The Polytechnic Institute of New York University, often referred to as Polytechnic Institute of NYU, NYU Polytechnic, NYU Poly, or simply Poly is one of the 18 schools and colleges that make up New York University (NYU).[1]

Today it is one of the most prestigious and oldest private engineering and technology institutes in the United States,[2] and has a distinguished history in electrical engineering, civil engineering, Industrial Engineering, construction management, polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, aerospace, and mechanical engineering. Its Carnegie Classification is Doctorate-Granting "Research University" (high research activity).[3]

It is centrally located in the MetroTech Center and is close to transportation routes and easily accessible from all parts of New York City and Long Island. In addition to its main address at MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn, the institute offers programs at other sites throughout the region, including Long Island, Westchester, and Manhattan, as well as several programs in Israel.

The university has state-of-the-art facilities including a brand new library and new facilities for its electrical engineering, computer science and computer engineering programs. NYU's Polytechnic Institute offers programs primarily for undergraduate students but also offers opportunities for graduate students, including executive programs for students with related experience and prepares students to play leading roles in these overarching areas through invention, innovation and entrepreneurship (i2e).[4]

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), and the American Chemical Society (ACS) have recognized the institute's undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering, computer science and chemistry.

Campuses

The Polytechnic Institute of New York University is located on five different campuses and offers a wide range of educational resources for all phases of education. The Institute includes the Brooklyn Campus (the main campus), Long Island Campus, Westchester Campus, Manhattan Campus and Israel campus.

Rogers Hall

Brooklyn Campus

This campus is centrally located in Downtown Brooklyn and close to transportation routes. The campus, called MetroTech, is easily accessible from all parts of New York City and Long Island. It has state-of-the-art facilities, including a relatively new library, and new faculties for their electrical engineering, computer science and computer engineering programs.

Wunsch Building

The Brooklyn campus offer programs primarily for undergraduates but also offers opportunities for graduate students, including those executive programs for students with related experience.[5] Rogers Hall is currently undergoing a $50 million renovation[6]

MetroTech Center: The Institute played a leadership role in bringing about MetroTech Center, one of the largest urban university-corporate parks[disambiguation needed ] in the world and the largest in the United States. Today, the 16-acre (65,000 m²), $1 billion complex is home to the institute and several technology-dependent companies, including Securities Industry Automation Corporation (SIAC), New York City Police Department's 911 Center, New York City Fire Department Headquarters and the U.S. technology and operations functions of JPMorgan Chase. In 1998, a Marriott Hotel was built adjacent to MetroTech. MetroTech has proven to be a case study in effective university, corporate, government and private-developer cooperation. It has resulted in renewing an area that once was characterized more by urban decay.

Wunsch Building houses the school's undergraduate admissions offices and is used to host many social, cultural, and academic events for the school and community.[7] The building dates back to 1847 and was the first independent black church in Brooklyn. It was also a stop on the Underground Railroad and has been designated a historic landmark since November 24, 1981.[8]

Dibner Library

The Bern Dibner Library of Science and Technology, opened in 1990 in a new building, is Polytechnic's information hub, accessible online from anywhere, on or off campus, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, wireless networks allow users with notebook computers to access the library's electronic services from anywhere on campus.


Polytechnic Tower, which will be a building that stands 1,000 feet (305 m) tall and contains 65 floors

Construction is underway for the Polytechnic Tower, which will be a building that stands 1,000 feet (305 m) tall and contains 65 floors. It is based on the now abandoned City Tech Tower project. The building will be the first skyscraper in Brooklyn to rise more than 60 stories, since the tallest completed building in the borough is only 42 stories tall.[9] It will be the tallest building in the country that is dedicated to applied science, technology and engineering. This 200 million dollar project will be completed very soon, bringing with it much needed state of the art learning and research facilities. This undertaking is exemplary of Polytechnic Institute's efforts to strengthen its reputation as a premier research institution.[10]


In addition to the Poly campus, The Poly community also has access to all of NYU's resources located at Washington Square such as their libraries, gymnasium, transportation system, and etc. These include the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library, Frederick L. Ehrman Medical Library, Coles Sports and Recreation Center, Palladium Athletic Facility, Bookstore, Student Health Center, and other buildings.

