The mission of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NJIT is to provide an outstanding academic and research experience to students to prepare them to meet the needs and challenges of the 21st century in electrical and computer engineering. The mission is extended to the commitment of providing state-of-the-art interactive education through innovation, cutting-edge research with real-world experience promoting industry-university partnerships and life long learning.

The Department is taking new synergistic initiatives to bring real-world experience in the undergraduate program through active participation of experts from leading industries. One of the major initiatives is team-up with leading industries in mentoring and advising undergraduate students for their Senior Design Projects. The First ECE Senior Design Project Workshop brings a synergy among students, faculty and industry experts to help undergraduate students gain an exciting and valuable experience in engineering project design and management that is closer to the real-world situations. Also, it provides industry participants a great opportunity to get to know students for future recruiting and enhancement of public relations.
