The Newark College of Engineering has been preparing engineers for active roles and leadership in the community and the profession for more than a century (107 years to be exact). At the present time, we estimate that there are about 40,000 professionally active graduates of NCE, engaged in scores of disciplines, from transportation to avionics, and from robotics and medical devices to the design of refineries.
When NCE was established in 1919, it was a stand-alone college of engineering only, with small service units providing education to engineering students in English and basic sciences. In time, other academic units were added to the school, and today NCE is “surrounded” by colleges that focus on the arts, the sciences, architecture, design, business, and computing. It is natural to ask – what makes engineering different than these other academic units? What makes us different?
The list of distinctions is quite long, but here are some of them. Most non-engineering academic disciplines, especially in the sciences, are fundamentally interested in how things, processes, and systems work. Scientists in many areas of pursuit are perfectly happy when they have accurate models of existing phenomena and processes, and when they can estimate how far these models can be expanded beyond current capabilities. While modeling is very important in most engineering explorations, the engineering project is seldom done when we engineers possess a good model. A good model is usually just the starting point. Our projects are considered successful only when we have actually taken promising models and translated them into physical devices and into working, productive, and safe systems. Think about the relationship between studying thermodynamics against the design and installation of a heat exchanger in a manufacturing plant. Or the study of electromagnetism vs. the design and installation of a wideband over-the-horizon microwave communication system.
One consequence of this emphasis on implementation and installation is that our work as engineers almost always impacts others – our community; other communities; human beings of all ages, occupations, economic statuses and lifestyles; as well as the environment – including the climate, air and water, plant life and animal life. The heat equation, its interpretation and solutions, are indifferent to any societal aspects of their possible applications. Not so are the designs that are based on the heat equation for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning in buildings and cars. These implementations (and the engineers who implemented them) affect society in very specific and critical manners. Similarly, Maxwell’s Equations, the foundation of classical electromagnetism, classical optics, electric and magnetic circuits, have no conscience or moral compass. What we do with them is actually quite significant in supporting morality and social justice. This social impact happens when we use Maxwell’s Equations to design and implement smart grids for densely populated cities or bring electricity and optical-fiber communication lines to remote, isolated areas.
National Engineers Week is an opportunity to celebrate the unique role that engineering occupies in affecting human welfare and the environment. National Engineers Week is also an opportunity to remind ourselves that our work as engineers extends well beyond the scientific fundamentals on which our profession stands. Its impacts spread into the welfare, safety and happiness of society, and into the quest to preserve and protect our environment.

Presented by Distinguished Professor and Director of the Center for Natural Resources Dr. Michel Boufadel, this inaugural presentation in the Engineering Sustainable Solutions Seminar Series explores how engineers use science, data, and systems thinking to protect communities, manage natural resources, and solve complex environmental challenges. It features research from NJIT’s Center for Natural Resources (CNR), a leader in environmental and energy-focused engineering research.
Established to foster responsible environmental and energy resource utilization while protecting communities from natural and human-made hazards, the Center for Natural Resources (CNR) specializes in:
Assessment and mitigation of major hazards impacting communities
Remediation of pollution in natural environments
Evaluation of natural resources for energy production, with an emphasis on renewable energy systems
CNR research bridges engineering, environmental science, and public safety, helping engineers design solutions with long-term societal impact.
This seminar presents an overview of cutting-edge research conducted at CNR, including:
Transport of water and chemicals in natural environments
Environmental fluid mechanics, including investigations into underwater oil release and its propagation below the surface and at the water–air interface
Coastal system dynamics, recognizing the coast as the terminal impact zone of offshore oil spills
Faculty and student researchers explore four critical factors influencing coastal systems:
Tides
Waves
Evaporation
Buoyancy (including the role of freshwater being approximately 2% lighter than seawater)
In addition, the center develops quantitative metrics for assessing community resilience, supporting engineering solutions that strengthen infrastructure, ecosystems, and public safety.
Aligned with the Engineers Week theme Transform Your Future, this seminar demonstrates how sustainable engineering:
Translates research into real-world risk mitigation
Supports resilient communities and infrastructure
Balances innovation with environmental and societal responsibility
Students gain insight into how engineering careers can directly impact climate adaptation, energy systems, and environmental protection.
Engineering students interested in sustainability and environmental systems
First-year engineering students exploring research pathways
Faculty and staff
Students interested in coastal engineering, energy systems, or environmental modeling
Date: Thursday, February 26, 2026
Time: 10:00- 11:20 AM
Location: CKB L-70 Agile Strategy Lab
Students are encouraged to sign up in advance.

Join NJIT’s hands-on Formulation Workshop during NCE Engineers Week. Learn industry-based cosmetic formulation, work in teams, and connect with engineers, chemists, and our sponsor the New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists (NYSCC).
This is a hands-on, industry-informed experience that introduces students to technical formulation practices currently shaping the cosmetic and personal care industries. Designed at the intersection of engineering, chemistry, and product development, the workshop demonstrates how materials science transforms raw ingredients into functional, market-ready products.
Prior to the formulation activity, students will engage in a panel discussion with professionals from the cosmetic, chemical, and engineering industries.
Panel Focus:
Career pathways in cosmetic science and engineering
The role of engineers in formulation, scale-up, and product development
Industry expectations for early-career professionals
Panelists include:
Mara (Crespo) Webb (Chemical Engineering ’10 – NJIT)
Technical Sales Professional specializing in Actives for Personal Care, DSM
Gary Morris (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, Package Engineering - Manhattan University)
Senior Package Development Engineer, L'oreal
Laszlo Moharita (Industrial Engineering ’01 - NJIT)
Vice President - Global Brand Package Development Fragrance and Haircare, Estee Lauder
Günel Nabiyeva (Ph.D. Candidate in Chemical Engineering, NJIT)
Students will work in small teams (2–3 students) to:
Participate in a live technical formulation based on current industry trends
Perform formulation calculations and percentage adjustments in real time
Interact directly with the instructor and volunteers throughout the process
Engage in technical discussion as formulation progresses
Students leave with a deeper understanding of how engineers and chemists collaborate during product development.
Meet the Instructor:
 | Christian Merkovsky is a Formulation Chemist and Technical Services Specialist who has been in the industry for 7 years. He got a job in the cosmetic industry after getting his Masters in Bioengineering (Stevens Institute of Technology) and has worked for ingredient and finished goods manufacturers and formulation labs.
