Director of First-Year Engineering Program

Founded in 1904, Wentworth Institute of Technology provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, project-based educational experience. Under the guidance of caring faculty and staff, students develop into career-ready, skilled professionals and engaged citizens through an education that integrates classroom, laboratory, studio, cooperative, and experiential learning,

More than 60 labs and studios and 20 degrees are available through the Schools of Architecture and Design, Computing and Data Science, Engineering, Management, and Sciences and Humanities. Students can choose from both undergraduate and graduate degree programs, as well as a variety of certificate programs.

Wentworth aims to be a student-centered institution of inclusive excellence that embraces a culture of innovation and creativity; serves society through urban engagement; and fosters growth for local, regional, and national economies.

Our nearly 4,000 students are relentlessly curious, and their passion carries well beyond the lab. From robotics clubs to design collaborations, there is no shortage of opportunity for students to connect with others and challenge themselves in pursuit of a better tomorrow. Wentworth prioritizes students’ health and well-being and provides high-quality services, activities, programs, and opportunities to support their growth and transformation.

A Wentworth education equips graduates with a highly valued skillset. Students have the chance to complete a minimum of two cooperative learning (co-op) semesters during their four years of study, and approximately half of students receive a job offer from their co-op company prior to graduation. Ninety-five percent of the Class of 2021 were employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation.

Hands-on, future-focused, and career-ready—Wentworth is the University of Opportunity.

Wentworth Institute of Technology is a collaborative, mission-driven community of educators and professionals committed to excellence in ourselves and in the students we teach and support.
