Architectural Building Engineering Technology — Associate’s Degree

Return to Career Choices

“If you don't invest in yourself, who will? My investment was my education at New England Tech and the return was my exciting career as Project Coordinator at Davitt Design Build. I was in construction for many years. I wanted a career that would allow me to use my knowledge in the construction field. I found what I was looking for in the Architectural Building Engineering Technology program. The faculty bent over backwards to help me and I learned skills that are invaluable in this field. New England Tech is one of the most positive experiences in my life.”

~ Jeff Nigrelli, Project Coordinator, Davitt Design Build