The Institute has a couple residence halls in Brooklyn; Othmer Residence Hall serves primarily freshman and sophomore students, while the Livingston Street and Clark Residences are for juniors, seniors, and grad students.

The Othmer Residence Hall is a 18-story building, housing over 400 students in two-bedroom suites and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, opened in 2002. This recently renovated residence hall has wireless internet facilities and includes student lounges, study rooms, laundry facilities, outdoor space, a tennis court, and 24-hour security.[11] It is named after Donald Othmer, a past chemical engineering professor at the Institute, and his wife, Mildred Othmer. Their donation of $200 million to Polytechnic is one of the largest donations ever given to a university. Donald Othmer is known as one of the most famous chemical engineers in the world.

The Livingston Residence Hall is a 26 story building, housing over 115 graduate students in one bedroom apartments and studios with full kitchens or kitchenette and dining areas. This residence hall is more independent than Othmer and requires that students arrange for their own internet facilities. NYU Public Safety Services officers are on duty 24 hours a day.[11][12]

The Clark Residence, which opened in September 2010, is located at 55 Clark Street, which is within walking distance to Poly’s MetroTech campus, shopping and dining on Montague Street, and the Brooklyn Promenade.. Single, double, large double, lofted triple, and triple layouts are available at the Clark Residence.[13][14]

Long Island Campus

This campus was opened in 1961. Recently, they moved to a state-of-the-art facility at The Melville Corporate Center. When they moved to the new facility, they also expanded their graduate programs to include Electrophysics, Systems Engineering, Telecommunication Networks and Wireless Innovation. Most classes and programs offered at this campus are geared towards working professionals.

Westchester Campus

Established in the 1980s, this graduate center is the Hudson Valley’s premier center for technical and managerial education. People from all over the tri state region travel in to attend classes for graduate studies in the fields of Chemistry, Management of Technology, Telecommunications, Electrical Engineering, Construction Management, Information Systems Engineering and Computer Science. Here again, the classes are geared towards the working professionals. The facility is completely wired and has advanced computer labs and conference style classrooms.

Manhattan Site

Located at 55 Broad Street in downtown Manhattan, this site again is in the heart of New York. This site offers degree programs in Financial Engineering, Management of Technology, Information Management and Accelerated Management of Technology. The Manhattan Graduate Center offers another state-of-the-art facility for the working professionals in the Manhattan area. This site usually attracts those researchers and professors who want to further their education at a prestigious facility that focuses on technology.

Located at 2 Broadway in downtown Manhattan. This site offers the widely known NYU Poly Exec 21 Construction Management certificate.

Israel Campus

Located in Rishon LeZion in the College of Management. This campus offers Master of Science in Management and Master of Science in Organizational Behaviour degrees.

History

John Raymond, President Polytechnic Institute 1858

NYU-Poly was formerly Polytechnic University (which itself was formerly the Polytechnic Institute of New York) and it currently maintains a formal affiliation with NYU, allowing NYU to complete the transition for Poly to become their school of engineering and applied science (see NYU Affiliation below).[15]

Timeline

The official timeline for the Institute is maintained on Poly at a Glance: the Poly Timeline.[16]

