Engineering technology requires the application of engineering and scientific knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities. Graduates may work in a variety of areas including engineering design, manufacturing, field service, testing, and sales, and may work in management positions related to engineering, manufacturing, and computer technology.
The Engineering Technology Program at UNH Manchester offers only junior- and senior-level coursework. Students admitted to this program must have an appropriate associate degree from the New Hampshire Technical Institute or an equivalent institution accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering Technology (TAC/ABET) or show academic evidence of ability to successfully complete the requirements of this calculus-based program.
The programs at UNH Manchester are designed to meet the needs of both full- and part-time students with a mix of classes scheduled during the day and in the evening.
Engineering Technology Program of Study
Students may major in electrical engineering technology, mechanical engineering technology, or computer technology. Regardless of the preferred academic specialization, all entering students should have completed a minimum of twelve semester hours of college level mathematics, including two semesters of calculus. Students without this background will be required to take either MATH 426 Calculus II, MATH 527 Differential Equations with Linear Algebra, or MATH 644 Statistics during the first semester of the junior year. The typical junior and senior year course selections follow.
