Upon completion of the Associate in Science Degree in Video and Audio Production Technology, students will be qualified to start their careers in the following industries: broadcast/non-broadcast television, radio and audio recording. Students are prepared for careers in video production which include: director, technical director, lighting director, camera operator, master control operator, videographer, video editor, producer and production assistant. Opportunities in Audio and Radio Production include: recording technician, board director, editor, video and radio producer, copywriter and on-air talent. Students can earn their Associate’s Degree in Video and Audio Production in as little as 18 months, days or evenings. In addition, after completing certain prerequisites, graduates of this program are eligible to continue on for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Digital Recording Arts or Business Management Technology.
The program has two tracks: Building Construction and Cabinetmaking, and Building Construction and Design.
Building Construction and Cabinetmaking Construction topics include site work and framing procedures for floors, walls, rafters, dormers, and stair systems. Interior installation treatments include drywall installation, taping, and spackling; finished openings, casing, baseboard and molding. The applicable building codes are viewed extensively. Methods of sizing all components are stressed, as are the design considerations mandated by the code.
Students who successfully complete the OSHA class receive an OSHA10 card. Students who successfully complete the Lead Abatement class are eligible to sit for the Rhode Island lead abatement exam.
The cabinetmaking component includes the study of machinery and tools, wood as a material, cabinetmaking joints and assembly. Cabinets are built and completed in the lab. The cabinetmaking portion also includes the set-up, programming, and operation of a Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) router. The construction and cabinetmaking portions of the course include manual and computer assisted drafting (CAD), print reading, and manual and computer aided estimating. The use of computers is emphasized to make students better prepared for this growing, fast paced industry.
Externships are available options in the curriculum. It is the responsibility of the student to secure the externship site.
The program exposes students to more rigorous study of Criminal Justice topics like Case Studies in Criminal Forensics, Domestic & Family Law Issues, Integration of Criminal Law & Criminal Procedure, and Contemporary Issues in Corrections. Students are also provided with the opportunity to choose classes that focus on Digital Forensics or more traditional Criminal Justice topics in designated quarters.
Students are exposed to various specialized disciplines under the Criminal Justice umbrella such as domestic terrorism, ethics, financial and white-collar crimes, corporate and private security, and administrative issues. Students will also study police operations, including traffic enforcement, report writing, use of force issues, critical incident tactics and advanced investigation techniques.
Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice students will utilize the skills and knowledge acquired in each quarter to participate in a challenging multi session Criminal Justice Senior Capstone in their final quarter. The Criminal Justice Senior Capstone Project is a real time investigative assignment beginning with a mock crime event and involves gathering information from victims and/or witnesses, processing the crime scene, and culminates with drafting a comprehensive report and evidence portfolio that will be presented to a panel of law enforcement professionals.
In the final quarter, students may have the option to participate in a Criminal Justice Senior Externship where they will work with criminal justice professionals in the community. During this Senior Externship students will have opportunities to apply classroom training to real life situations in various police departments, courts, correctional facilities, and investigative agencies and gain first-hand knowledge of the Criminal Justice System.
Graduates of this program will be qualified to seek entry-level employment in a number of challenging Criminal Justice professions, such as Police Officer, State Trooper, Correctional Officer, Court Officer, Criminal Justice Counselor, Federal Law Enforcement Officer, Private Security Officer, Crime Scene Investigator, Corporate Loss Prevention, and Insurance Claims Investigator. (Please note: a criminal record may affect a graduate's ability to qualify for some Law Enforcement positions.)
The Cyber Security program is designed to prepare students for a rewarding career in the Network Security industry. The Bachelor of Science degree is ideal for students who already possess an Associate degree in Network Engineering or related discipline. The curriculum includes core topics in the realm of Cyber Security, such as: Computer Systems, Mobile and Network Forensics, Windows and Linux Security and Incident Response.
Students will learn best practices for the design of secure modern networks as well as how to secure existing computers and networks. Students will learn about evolving threats and the proper use of specific security tools. Both security theory and hands on practice are stressed.
The bachelor of science degree in Electrical Engineering Technology (ELT) is designed primarily for those students who already possess an associate degree in fields related to Electronics or Electrical Technology. The program at NEIT emphasizes the hands-on, practical approach to the mastery of Electrical Engineering Technology which is one of the missions of NEIT. This approach is supplemented in the ELT program with increasing levels of electronics and electrical theory, industrial controls, mathematics, and physics. In addition to the normal laboratory performance and theory testing, participants in the ELT program are also expected to demonstrate competence in using both oral and written skills. This is a challenging and demanding academic program, designed both to educate and to provide the personal skills for self-directed learning throughout the student’s professional life.
The ELT program is a unique combination of two traditional electronic and electrical topics. The first, electronic components, electronic subsystems and programming of microprocessor systems are studied in the lectures and the laboratory. The second, automation systems or advanced industrial controls, energy management and process control are also studied in the curriculum. ELT students are presented with applications of complex automation controllers, network communications, data acquisition, process manufacturing and microcontroller systems in order to develop an increased level of understanding which enhances their professional value to prospective employers. At the conclusion of the ELT program, the students are expected to develop and synthesize their own design project demonstrating the applied skills acquired throughout the program or find an internship in a related field. The “Hybrid” approach of the ELT program that combines traditional electronic and electrical skill sets provide the student with a unique knowledge base that will allow them to pursue careers under the direction of an engineering staff but above that of the traditional electrical worker.
The ELT degree can be completed in eighteen months; however, completion time may vary depending on the student’s preparation, background, and personal circumstances. Incoming students will be evaluated individually and may have to take additional courses to adjust for differences in educational background. Graduates of this program are qualified for positions in product development, operations, or technical service. The engineering technologist works with a professional engineer or scientist in converting scientific knowledge and craftsmanship into products and techniques. The entry position into the workplace will, of course, vary from graduate to graduate and will depend on the individual’s work
