizations.

M.S. in Engineering Science

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Engineering Science allows students to customize an M.S. to align with their academic and professional pursuits. Working with an advisor students can select graduate courses from different colleges at NJIT. This includes:

• Newark College of Engineering
• College of Science and Liberal Arts

A minimum of 30 credits is required structured with a course only, masters project, or master’s thesis options. A number of applied areas of study could be pursued including:

• Engineering Design
• Advanced Manufacturing
• Autonomous Vehicles
• Geospatial Research
• Data Science Applications in Engineering
• Renewable Energy
• Sustainable Construction

The Engineering Education Concentration is an example of a developed area of study.

BS/MS in Engineering Science:
The BS/MS Program allows undergraduate students to earn credits towards their NJIT master’s degree. Students with a GPA of 3.0 or higher can take up to 6 graduate-level credits and students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher can take up to 9 graduate-level credits. Undergraduate students must have an overall GPA of 3.0 or better, an average GPA of 3.0 or better in Math courses, and a  C or better in all Math courses.

M.S. in Engineering Science-Engineering Education Concentration

The M.S. in Engineering Science-Engineering Education Concentration (ES-EEC) prepares professionals with the background, tools, and skills to apply engineering education in both industry and academia. The development of lifelong learning and continuous educational systems are critical for success in today’s competitive technology-driven economy. These types of systems require a background in curriculum development, and assessment of learning outcomes. The ES-EEC program can be individually tailored to make students subject matter experts in these areas. The multi-disciplinary graduate-level coursework in engineering, statistics, and education can be applied in several areas. This includes:

• Technical training programs throughout an organization.
• Product Education for entrepreneurs, technical sales force, and marketing.
• People Management for executives, managers, and supervisors.
• Career development programs in human resources.
• K-12 and higher education program developers and instructors.
• Experiential Learning organizations (e.g. Maker Movement). 

ES-EEC graduates will be equipped with the competencies critical for the development, implementation, and evaluation of effective educational and training materials that fosters growth and performance in the technical workforce.

Advising Holds for Registration

Every semester an advisor hold is placed on the account of every NJIT student. This is normal. For SAET students, to have the advising hold removed, you must fill out a Course Approval Form for the upcoming semester. Even if you meet with an academic advisor, you must still fill out the form to have the hold removed. Do no wait till registration begins to do this. Plan ahead and schedule time to meet with your advisor early.

Course Approval Forms

Click here to access the Course Approval Form. Holds will not be removed immediately; it will take time for an advisor to review your submission; complete this form early. If you submit the form at least 1 week before registration begins, your hold will be removed prior to the beginning of registration. The form is typically available about 2 weeks prior to the beginning of registration.
