Summer Research Institute
The HSRI is an eight week (6/4/18-7/27/18) educational activity intended to foster innovative thinking, interdisciplinary research collaboration among and between Honors scholars, near-peer review/mentoring.
Each week, participants will be introduced to and explore the wide-range of research done at NJIT through near-peer research presentations, discussions and critiques. These weekly sessions will be moderated by Honors faculty and staff.
Given the value of this educational experience, full participation in the HSRI will entitle a scholar to a one Honors coursework reduction. A pre-requisite for participation in the HSRI is full-time research at NJIT during the eight week term that the Institute meets. While we expect all interested scholars to apply for support through other mechanisms (ex. Provost Summer Research Fellowship), there are a very limited number of $2500 fellowships to support Scholars’ faculty-directed research during the HSRI term.
All application forms and proposals MUST be received by 5 PM EST on May 4, 2018.

Undergraduate Research Snapshot: Jennifer Callaghan Investigates Bullet-Proof Armor, read the article here.
(Above) Jennifer Callaghan (center) and Ayushi Sangoi, a biomedical and chemical engineering major, use an impact hammer to conduct modal testing, a form of vibration testing, as adviser Kyle Dobiszewski looks on. This type of testing characterizes the frequency response of a sample material — in this case, a commercially available ballistic fiberglass panel. Their work is supported by an FY18 Faculty Seed Grant.
