Computer
engineering technology graduates address the interface between
computer hardware and software, and are involved in the design and
operation of computer architecture and networked systems. They use
computers in control applications, data communication, system design,
and system analysis.
As a student of Computer Engineering Technology, you will
participate in a program that integrates knowledge of computer hardware
and software with an emphasis on electronic devices and systems.
 Wentworth
Institute of Technology is a member of the Cadence University Partner
Program (UPP).
You'll study areas such as microprocessors, computer architecture,
computer science, and programming. You will also be required to
successfully complete two co-op work semesters beginning junior year.
This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. (See
www.abet.org for
information about TAC/ABET accreditation.)
As a graduate you'll pursue a career in an area like computer
design, manufacturing, or testing. You may also get involved with
computer-controlled equipment, telecommunication systems, and
networking.

Co-op Opportunities for Students in the Department of Electronics
and Mechanical
Career preparation at Wentworth also includes finding, securing and
successfully completing two co-op semesters. Co-ops are full time work
experiences in Wentworth's curriculum. For four year majors, co-op is in
the spring of junior year and the fall of senior year. For five year
majors, co-op is in the summer before the senior and fifth year.
Students in the Electronics and Mechanical Department have worked at
great companies including: iRobot, Mass Electric, Analog Devices, the
Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), Depuy Johnson &
Johnson, Raytheon, Electromechanica, Gillette and Sikorsky.
Co-op allows Electronics and Mechanical Department students to gain
valuable skills such as:
- Electrical and/or mechanical design and prototype fabrication
- Troubleshooting and technical maintenance
- Building WAN between multiple sites
- Understanding data acquisition and signal processing systems
- Operating and testing of sensor systems for engines, boilers, and
burners
- Constructing and soldering test circuits
- Developing hardware and software
Each major has its own designated Co-op Coordinator who assists
students in finding and securing co-ops. Alicia LaPolla is the Co-op
Coordinator for Computer Engineering Technology majors. Andréa Juliano
is the Co-op Coordinator for Electronic Engineering Technology,
Mechanical Engineering Technology and Electromechanical Engineering
majors. Andréa says:
Schools that are still lacking a solid co-op program are putting
their students at a serious disadvantage upon graduation. They are
simply unable to compete in the job market with the practically and
professionally experienced students from programs like the one here at
Wentworth.