  • A group of Brooklyn businessmen drew up a charter on May 17, 1853, to establish a school for young men.
  • In 1854, the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute was chartered and moved into its first home at 99 Livingston Street.
  • In 1855, the school opened its doors September 10 to 265 young men, ages nine to 17. From 1889 to 1973 it was known as "Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn" (but often referred to as "PIB" or "Brooklyn Poly").
  • Baccalaureate degrees were conferred for the first time in 1871.
  • Postgraduate programs began in 1901.
  • In 1917, the preparatory program was separated from Institute and renamed the Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School, or Poly Prep for short. It is located in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn.
    Polytechnic Institute Electrostatic Laboratory 1903-1904
  • First doctoral degree awarded in 1921.
  • Polymer Research Institute established in 1942.
  • Microwave Research Institute established in 1945.
  • In 1957, Poly moved to its present location (333 Jay Street, the former site of the American Safety Razor factory), and became a co-educational institution.
  • In 1973, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn acquired the faculty and programs of New York University’s School of Engineering and Science to form Polytechnic Institute of New York after NYU was forced to sell the University Heights campus (where the engineering school was situated) because of financial hardships.
  • Center for Advanced Technology in Telecommunications (CATT) established in 1983.
  • In 1985, the school gained university status and its name was changed to Polytechnic University.
  • In 2008, Polytechnic changed its name to Polytechnic Institute of New York University when it affiliated with New York University, to align itself to become its school for engineering and applied sciences.
    Polytechnic Institute 1957

Name

Polytechnic Institute of NYU has carried a number of different names.[17]

  • 1854: Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute (founding name)
  • 1889: Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn (separated from preparatory program)
  • 1973: Polytechnic Institute of New York (merged with New York University School of Engineering and Science)
  • 1985: Polytechnic University (acquired university status)
  • 2008: Polytechnic Institute of New York University (officially affiliated with New York University)

New York University Affiliation

In 1973, New York University’s School of Engineering and Science merged into the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn to form the Polytechnic Institute of New York.[18] The 2008 affiliation between Poly and NYU has re-established a formal relationship between New York University and the former Polytechnic Institute of New York after nearly 35 years of separation.[19] The institute is now an interim entity while it aligns itself to become NYU's dedicated resource for applied sciences and engineering.[20]

On August 7, 2007, Polytechnic and New York University (NYU) announced that the two institutions were engaged in merger discussions.[21][22] In October 2007, NYU’s and Polytechnic's Boards of Trustees both approved continuation of talks on a merger of NYU and Polytechnic. Both institutions decided to continue drafting a Definitive Agreement to more fully define the relationship between the universities.[23][24]

On March 6, 2008, Polytechnic’s Board of Trustees voted to approve the "Definitive Agreement" to affiliate with New York University, with the goal that Polytechnic would become NYU's engineering, applied science, and technology school. On June 24, 2008, the New York State Regents approved an affiliation between Polytechnic and NYU by a change of charter which made NYU the sole member of the Polytechnic, effective July 1, 2008.[23][25][23]

Consolidation into New York University

It has been confirmed by the school authorities that the Polytechnic Institute is on the path to being completely consolidated into New York University by 2013, similar to that of NYU College of Arts and Sciences, Stern School of Business, Tisch School of Arts, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, Gallatin School of Individualized Study, and other NYU schools.

James A. Oliver 1960 - Electrical Engineer, James A. Oliver received the IEEE Richard Harold Kaufmann Award “For contributions to the design and application of large, medium voltage, adjustable speed drive systems.”Oliver started work in 1950 at American Electric Power Co. He spent 2 years in the U.S. Army Signal Corps, 1951-53, leav- ing as a 1st Lt. He returned to AEP, becoming their rotating ma-chinery specialist. In 1971, he joined the National Electric Coil Division of McGraw-Edison, where he was vice president of Engineering. Later, he became president of Epoxylite Corp. and was vice- president of Wanlass Corp. In 1981, he joined Bechtel and was associated with them un- til this year. As an engineering specialist, he took care of Bechtel’s electric machinery work and also managed their work with EPRI on the application of large power electronic adjust-

able speed drives (ASD). Since 1990, many of his activities, including continued work with EPRI, have been through his own engineering firm, JAR- SCO Engineering Corp. He has been able to help a number of major power and industrial companies apply high power and high speed motors with ASDs, avoiding application problems, as these companies use this new technology. He is a Fellow of the IEEE. He recently was general chair of the first IEEE International Machines and Drives Conference, which was held in Milwaukee in May 1997.
