NJIT Professor Elevates CT Scan Lab Work to Realm of Visual Art

For most, the stark black and white images produced through computed tomography (CT) may not ignite much imagination beyond the routine bone scans that we'd see at the radiologist's lab. However, for NJIT Assistant Professor of Architecture and Design, Mathew Schwartz, the technology has become the creative medium by which he is building a library of digital art, steeped in the niche field of x-ray photography.

How an Industrial Design Course Helped an Engineering Student Land an Internship at NASA

With only one elective left to fulfill her chemical engineering degree requirement, Monica Torralba ’18 decided to do something a little unconventional. After talking with some friends in the industrial design department in the School of Art + Design, the Bloomingdale, N.J., native and Albert Dorman Honors College student decided to take a mechanics and electronics class.

Human Factors

Human Factors is oriented around teaching students how to find information on human factors and test their designs on people. It discusses the strategies to understanding the human component of a design both in academics and in industry through a series of lectures and exercises on various human subject topics.

Pediatric Ambulatory Device

The project was to consider the lectures given regarding movement and think of a sport of activity that can have predetermined "good" and "bad" movements.

Dezeen Feature: Mathew Schwartz creates X-ray images of flowers using a micro-CT scanner

X-ray images of flowers by researcher and designer Mathew Schwartz form the identity of this year's Dezeen Awards. Schwartz, an assistant professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, used a micro-CT scanner to create the images of blooms including miniature orchids, lilies and tulips.
