A Strong Engineering Foundation

Wentworth's Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree program utilizes an innovative curriculum that provides students the flexibility to integrate an engineering course of study with electives of their choice to broaden their education for their professional and personal goals. Students in the program will customize their education, both their specialized area of engineering study and their personal directed studies, with a full-time faculty mentor. This program is ideal for students with more than one area of interest.

Over the course of the program, students may select courses that match their personal interests and broaden their career options. The combinations are varied and limited only by student interests and imagination. Our engineering students have focused on fields ranging from Sustainability, Life Cycle Analysis, Business Management, Computer Science, Applied Math and Sciences, Music, and Art. 

Through Wentworth’s strong network of employers, including many alumni, students in this program obtain professional experience during their two required, and paid, cooperative work semesters.

Advanced Manufacturing Track

The Engineering-Advanced Manufacturing program prepares students for modern, technology-driven fabrication and production environments. The curriculum combines mechanical engineering, materials science, manufacturing engineering, and operations management to develop expertise in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 systems. Students gain hands-on experience with advanced manufacturing, automation, supply chain, digital manufacturing, quality control, and production management to design and operate efficient, intelligent factory systems.

Course topics include:

• Manufacturing Processes: Transform materials into products, including milling, forging and additive manufacturing
• Mechatronics: Enable factory automation by integrating mechanical systems with electrical power, digital electronics, and computer control
• Quality Control: Use statistics and measurement science to guarantee that what was designed is exactly what was built

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the Commission’s General Criteria, with no applicable program criteria.
