College of Engineering,
Technology and Architecture
The College of Engineering and Technology encompasses the exciting and growing areas of Architecture,
Engineering and Technology. As spectacular as today's technology seems, the age of technology is just
dawning. For those that have the skills to improve existing technologies and design new ones, there
is a world of opportunity emerging. While Engineering and Engineering technology graduates work as
part of a team, there are important distinctions between their responsibilities Engineering stresses
theory, analysis and design, while it is engineering technology that applies that theory to solve
real-life problems. The College's Architecture programs allow students students a through understanding
of how buildings are designed and created.
Engineering Programs
Imagine a world where cars are guided by automatic pilots, computers run "smart" buildings,
holographic TVs project three-dimensional moving images, and portable phones are as
small as a tie clip.
Now imagine that you have a part in designing and building this future world. With an education
from the University of Hartford, that is where your career in engineering can take you.
The successful engineers of tomorrow will be those who have mastered a wide array of subjects,
not just a strong knowledge of math and science alone. Our Engineering curriculum,
which has been restructured through a grant from the National Science Foundation, focuses on
problem solving and design, while also integrating the understanding of people and businesses,
environments and industries. The engineers who turn today's visions into tomorrows realities
will know how to blend disciplined learning, applied creativity, and seasoned intuition.
As a student in Engineering, you will have valuable hands-on opportunities to work and learn
in area businesses during internships, seminars, and individual and class projects. You will
study with dedicated faculty members who continue to expand their knowledge through active
research and consultation, and you will gain even more experience by working in our state-of-the-art laboratories.
All engineering degree programs are accredited by the Board of Higher Education of the State
of Connecticut and by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. In addition, the
Electrical, Mechanical, Computer, Biomedical, and Civil Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Engineering Technology
If you are fascinated by how things work and want to use that knowledge to solve
problems, a degree in engineering technology is the answer. With a bachelor's degree
in engineering technology, you will bridge the gap between those who design new technologies
and those who build them. You will have the theoretical background to work directly with
the engineer or the architect. Yet, you will also have the practical, hands-on experience
to oversee the work of the craftsmen. This program will prepare you well for the real world.
While engineering and engineering technology graduates work as part of a team, there are
important distinctions between their responsibilities Engineering stresses theory, analysis
and design, while it is engineering technology that applies that theory to solve real-life problems.
Our state-of-the-art laboratories and studios occupy a total of more than 6,000
square feet and ensure that you receive a practical, as well as theoretical, education.
Our facilities simulate the workplace and give you the opportunity to gain hands-on
experience in electrical fundamentals, computer applications, architectural design,
analog electronics, and CAD/CAM.
We have a corps of dedicated professors who
can help prepare you to take your place in this exciting field. You will find small,
highly interactive classes, taught by professors who take a genuine interest in the
success of their students. Faculty members stay current in their fields and many are
expert consultants for leading corporations and government organizations.
Graduates are employed by many of today's leaders in technology, among them:
ABB/Combustion Engineering, Honeywell, Connecticut Light and Power, IBM, Digital Equipment
Corporation, Kaman, Ensign-Bickford, Motorola, General Electric, Northeast Utilities,
Gerber Scientific, Otis Elevator, Hamilton Sundstrand, United Technologies,
Hewlett-Packard, and Verizon.
Our programs in Architectural Engineering Technology, Electronic Engineering
Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology are accredited by the Technology
Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology
(ABET). As a graduate from an ABET accredited baccalaureate engineering technology
program you may take the EIT (Engineer in Training) exam in more than 70% of the states,
including Connecticut. If you pass the EIT, after a prescribed waiting period you will
be eligible to sit for the PE (Professional Engineer) exam.
