Computerengineering technologists work with professional engineers, scientists,medical doctors, business professionals, and manufacturing managersin setting up various computer platforms, installing software packages,and programming, troubleshooting and/or interfacing computerswith various types of equipment. The curriculum also includes microprocessortechnology, fundamentals of electronics, personal computerarchitecture, windows applications programming and a computer project.A 3-year version of this program is available. Contact the Department Head fordetails. The degree of Associate in Engineering Technology with a majorin Computer Engineering Technology will be awarded upon successfulcompletion of all program requirements.Graduates secure positions as computer programmers in C++ ObjectOriented Programming, Java, Visual C++, Visual Basic, assemblylanguage and real-time Relay Ladder Logic. Other positions that graduateshave attained are network or systems administrators, web site developers,and hardware and software troubleshooters. This program is accreditedby the Technology Accreditation Commission/AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (TAC/ABET), 111 MarketPlace, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202—Telephone (410) 347-7700,and upon graduation, some may choose to further their education in thefields of Computer Engineering Technology, or Computer Science withhigh degrees of transferability to major colleges and universities throughoutthe country.NHTI has transfer affiliations with four year institutions including:• Northeastern University School of Engineering• University of Massachusetts-Lowell• UNH Manchester (dual admission program)• Wentworth Institute of TechnologyPlease refer to page 83 for suggestions on transferring to other institutions.(Credits earned in Engineering Technology at NHTI are fully transferableto all TAC/ABET accredited BS of Engineering Technology programs.)Internship ConsiderationsThe college must ensure that individuals (customers, employees,etc.) at internship and service learning sites are not adversely affected bystudents during learning experiences. Therefore, students participating ininternship and field experiences must demonstrate the emotional stabilityrequired to exercise sound judgment, accept direction and guidance froma supervisor or faculty member and establish rapport and maintain sensitiveinterpersonal relationships with employees, customers and clients.NHTI Alumni ProfileLeon KenisonClass of 1998Major: Computer Engineering TechnologyLeon started as a part-time evening student atNHTI in the fall of 1993. He later became afull-time student, graduating in 1998. Hissenior computer project won rave reviews fromDumont Associates. Leon had several careeropportunities to consider after graduation, but opted to seek abachelor’s degree in Computer Science at UMass-Lowell.“The NHTI professors inspired me to achieve my goals and more. Theirexpertise, professional passion, and personal involvement helped launch metoward a rewarding career in a field I’m very excited about.”FIRST YEARFALL SEMESTERCL LAB CR# CP 107 Introduction to Programmingwith C++ 2 3 3# EL 101 Electric Circuits 3 3 4# EL 115 Digital Fundamentals 2 3 3EN 101 English Composition 4 0 4MT 133 Elementary Functions 5 0 519SPRING SEMESTER# CP 112 Machine and Assembly Language 3 3 4# CP 215 Integrated Circuits and Interfacing 3 3 4EN 125 Communication and the Literatureof Science and Technology 3 0 3MT 134 Pre-Calculus 4 0 4PH 133 Physics I 3 2 419SECOND YEARFALL SEMESTER# CP 235 Algorithms with ObjectOriented Programming 3 3 4# CP 260 Computer Real Time Interfacing 3 3 4# CP 301 Computer Project Definition 1 0 1MT 205 Calculus I 4 0 4PH 202 Physics IIa (1st 7.5 weeks) 3 2 2XX xxx Social Science Elective* 3-4 0 3-418-19SPRING SEMESTER# CP 222 Data Communications 3 3 4# CP 240 Programming for WindowsOperating Systems 3 3 4# CP 252 Networking and InternetTechnologies 3 3 4# CP 303 Computer Project 1 4 3XX xxx Humanities/Fine Arts/ForeignLanguage Elective 3 0 318TOTAL CREDITS 74-75Please Note: MT 206 is an additional course recommended for thosestudents planning to further their education.# Indicates major field courses.* Any course with a prefix of AN, EO, HI, PS, PY or SO.Specific Admission Requirements1.
