School of Engineering

"What stood out is the communal mindset that the Civil Engineering Department share amongst students. We always work in teams. We brief, we revise, and check each other's work. And that's one of the most important things that I take away from being at Wentworth. Wentworth was crucial [in preparing a strong future] because of the faculty, and the challenges that are posed to students from different problems, different coursework."

A degree from Wentworth speaks to a rounded student who has had real job experience and understands the context of their education. The program is application driven and the students are purpose driven, so this makes for the perfect environment for a unique and impactful degree program.

"The biggest impact Wentworth has had on me is how it has prepared me for a professional work environment through our Co-op program. I had three great Co-op experiences during my time at Wentworth. I have worked on the systems engineering team at Instrumentation Laboratory in Bedford, MA, worked as a mechanical engineering intern at Inkcups located in Danvers, MA, and worked as a member of the mechanical engineering/design team at Lyndra, which is a pharmaceutical therapeutics company in Watertown, MA. All three experiences have been different and taught me things I will take to my future place of work post-graduation."

The Wentworth bioengineering degree is focused on the practical applications of bioengineering.  Students at this university not only get to understand the basic chemical, biological and physical principles that underlie bioengineering but receive hands on instruction with industry relevant instrumentation.  

A standout project that my students work on at Wentworth is the creation of new sensing and encapsulation methodologies using NaCl nanoparticles.  Currently I am working with my students to manufacture these particles and test them for their anti-infective properties.  Long term we hope to create better methods to stabilize DNA and RNA in sensing and health applications.

"I knew that Wentworth was the right choice for me on Accepted Students Day. It was my very first time visiting the school and as soon as I stepped onto campus I immediately felt welcomed and wanted here. The Wentworth community is a very open and friendly community and that was one of the key factors which guided my decision in choosing this school."
