The program is accredited by the Technology AccreditationCommission/Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology,Inc. (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD21202—Telephone (410) 347-7700.The curriculum includes fundamental courses in circuit analysis,linear and digital electronics and programming in the C++ language.Advanced courses incorporate fundamental concepts in practical applicationswith emphasis on systems analysis, design and implementation. Advancedareas of study include machine and assembly language programmingapplications with embedded microsystems, communications andelectronic fabrication utilizing computer aided design (CAD) and engineeringdesign automations (EDA) tools. Students complete the programby applying their technical knowledge in a design project course. Thedegree of Associate in Engineering Technology with a major in ElectronicEngineering Technology will be awarded upon successful completion ofthe program. A 3-year version of this program is available. Contact the DepartmentHead for details.Graduates secure positions in technical fields such as manufacturing,microelectronics, automation and telecommunications. The program alsoprovides the first two years of study towards a Bachelor of Science inEngineering Technology at TAC/ABET accredited colleges and universitiesor students may continue in other degree programs at other collegesand universities.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.)NHTI Alumni ProfileJoel WrightClass of 1990Major: Electronic EngineeringTechnologyCurrently: InfoServe CorporationJoel graduated from the NHTI electronicengineering technology programand continued his engineering technologyeducation at the University ofNH. Before joining InfoServe in 1994,Joel worked at Cabletron and at the Mt. Washington Observatory. Heis responsible for the operation of a growing company that supplieshigh-end, purpose-built computer systems and field service, consulting,and training for those systems to northern NE business and industry.“The background I gained at NHTI was a tremendous boost to my career. Iespecially benefitted from the early exposure to hands-on work in the electronicslabs.”Curriculum for students entering program in 2005-06.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# EL 110 Electronics I 3 3 4# EL 144 Embedded Microsystems 3 3 4EN 125Communication and the Literatureof Science and Technology 3 0 3MT 134 Pre-Calculus 4 0 4PH 133 Physics I 3 2 419SECOND YEARFALL SEMESTER# EL 102 Circuit Analysis 3 3 4# EL 210 Electronics II 3 3 4# EL 305 Design Project Preparation 1 5 3MT 205 Calculus I 4 0 4PH 202 Physics IIa (1st 7.5 weeks) 3 2 217SPRING SEMESTER# EL 215 Advanced Digital Electronics 3 3 4# EL 251 Advanced Topics in Electronics 3 3 4# EL 306 Senior Design Project 2 5 4XX xxxHumanities/Fine Arts/ForeignLanguage Elective 3 0 3XX xxx Social Science Elective* 3-4 0 3-418-19TOTAL CREDITS 73-74Please Note: BN 102 can be substituted for EL 102; MT 206 is an additionalcourse recommended for those students 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.
