During Chris Sakowski’s first year at Marlboro High School, Marlboro, he signed up for an elective class in business management. But since he was the only student to register, the school cancelled the class and asked him to choose another. Electronics was his lucky pick. “I immediately fell in love with the class, the teacher, and the subject matter,” recalled Sakowski, now a senior. “And I’ve not lost an ounce of passion since then.”

NJIT Professors Available To Discuss Power Outage and Cell Phone Failure

Tue, 19 Aug 2003 00:00:00 -0400

“The tripping of the transmission line could be caused by a lightning strike, sagging of the line and subsequent shorting out or the faulty setting of a relay.” --Walid Hubbi, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering “In the northeast, the grid is integrated so that if one area needs more power, another area gets less. The grid is based on that dependency and there is very little room for isolation. If one area gets overloaded, the system shuts off.” --Atam Dhawan, Ph.D.,, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering “Cell phones failed Thursday because the network was overloaded with a high volume of calls. The networks are not designed to handle that load. The industry would have to build more antennae base stations to handle that volume, which is too expensive.” --Symeon Papavassillou, Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
