Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree Program

Specific Admission Requirements

The Mechanical Engineering Technology program is designed to educate technicians in the mechanical engineering field. The program includes courses in the areas of design, manufacturing and controls. Mathematics and physical sciences are emphasized to give students the basic knowledge to cope with changing technology. Course work incorporates theory and practice along with extensive computer application in drafting and design. English and social science courses are taught as part of the program to broaden and improve communication skills.

The degree of Associate in Science in Engineering Technology with a major in Mechanical Engineering Technology is awarded upon successful completion of the program. Graduates are employed in positions such as assistant engineer, machine designer, engineering sales representative, engineering laboratory technician, technical supervisor and CAD operator. A 3-year version of this program is available. Contact the Department Head for details.

Those graduates who have maintained the appropriate GPA are eligible for entrance into the third year of study toward a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree at the University of New Hampshire in Manchester (dual admission program), and at other colleges and universities. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission/Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202—Telephone (410) 347-7700. Please refer to Transferring to Other Institutions.

Complete a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering Technology
through new Dual Admission Program with UNH-Manchester

In July of 2002, NHTI and UNH-Manchester signed a "Dual Admission Agreement" enabling students interested in preparing for careers in the growing fields of computer, mechanical, manufacturing, and electronic and Broadband communication networking technology to be admitted jointly to both NHTI and UNH-Manchester. After earning requirements an associate degree at NHTI in one of these majors, students will automatically begin studies for their baccalaureate degree at UNH-Manchester without having to complete a separate application. The dual admission process also allows for faculty and advisors at both institutions to work with the students throughout their college experience, making the transition from NHTI to UNH-Manchester a seamless process.
