NJIT Global Positioning System Base Station Added To National Reference Geodetic Framework


NJIT now has a Global Positioning System (GPS) continuously operating reference stations (CORS).

GPS is a satellite-based worldwide positioning and navigation system developed by the Department of Defense for military purposes, but is now commonly used in a wide range of civilian applications, such as mapping and transportation.

CORS provides GPS carrier phase and code range measurements in support of 3-D positioning activities throughout the United States. CORS are monitored and coordinated by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration's National Geodetic Survey (NGS).

Surveyors, geographic information system professionals, engineers, transportation specialists, scientists and others can apply CORS data to determine the position of points at which GPS data have been collected. Because these stations meet rigid standards for instrumentation and operation and are monitored continuously, the positional accuracy of these stations is known at the centimeter level coast to coast. Using the CORS system for local mapping and engineering projects enables positioning accuracy that approaches a level of a few millimeters, both horizontally and vertically. Currently, there are about 140 CORS in the United States. A map of these stations, which includes NJIT's, can be found at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/Cors_coverage.html

A project, led by Joshua Greenfeld, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering and coordinator of the surveying engineering technology program at NJIT, was instrumental in establishing CORS on campus. The GPS antenna is installed on the roof of Colton Hall and the data processing is performed in the Remote Sensing/GIS laboratory inside the building. NJIT's station is one of only 10 in the United States that collects data at a five-second rate. Most CORS collect data at a 30-second rate. Higher data rates enable more accurate positioning. NGS publishes the data nationally under the station name "NJIT."

Leica GeoSystems and the New Jersey Society of Professional Land Surveyors (NJSPLS) funded the project. Leica GeoSystems donated the sophisticated GPS equipment, including a choke-ring GPS antenna, a GPS controller and the base station software. NJSPLS donated computers used for running the base station software and for providing Internet access for NGS, which logs onto NJIT's base station every hour, downloads the data, performs quality checks and then places the data on a server for public access. The United Water Company of New Jersey constructed the antenna through the facilities management office.

Transfer Enrollment On The Rise

Transfer student enrollment for the fall 1998 semester significantly increased over the previous year, according to the Office of University Admissions.

Enrollment for transfer students totaled 491, the largest transfer class in the past five years. The greatest source of transfer students continues to come from New Jersey community colleges, which is indicative of the increasingly important role of the joint admissions and articulation agreements that NJIT has with many two-year schools. Women comprised 25 percent of the new class and 62 percent of the new class registered for a full-time course load.

The Office of University Admissions encourages the NJIT community to assist in the recruitment of transfer students. For information and a copy of the full report on the 1998 transfer class, contact Petra Knox, ext. 5786.

High School Students Get Taste Of Engineering

Some 1,200 high school juniors and seniors from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania gathered at NJIT, Dec. 3-4, to investigate a university-level engineering program first-hand.

Representatives from the six engineering disciplines taught at NJIT's Newark College of Engineering (NCE) - mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, computer and industrial engineering - presented demonstrations. Each department also offered separate informational sessions.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of engineering jobs in the U.S. labor market is expected to grow by 18 percent in the next decade, with some 250,000 new jobs being created in the field. Electrical engineering is expected to grow by 28.5 percent.

During this growth in opportunities, the nation appears headed toward a shortage of engineers, according to NJIT President Saul K. Fenster. Currently in New Jersey, a state known for its research-based and technologically driven economy, only seven percent of high school seniors intend to pursue careers in engineering. Nationally, that average is closer to 10 percent.

"As our nation, and the world, turns more and more toward a knowledge-based economy, it is critical that students prepare for a rapidly changing, technology-based environment," said Fenster. "NJIT's competitive engineering curriculum will do just that."

"Students who pursue careers in engineering will gain the flexibility they need to compete as high level professionals in a rapidly changing world," said S.T. Mau, dean of NCE. "Engineers are the link between scientific discovery and a useable product, and they often move to management because of their analytical skills."

Women's Basketball Team Has Eye On Playoffs

Coach Kim Barnes Arico enters her second season at NJIT with high hopes after last year's disappointing 5-21 record.

"We are shooting for the conference playoffs,'' said Barnes Arico. "We have talented new players and all of our starters are returning from last year. The enthusiasm and intensity is up. Last year, I recruited a number of talented student-athletes. The returning players are looking for a chance to play while the newcomers should give us the depth we need to be in every game."

The coach's optimism is fueled by the return of 5-10 senior forward Sharon Kukal, who averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds per game and was selected to the All-New York Collegiate Athletic Conference second team.

Lauren Daley, a 6-3 junior center who transferred from Fairleigh Dickinson University at Madison, will take the pressure inside off Kukal by rebounding. Veronica Mullen, a 5-8 freshman, has been implemented into the starting swing forward position.

Forwards junior Luisa Guardado, sophomore Melsha Winchester, and freshmen Tenille Jordan and Aulina Presendieu will support the front line. All will supply much needed offense and
rebounding.

"The front line players will allow us to be more balanced," said Barnes Arico. "Last year, we focused on going to Sharon Kukal. This year, we will be able to open up. Our size has improved tremendously and we now have good depth at the forward position."

The point guard is last year's starter, 5-7 sophomore Jackie O'Connor, while junior college transfer Kerri Ann Gavin, a 5-5 junior, and 5-5 freshman Naima Tryman will play the other guard position.

Other guards include 5-5 junior Tania Feliz, a good defender who was a part-time starter last season, 5-5 sophomore Odelia Pyron, a shooting guard, and 5-6 freshman Gretchen Kubiak, who has quickness and good passing instincts.

