In 1886, under the leadership of the school's dynamic first director, Dr. To meet the needs of the growing school, a second fund-raiser-the institution's first capital campaign-was launched to support the construction of a dedicated building for Newark Technical School. Soon the facility became inadequate to house an expanding student body. The first 88 students, mostly evening students, attended classes in a rented building at 21 West Park Street. Newark Technical School was ready to open its doors. By 1884, the collaboration of the public and private sectors produced success. Dozens of the city's industrialists, along with other private citizens, eager for a work force resource in their home town, threw their support behind the fund-raiser. The Newark Board of Trade, working jointly with the Newark City Council, launched a campaign to win the new school. The challenge was straightforward: the state would stake "at least $3,000 and not more than $5,000" and the municipality that matched the state's investment would earn the right to establish the new school. Originally introduced from Essex County on March 24, 1880, and revised with input from the Newark Board of Trade in 1881, an act of the New Jersey State Legislature essentially drew up a contest to determine which municipality would become home to the state's urgently needed technical school. The New Jersey Institute of Technology has a history dating back to the 19th century. With 19 varsity teams, the NCAA Division I "Highlanders" mainly compete in the America East Conference. It has participated in the McNair Scholars Program since 1999. NJIT is a member of the Sea grant and Space grant research consortia.
Over the past 20 years NJIT graduates have won seventeen Goldwaters, six Fulbrights, a Truman, six Borens, seven Gilmans, five DAADs, a Tau Beta Pi graduate Fellowship, a Humanity in Action Fellowship, a RGSP scholarship, a Brooke Owens Fellowship, two Whitakers, and nineteen NSF Graduate Research Fellowships. Īs of May 2022 the school's founders, faculty and alumni include a Turing Award winner (2011), a Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics winner (2015), 9 members of the National Academy of Engineering, 2 members of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, 1 member of the National Academy of Sciences, an astronaut, a National Medal of Technology and Innovation winner, a Congressional Gold Medal winner, a William Bowie Medal winner, multiple IEEE medalists and 18 members of the National Academy of Inventors including 6 senior members. It operates the Big Bear Solar Observatory, the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (both in California) and a suite of automated observatories across Antarctica, South America and the US. NJIT is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".
Cross-registration with Rutgers University-Newark which borders its campus is also available.

Via its Honors College it also offers professional programs in Healthcare and Law in collaboration with nearby institutions including Rutgers Medical School and Seton Hall Law School. NJIT offers 51 undergraduate (Bachelor of Science/Arts) majors and 71 graduate (Masters and PhD) programs. As of fall 2021 the university enrolls about 11,900 students from 83 countries, 2,500 of whom live on its main campus in Newark's University Heights district. The school grew into a classic engineering college – Newark College of Engineering ( NCE) – and then with the addition of a School of Architecture in 1973, into a polytechnic university that now hosts five colleges and one school.
Founded in 1881 with the support of local industrialists and inventors especially Edward Weston, NJIT opened as Newark Technical School ( NTS) in 1885 with 88 students. New Jersey Institute of Technology ( NJIT) is a public research university in Newark, New Jersey with a graduate-degree-granting satellite campus in Jersey City.
