 Program Overview
|
Students can benefit from a small class size (approximately 21 students) and individual attention from a dedicated teaching faculty with professional industry experience. There are more than 80 on-campus laboratories and studios, which are an integral component of all majors at Wentworth. Located in the academic and medical center of Boston, Wentworth offers programs in the fields of architecture, computer science, construction management, design, engineering, biomedical engineering (beginning Fall 2009), engineering technology, environmental science, and management.
Wentworth offers one of the most comprehensive cooperative education (co-op) programs in the United States. For more than 30 years, Wentworth has been opening career doors and helping students gain professional, paid work experience. Co-op is an important feature of Wentworth's career-focused education. Before graduation, all students are required to work for two semesters in a paid position directly related to their major. Co-op provides valuable practical experience, which serves students well in their search for employment after graduation. In addition, Wentworth sponsors workshops on resume writing, job search strategies, and interviewing techniques.
Architecture
Students study the fundamentals of architecture design and theory, structural systems, environmental systems, computer-aided design, and community design/built heritage.
Upon completion of the four year Bachelor of Science degree, students may apply to a one-year Master of Architecture program at Wentworth.
Biomedical Engineering Technology (beginning fall 2010)
Wentworth is pleased to announce an exciting new four-year degree program in biomedical engineering technology, beginning in fall 2010. This program will feature multidisciplinary courses in physical and life sciences and engineering technology in preparation for concentrations in niche areas such as clinical engineering or medical devices and systems. An integral part of this program is two semesters of cooperative experiential learning as members of the workforce at hospitals, medical device companies, and research centers. Graduate students will be equipped with knowledge and skills to meet the challenges in the globally growing healthcare industry while contributing to improving human health; students will also be trained to pursue advanced studies for professional careers.
Civil Engineering Technology
Students will gain valuable technical skills, including surveying, laboratory and field testing, drafting, and design. As graduates, students will choose from a variety of careers with construction firms, engineering consulting companies, and architecture/surveying companies.
Computer Science
Gain valuable skills in software design, computer architecture, and high-level languages such as C, C++, JAVA, and HTML. As graduates, students will be prepared to work as a software engineer or designer programmer, or Web developer.
Computer Engineering Technology
Become an expert on the interface between hardware and software and the design and operation of computer architecture and networked systems. As graduates, students will work in areas such as computer design, manufacturing, telecommunications systems, and networking.
Electromechanical Engineering (5-year bachelor program)
Gain a solid foundation in both electrical and mechanical engineering. Students apply high-level design and analysis to complex projects as they bridge the interface between mechanical equipment and electronic controls. Graduates of this five-year program, students will work in fields such as fiber optic communication, computers and peripherals, transportation, solar power, and biomedical engineering. Graduates are also well positioned to pursue the professional engineering license.
Electronic Engineering Technology
Students learn about hardware and circuitry and acquire the analytic and technical skills to test and optimize the performances of feedback control systems. Graduates will be qualified to work in fields such as communications, power electronics, digital and analog systems, and new product design and testing.
Mechanical Engineering Technology
Explore manufacturing processes and mechanical systems as students study computer-aided design and specialized areas such as strength of materials, engineering graphics, machine design, math, and physics. Graduates will be qualified for careers in vehicle design, mechanical system simulation, HVAC technology, computer-assisted solid modeling, and power engineering.

With 50 colleges in 50 square miles, Boston has the highest concentration of students in the world, along with all the conveniences of a major city.
Founded in 1904, Wentworth Institute of Technology is a private, coeducational college located in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. Boston is one of America's most beautiful and historical cities and the original center of higher education in the United States.
Students will also enjoy easy access to Boston's exciting venues and New England's scenic wonders. Walk to Fenway Park, the Museum of Fine Arts, or Copley Place. Take a ferry to Cape Cod. Hike the White Mountains. Whatever the destination, having the "T" Green Line and the Ruggles Station stop on the commuter rail right beside campus mean students can get into - or out of - Boston easily.
