The CIVET team is responsible for transitioning the innovative work of the research community at Rutgers University into the marketplace, ensuring that the projects address real-world needs and result in successful commercialization. The program offers students a thorough introduction to the realm of entrepreneurship and technological innovation through a course titled “Innovation and Entrepreneurship for Science and Technology”. Additionally, the CIVET team encourages undergraduate students to participate in the CIVET Translational Fellows Program, a program established for outstanding students who embody strong interpersonal skills, academic prowess, and entrepreneurial attitudes. This program offers students the opportunity to embark on the path to successful commercialization through strategic networking, various workshops, and seminars lead by successful innovators.

The Department of Bioenvironmental Engineering utilizes engineering principles and the physical, chemical and biological sciences to prevent and solve environmental problems related to human activities. As a department offered in conjunction with Cook College, Bioenvironmental Engineering students take basic engineering courses and physical, chemical and biological science classes in their freshman and sophomore years. In the junior and senior years these fundamentals are applied for multidisciplinary problem solving in various environmental areas including waste-water, solid waste and air pollution treatment facilities, international development agencies, environmental regulatory and planning agencies, and manufacturing industries.

The Rutgers Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a vibrant and dynamic enterprise of scholarship, learning, and technology development. With over 225 undergraduate students, 20 graduate Masters students, and 63 graduate Ph.D. students enrolled in the department, the primary educational mission of the department is to provide outstanding training at all levels with the support of the well-renowned faculty. Located in the heart of New Jersey’s “Cure Corridor”, BME offers a remarkably diverse array of opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate training and research in molecular systems bioengineering, biomaterials and tissue engineering, bionanotechnology, biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, and biomedical imaging.

The Rutgers Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (CBE) has a dynamic and active faculty of 15 doing cutting-edge research in all areas of chemical engineering, including biotechnology/biomolecular engineering, nano-pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical engineering, energy, and process systems. Belonging to the CBE is the Engineering Research Center for Structured Organic Particulates Systems which focuses on the science-based development of structured organic composite products and their manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and agrochemical industries.

CAIT is addressing every aspect of today's, and tomorrow's, most pressing infrastructure issues: safety, security, environmental impacts, sustainability, mobility, and asset management of our roads, bridges, ports, and more. CAIT efforts deal specifically in high-volume multimodal infrastructure environments like the New York/New Jersey metro area where studies solutions are implemented to fix critical infrastructure challenges. CAIT is one of the 60 academic research institutions sanctioned and supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) prepares its students in all areas including digital signal processing, computer engineering, systems and controls, and solid state electronics. As part of the ECE department, WINLAB was established to advance the development of wireless networking technology by combining the resources of government, industry and academia. CAC was established to address a broad area of scientific and engineering research on methods, architectures and technologies for the design, implementation, integration and evaluation of special- and general-purpose computing systems, components and applications that are capable of autonomously achieving desired behaviors.

The Department of Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, and energy. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems.

Materials science and engineering (MSE) is the study and application of technologies related to the synthesis, processing, and characterization of polymers, metals, semiconductors, ceramics, glass, and composites. As a part of MSE, The Ceramic and Composite Materials Center (CCMC) is a multi-university cooperative research center among The University of New Mexico (UNM), Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (Rutgers) and Pennsylvania State University (Penn State).

The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering has more than 525 undergraduate students, over 120 graduate students, and several post-doctoral associates. Mechanical Engineers are able to design mechanisms, machines, and structures to serve a specific purpose, such as the manufacture of high-tech materials, including ceramics and composites, and high-tech equipment, such as advanced automation and control systems.