"Many of the new players come from excellent programs that achieved success," said Barnes Arico. "They know the fundamentals and they know how to win. I'm looking forward to the challenge. We're much improved and I'm optimistic. Last year, we lacked depth, but we stayed together. This year, we have the talent and we have the depth. We are working to get everybody on the same page and moving toward a common goal. If that happens, we'll be happy with the results.''

Book Features Analysis Of Mechanical Systems

An NJIT professor has authored the first textbook in which there is a comprehensive development of methods featuring dual-number, coordinate-transformation matrices used in the analysis of mechanical systems.

Ian Fischer, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, had his book, titled "Dual-Number Methods in Kinematics, Statics and Dynamics," published by CRC Press LLC. The book is a research monograph, but can be used as a text in a graduate course.

The book features many figures to illustrate concepts and applications, examples, exercises, and C++ programming methods, an application of the features of a modern programming language to exploit the compact dual-number notation and materially reduce the amount of drudge work necessary to solve problems in mechanical design.

Faculty And Staff Campaign Update

Contributions to the Faculty and Staff Campaign help provide much needed scholarships for NJIT students. NJIT's scholarship endowment can lessen the financial burden so many students face. Approximately 70 percent of all NJIT students receive some form of financial assistance (need and merit based) and 21 percent will not receive money for college from their families.

A high participation rate in the Faculty and Staff Campaign demonstrates to alumni, corporations and foundations a commitment to the university, which helps to build the university's case for their support.

Gifts may be designated to specific departments, college or a particular scholarship fund. Departments also can pool their gifts for a specific purpose. For example, the Department of Mechanical Engineering may consider contributing to the Mary Sullivan Memorial Lecture Series.

Symposium Highlights Career Opportunities For Math Majors

More than 70 teachers, guidance counselors and students from 17 area high schools gathered at NJIT, Nov. 18, to learn about career opportunities in the mathematical sciences. The symposium, sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences, also highlighted programs offered at NJIT.

"The symposium pointed out that if a student enjoys mathematics and excels in mathematics, then that student should not hesitate to get a degree in mathematics because there are many fulfilling career opportunities available," said Bruce Bukiet, associate professor of mathematics.

Guest speakers from industry included James McKenna, formerly of Bell Labs and Bellcore, Thomas Spencer, of AT&T Labs, and Vincent Senia, '86, an actuarial science major now with Crum and Forster. All spoke about what an individual with a math degree can expect in industry.

Erik Gordon, '96, '97, an applied mathematics major, discussed his experiences at NJIT and in his job at Instruments SA. Michelle DeBonis, '98, an applied mathematics major and valedictorian, discussed research opportunities available to her at NJIT. Claudine Liverpool, a junior majoring in actuarial science, praised the program and student services provided by the department.

"The audience members were impressed with the presentations and expressed surprise that such a jewel as NJIT exists in their own backyard," said Bukiet.

NJIT President Saul K. Fenster and Provost William Van Buskirk made remarks and presentations were made by the Honors College, admissions, Educational Opportunity Program and the master's in applied science program.

While welcoming the guests, Daljit Ahluwalia, chairperson of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, spoke of the commitment to teaching, applied research and service to students.

Holidays Can Be Costly

The season of generosity and memory making is upon us.

Family, friends and colleagues gather and exchange greetings and gifts.

The season is an easy time to overspend. Credit cards fill in when cash reserves are low. A few days into the New Year, many may dread the arrival of mail.

Now is the time to assess spending demands. A budget, including how many months you'll allow yourself to pay off a purchase, is one option. Shopping only with disposable cash, provided you leave the ATM card home, is another.

In 1999, you can consider a holiday club to save money. A small amount saved weekly provides a nice nest egg in 10 or 11 months. A decision to pay up and close out high interest cards will save a tremendous amount. Add up what you have paid in interest charges and you may find the dollar amount would cover most holiday shopping sprees.

If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by holiday stress and impending bills, a credit agency may be the answer. Generally, they will help you get rid of unnecessary credit cards and design a schedule to repay any outstanding balances.

If you have questions about budgets or credit agencies, contact the Employee Assistance Program, ext. 3293, or email Conrad@admin.njit.edu.

The assistant dean at the NJIT at Mount Laurel campus represented NJIT at Delran High School's annual American Enterprise Day.

Garry Keel spoke of the importance of education beyond high school and the many opportunities available to students interested in engineering and computer science.

 

High School Seniors Explore Engineering Opportunities

Thirty-six seniors representing 19 different high schools in South Jersey and Philadelphia attended the first "Engineering Career Exploratory," Nov. 30, at the NJIT at Mount Laurel campus.

Professor Muhammad Feknous and Bob Blaylock, technical services coordinator, helped each student build a hand-held working digital multi-meter and develop a database using Access. Students were educated about a variety of careers in electrical engineering and computer science and told of academic opportunities available at the NJIT at the Mount Laurel campus.

 

Tutoring Services Available To Electrical Engineering Students

Beginning in January 1999, the University Learning Center located at the NJIT campus in Newark will be providing direct tutoring services to NJIT students attending the Mount Laurel campus.

Darcy Baiocco-Shulman and Nick Fardella, junior electrical engineering students working under the tutelage of professor Muhammad Feknous, will tutor other NJIT students taking EE 271, EE231, and EE 232 during the spring semester. Although the students will be tutoring at the Mount Laurel campus, the program administration will continue to be monitored by the staff in Newark.

"We think that offering tutoring to our students in Mount Laurel will continue to expand as the number of students attending Mount Laurel continues to grow and evolve," said Sheridan Quarless, director of the University Learning Center.

 

NJIT Representative Attends Engineering Day At Lincoln University
