Bachelor's in Information Technology

A key feature of this program is the senior project and the optional cooperative learning experiences in the final two quarters. In the senior projects, each student works with a faculty member to develop and present a project that focuses in depth on a particular topic and allows the student to bring together knowledge gained throughout the program. The cooperative learning experiences, allow students to receive College credit and to work off-campus in an organization where they will practice and enhance their technical skills. Graduates are prepared to complete the Microsoft MCSA exams and the CompTIA Security + and Network+ exams.

Concentrations are available in:

• Network Engineering
• Software Engineering

Associate or Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Systems Engineering Technology

The Electronics Technologist works with the professional engineer, scientist, and craftsman in converting scientific knowledge and craftsmanship into products and techniques. Trained to understand the interaction between hardware and software. Graduates work in the areas of product design, product development, operations, or technical service.

• Hands-on laboratories provide experience with various aspects of current technology.
• Projects range from electronic controllers which include minicomputers, microcomputers, and programmable logic controllers to data communications, automation, sensors and interfaces, computer aided design and simulation.
• Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET).

Associate or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology

The Mechanical Engineering Technology curriculum links product development to the production phase of new Product and Process Design. Companies must constantly improve by adding new features on existing products or create new products for quicker delivery to the market.

Associate Degree in Aviation Science Technology

The Aviation Science Technology Associate Degree program combines academic studies and flight training to prepare graduates for a wide variety of positions within the air transportation industry, including general, airline, and corporate aviation.

The curriculum provides the flight training necessary to operate in the high-density environment of modern airspace. All flight training courses are taken at an FAA-certified and licensed facility. Through the course of the Associate in Science Degree in Aviation Science Technology program, students will be eligible to take the following Federal Aviation Association (FAA) certification examinations: Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, Instrument Pilot, and Flight Instructor. Students will be eligible to take the Instrument Flight Instructor, Multi-Engine, and Multi-Engine Instructor certification examinations through the course of the Associate in Science Degree in Advanced Aviation Science Technology.

Complementing the intensive flight training is classroom instruction and use of flight simulators. Upon graduation with either the Associate in Science Degree in Aviation Science Technology or the Associate in Science Degree in Advanced Aviation Science Technology, students are prepared to continue their education with a bachelor of science in Business Management Technology at New England Tech.

Associate Degree in Electrical Technology with Renewable Energy Systems

Starting in Fall 2009, the curriculum in New England Tech's Associate Degree program in Electrical Technology will be expanded to include renewable energy generation. Topics covered will include various renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaic power, hydro power, fuel cells, tidal power, solar hot water and geo-thermal power. Students will examine the components, installation, environmental impact, maintenance, practicality, site sustainability, and local regulations pertaining to renewable energy sources and will track the energy produced by New England Tech's wind turbine and photovoltaic panels including net metering analysis and economic impact. Upon completion, students will be prepared to take the national certification exam offered by the North American Board or Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).

To support these new courses, New England Tech will be installing a 156-foot-tall wind turbine at its Access Road Campus next to Route 95. At the same time, it will also mount 135 SolarWorld solar electric (photovoltaic, or "PV") panels on its Electrical Technology Building at the same campus. Using solar electric and wind turbine technologies, New England Tech will demonstrate the possibilities of renewable energy generation for both academic purposes and for economic and environmental concerns.

Associate Degree in Software Engineering Technology

Key program elements:

• Three quarter core curriculum to provide students with Software Engineering Technology and Network Engineering Technology courses to prepare them to select their concentration for quarters 4 through 6.
• Curriculum focuses on software such as XHTML, VB.NET, Javascript, C++ and Oracle.
• Externship course available in quarter 6 during which students work off-campus in an organization where they will practice and enhance their technical skills.
