Nashua Community College’s Mechanical Engineering Technology degree is based on the real-world experience of our instructors and the time tested fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering.
This program includes multiple design courses using the parametric design software Solidworks. Additional disciplines include hydraulics and pneumatics, programmable logic controllers, circuit analysis, chemistry and machining technology to provide students with a range of engineering disciplines.
A fundamental component of engineering is mathematics and physics which helps students understand and solve a wide range of engineering problems and challenges. These courses and others such as English, communications, applied mechanics and chemistry round out our Mechanical Engineering Technology Program.
This program provides students the opportunity to directly transfer into the Mechanical Engineering Technology degree at UNH Manchester. This bachelor of science degree offers students a greater number of engineering opportunities in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
