Through visionary leadership, reasoned planning and goals setting, an engineeringapproach to tactics, quality measures, and strategic resource allocation, NJIT became a majorproducer of graduate degrees, with increasing emphasis on research and the doctorate. Amongits priorities were an increase in graduate program participation in both master’s and doctoralprograms by those traditionally underrepresented in engineering by both ethnicity and gender.
