Dr. Mohamed Mahgoub, CIM Program Director State University at Chico led by Dr. Tanya Komas. We look forward for the new chapter to further explore the various aspects of concrete repair and rehabilitation and network with new industry partners.
The CIM Program is still advancing and still growing here at NJIT. Our numbers have increased to 80 students now and proud to announce that we have three students graduating in May increasing the number of our graduates to 30 since program inception. We are proud to unveil the official start of the NJIT ICRI Student Chapter. It is the second chapter after California
The program is also pleased to announce that our ACI Student Chapter won third place for the presentation category at the Reinforced Concrete Bowling Ball Competition at the ACI conference in Reno, NV on March 23, 2014. NJIT has also been recognized as an ACI Excellent University for the third year in a row. Thanks to the ACI NJ chapter, seven more CIM students became ACI field level test 1 certified. We look forward to the continued success and growth of the program. We thank every company, organization, and individual that has helped make this possible.
Spring, 2014 “ Advancing the Concrete Industry by Degrees “ Inside this issue:
Dr. Mohamed Mahgoub CIM Program Director 1 Jamie Gentoso NE Patrons Chairperson
Anlee Orama CIM Specialist 2 NJIT CIM Alumni Elvis Torres
Jamie Gentoso, NE Patrons Board Chairperson The NJIT CIM program continues to grow in enrollment but not fast enough to meet the demand of the Northeast Patron employers. There are approximately three to four job opportunities per student on average. Recruitment continues to be the driving force of the program and securing the next generation of concrete industry professionals is the key to the program’s success. We are looking forward to the spring 2014 Patron’s meeting which will for Page 1
the first time feature a new interview process. In the past, interested students would network and potentially secure internships and full-time jobs on the same day of the meeting. Now, employers will have the opportunity to request resumes prior to the meeting and pre-select candidates to interview immediately after the meeting. The CIM program continually evolves to meet the needs of their students and Patron’s.
Industry Guest Speakers
