Amy Flax

I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech. I worked for 14 years as a system engineer for AT&T Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies and Avaya. I have always enjoyed math and am passionate about women in STEM. I also have a post-baccalaureate certificate in K to 12 math education and hold a certificate of eligibility to teach k12 math in NJ.

My passion for a quality math education led me to pursue improvements in New Jersey’s math education in 2008. I co-lead the New Jersey Coalition for World Class Math which lead to changes in the New Jersey state math standards. As a member of New Jersey Department of Education Math Standards Task Force in 2009 and New Jersey Department of Education Math Standards Review Team in 2015-2016, our organization provided direct feedback on the Math Common Core Standards leading to the updated NJ math standards at the time.

My teaching career started at community college. I am very passionate about all students from all backgrounds having the ability to pursue a higher education degree which can transform their lives as my education did for me.

I have been at NJIT since 2019. This opportunity allowed me to teach math to STEM students. My philosophy is that math is key to problem solving whether a student is pursuing a STEM degree or a non-STEM degree.
