The WENTWORTH
together we’re building a better workforce
Wentworth Institute of Technology has expanded its commitment to preparing engineers for the next generation. With the introduction of six new undergraduate engineering programs, in addition to its rich history in engineering technology, Wentworth is educating students to excel in engineering roles from design through delivery.With our three-part educational model combining classroom instruction, lab experience, and cooperative education Wentworth students and graduates are ready to make an impact in the workplace.

Mechanical Engineering Technology student, Meghan Puente, worked on a variety of challenging projects at Energizer, ranging from creating new tools, to installing a recycling system, to changing machinery to reduce operator downtime. She was given much responsibility and hit the ground running, working on substantial projects immediately.
“My role as an engineering co-op was no different than the other engineers at the plant, which gave me the necessary experience and confidence.”
For her co-op with the MBTA, Madison King, Electronic Engineering Technology, has been responsible for testing, monitoring, and implementing solutions for the entire fleet of Blue Line subway cars. One of her biggest projects was working on the auxiliary power supply, which can sometimes overheat. King studied the problems and worked to redesign the thermal system to make incidents less likely to happen.
Most of Eric Schmidt’s, Civil Engineering Technology, work at Pratt & Whitney has consisted of parking lot redesign while the company’s campus is under construction. “I have been on the jobsite almost every day since construction began and, along with another co-worker and a contracted survey team, [I have provided] maps and information to help the contracted construction team.”
Rebecca Williams, Electromechanical Engineering, performed and tracked a series of seven tests on the main engine start of a military cargo helicopter for Hamilton Sundstrand. She performed data analysis, coordinated and participated in company-wide meetings, and acted as a liaison between Hamilton Sundstrand and its clients.
