Dual Admissions and Pathway Program

NHTI Dual Admission Agreement

Students who earn an associate degree in mechanical, electronic, robotics and automation, computer or manufacturing engineering technology at NHTI are automatically considered for admission to UNH Manchester's bachelor's degree program in either electrical or mechanical engineering technology, without having to complete a separate application. Students will need to complete and file the Dual Admit/Intent to Release Information forms with the NHTI registrar’s office during the semester they intend to graduate, then the registrar’s office will forward the file to UNH Manchester to process admission.

UNH Manchester's Pathways Program provides curriculum guides to show you which courses at NHTI will transfer into UNH Manchester's electrical engineering technology program. Click on your NHTI program below to find your pathway:

Nashua Community College Dual Admission Agreement

Students who earn an associate degree in computer or electronic engineering technology at Nashua Community College are automatically considered for admission to UNH Manchester's bachelor's degree program in either electrical or mechanical engineering technology, without having to complete a separate application. Students will need to complete and file the Dual Admit/Intent to Release Information forms with the NCC registrar’s office during the semester they intend to graduate, then the registrar’s office will forward the file to UNH Manchester to process admission.

A.S. in electronic engineering technology

Engineering Access Program

The Engineering Access Program (EAP) is a cooperative effort of shared resources between UNH Manchester, NHTI and the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) at UNH in Durham. EAP gives students a path to a UNH bachelor of science degree in physics or chemical, civil, electrical or mechanical engineering through a two-stage, articulated transfer process.

UNH Manchester students enter their freshman year as an 'undeclared' bachelor's degree candidate or an Associate in Arts in general studies candidate. During freshman year, most program requirements are completed at the Manchester campus, with potentially some courses at NHTI in Concord. Upon completing all freshman course requirements and satisfying required achievement standards, students can transfer to their desired CEPS program and complete their sophomore, junior and senior years at the university's Durham campus.

Exceptions

Former UNH students: If you previously held degree status at UNH but did not complete your degree, you will need to complete a separate application for readmission. Please contact UNH Manchester's admissions office for more information, or download the application for readmission.
International students: Please visit the international student admissions page for more information and to apply.

Labs

Electrical Engineering Lab

The electrical engineering lab houses 10 uniform stations, each equipped with an oscilloscope, industry-standard CAD software and more to give you the hands-on experience that puts you ahead.

Machine Shop

Equipped with vertical and horizontal milling machines, a computer numerical controlled milling machine, a lathe, various saws and a disc sander, the machine shop gives students hands-on skills in mechanical fabrication and testing, better preparing them for high-demand manufacturing roles.

Capstone Lab

Equipped with electronic workspaces, soldering stations, 3D printers and more, the capstone lab offers creative space for seniors working on their culminating projects.

Career Outcomes

The electrical engineering technology program prepares graduates with the skills necessary to enter careers in the design, application, installation, manufacturing, operation and/or maintenance of electrical and electronic(s) systems. The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates positive growth in many engineering-related professions, projecting more than 12,000 jobs for electrical engineers by 2020. That growing demand translates into high employment rates and starting salaries for EET graduates, giving you the practical skills for an impactful, lucrative career.

In its annual salary survey, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) shows engineering technology majors earn the top average starting salary among STEM graduates at the bachelor’s degree level.

The engineering technology program at UNH Manchester consistently supports students in their future endeavors. According to the 2020 UNH First Destination Survey report, 96% of engineering technology graduates were employed within six months of graduation, with 100% being satisfied with their post-graduate plans. Additionally, Class of 2020 graduates reported an average starting salary of $66,875. UNH Manchester's engineering technology program directly supports local workforce needs, with 85% of engineering technology 2020 graduates living and working in the state of New Hampshire.
