Testimonials

Jadon Watson

Cybersecurity '24

"For my COMP 2 class I made a COVID-19 social distancing app that works exactly as I intended. Working on it helped frame how to properly manage a project and create a product that is deployable. Wentworth prepares you for the world outside of school--I feel like I am getting all the tools need to succeed in not just my future career, but for life in general."

Tenzin Lodhen and Vini Cunha

Computer Science, '23

For our capstone, we created an app called What's the Word Wentworth. The main idea of it is to get students out and about through posting events. The app allows you to create events they can post publicly for pickup games of basketball or getting a group together to do a play. It has RSVP features and a map, so that individual students can post events in addition to campus organizations.

"My favorite thing about being a Wentworth student is the amount of accessibility I have. Whatever I want to pursue there is always someone there willing to help or that can lead me in the correct direction."

Patrick Pfenning

M.S. Data Science

"I'm getting my Master's in Data Science and this is my second time around at Wentworth as I did an undergrad in Applied Mathematics and graduated in 2017. I came back and started in Data Science as a part-time student. Wentworth works really well with me being a full time data engineer, so I work full time during the week and I have a really great relationship with the professors here, not only in the data science program, but throughout the institution."

"The Co-ops are an attractive aspect of coming to Wentworth. I'm the type of person that learns more when I can experience the learning and it gives you an awareness of the real world as you're performing the job your major relates to. Not only are we being taught important skills, but we are also prepared for interviews and job expectations."

Mark Mixer

Associate Professor, Applied Mathematics

"Unlike many other universities, where the focus might be more theoretical, we ensure that our students engage directly with real-world applications. This allows them to see the impact of their work, and prepares them for a variety of industry roles upon graduation."
