OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
High School Teachers Workshop on 3D Printing and Data Science
December 2, 2022 & January 26, 2024
Guvendiren Lab hosted a joined workshop with Young Lab on two exciting topics: 3D printing (Guvendiren) and data science (Young). The workshop attracted around 50 local high school teachers. The workshop began with an informational breakfast hosted by Newark College of Engineering Dean Moshe Kam, CME Department Chair Lisa Axe, and Executive Director of Admissions Stephen Eck. The teachers then broke into two groups to attend parallel hands-on sessions. In the 3D printing section, teachers designed a 3D key chain model using Fusion360, prepared this model for 3D printing using Flashforge slicer, and created a 3D printed key chain using a 3D printer. This activity is followed by a discussion on how to implement 3D printing in high school classes and a short tour of Prof. Guvendiren's research laboratory to observe ongoing research activities on 3D bioprinting of tissues and organs. In the data science section, run by Prof. Joshua Young, the teachers used Python to investigate and analyze datasets and coded models from scratch by following along with Prof. Young, and used that to predict types of glass formed from different reactants. Between the sessions the teachers attended lunch in Eberhardt Hall with CME graduate students, who discussed their research at NJIT with them. Finally, everyone received a tour of the NJIT Makerspace.
Selecting Engineering Majors
January 10, 2022
Dr. Guvendiren gave a seminar to 11th and 12th graders. The seminar gave information about the Materials, Chemical and Biomedical Engineering majors at NJIT as well as research opportunities for high school students in Guvendiren lab. This seminar was organized by the Coordinating Program Supervisor Rachel Villanova at Parsippany - Troy Hills Public Schools.
STEM Leadership Forum 2021 at NJIT
October 19 & December 13, 2021
Dr. Guvendiren and his team participated in STEM Leadership Forum as one of the laboratories to be toured by the STEM leaders. They demonstrated 3D bioprinting of vascularized tissues. Dr. Guvendiren also had a chance to discuss the 3D printing courses he developed for undergraduate and graduate students as well as research opportunities for high school students.
Engineering Career Day at NJIT
October 13 & December 8, 2017
Dr. Guvendiren and his team demonstrated 3D printing of chocolate (thanks to Shen Ji) and key chains with NJIT logo to the visiting high school students (total of over 1,200 students for the two events).
Life as a Tenure Track Faculty
June 30, 2017
Dr. Guvendiren gave a seminar at the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials, Rutgers University. His seminar focused on his journey to become a tenure track faculty.

Dr. Guvendiren and Shawn Yetman (CBPE Lab Manager) host an event on Experimental Design as a part of the NJ Science Olympiad.
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES for COLLEGE-LEVEL and K-12 STUDENTS
IBAM-Lab offers specifically designed research projects to provide get hands-on research experience for college-level and K-12 students.
IBAM REU Program:
IBAM-Lab has an NSF funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. We designed mini projects for undergraduate students under our main NSF grant, New polymeric biomaterial inks for 3D printing. Note that the undergraduates supported with NSF funds must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States or its possessions.
In addition, IBAM-Lab actively participates in a variety of NJIT Undergraduate Research and Innovation Programs. See details and application information from the link - NJIT URI Programs.
Phase-1 and Phase-2 Student Grant (URISG) program provides NJIT undergraduate students awards to pursue research or develop proof-of-concept prototypes. Funds can only be used to order project supplies and prototyping through the Office of Undergraduate Research and Innovation. Awardees will present their progress reports in the URI workshops.
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program, awards grants to institutions of higher education for projects designed to provide underrepresented students with effective preparation for doctoral study. The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement program is a comprehensive one. It is designed to help low-income and first-generation or underrepresented students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines to complete their bachelor's degree, and to enroll in post-baccalaureate degree programs, with the goal of obtaining doctoral degrees
NJIT I-Corps Sites Program offers specialized training and mini-grants up to $3,000 to teams with interest in exploring the commercial viability of their ideas for products and businesses that are based on their own inventions, University intellectual property, or any STEM-related technology. Accepted teams are also eligible to access to the Entrepreneur Development Center and its resources through this program.
Provost Summer Research and Innovation Program:
NJIT provides opportunities for research participation for undergraduate and high school students. Every year, students get an opportunity to explore a research topic of interest - under the guidance of a faculty mentor, and to present their work in the Dana-Knox Student Research Showcase and network with members of advisory boards and NJIT community.
