In 1949, the Newark College of Engineering granted its first Master’s degrees, two each in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. To date, NJIT has awarded more than 4,500 Master’s degrees. In addition to the theses from the more than 50 master’s programs, this collection includes theses for the professional degrees awarded prior to the establishment of the Graduate Division and theses for graduates with the designation Degree of Engineer. The library has accepted electronic submissions since 2010 and has been digitizing new theses and dissertations since 2000. We continue to digitize our catalog working backwards and by request.
The Robert W. Van Houten Library provides this service in an effort to make our graduates’ research more widely available.
