It is indeed an honor and a pleasure to be part of the 2015International Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium and join with Dr. DurgamadhabMisra as well as other individuals that contribute to the success of the event.The 2015 Research Symposium is the Eighth such event showcasing the research efforts ofundergraduate students from the NJIT Ronald E. McNair Program, students from HeritageInstitute of Technology, India as well as students from other programs. One hundred thirtyeight undergraduate students from other programs along with the HIT and McNair studentswill present a total of one hundred and seventeen electronic posters describing their researchaccomplishments under the guidance of fifty nine NJIT faculty. This research symposium isthe largest such event ever held at NJIT. We are extremely proud of the research efforts of allthese students, the quality of the research presentations and the strong support of the NJITfaculty and staff in contributing to the success of today’s event.Angelo J.

New Jersey Institute of Technology RK,%NJ%07102 1982%Phone:%(973)%596 5739%dmisra@njit.edu%July 30, 2015It is an honor and a pleasure that undergraduate engineering students from Heritage Institute ofTechnology (HIT), Kolkata, India are participating at the Eighth International Summer ResearchSymposium of New Jersey Institute of Technology along with students from several other summerresearch programs including NJIT’s Ronald E. McNair Program. This gives the HIT students anopportunity to present their research accomplishments that they have completed under the supervisionof NJIT faculty.The Summer Research Symposium became International Summer Research Symposium eight yearsago when the HIT students participated in the annual summer research symposium for the first time.HIT and NJIT have established an inter-institutional cooperation since 2008 where every summerseveral talented undergraduate students from HIT, Kolkata, India attend NJIT and conduct researchwith NJIT faculty members for six-week summer research program. The purpose of this exchange isto promote international understanding, scholarly collaboration, cultural interaction and friendship bysupporting educational professional and cultural activities among faculty and students of the twoinstitutions.The outstanding achievement of the students would not have been possible without the time and effortof NJIT faculty mentors. Staff members of several administrative offices including Office ofInternational Students, Budget Office, Physical Plant, McNair Program and ECE Departmentcontributed significantly to the success of the HIT-NJIT Summer Research Program.We are proud of the research efforts of all the students and wish them all the best for their presentationat the Eighth International Summer Research Symposium of 2015 and for the future.Sincerely,Durgamadhab Misra, PhDSymposium Co-Chair and HIT-NJIT Program DirectorProfessor and Associate Chair for Graduate ProgramsDepartment of Electrical and Computer Engineering2
