Collaborative High School Programs

Project Lead The Way is an initiative which allows high school students to explore careers in engineering or engineering technology by completing a designated sequence of courses as part of their high school curriculum. Courses include Introduction to Engineering Design, Digital Electronics, Principles of Engineering and Computer Integrated Manufacturing. Students who have successfully completed any of these courses may be eligible to apply some of the credits to meet requirements in NHTI’s Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering Technology major.

Project Running Start offers high school students the opportunity to take challenging college courses while at high school at a reduced tuition rate. Students who successfully complete college courses through Project Running Start receive an official transcript from the Community College System of New Hampshire College with which the high school is associated. Some examples of courses offered include Psychology, Accounting, Human Biology, Networking, Macroeconomics, Programming with C++, Physics and Supervision. In addition, introductory engineering courses have been available through Project Lead the Way such as Introduction to Engineering Design, Digital Electronics and Principles of Engineering.

Project Running Start courses will be evaluated for transfer credit using the same guidelines as listed under “Transferring to NHTI.” Students applying to NHTI who have taken Project Running Start courses should have an official transcript sent to the NHTI Admissions Office from the Community Technical College associated with the Running Start course(s) taken. They should also respond to the Running Start questions on the NHTI application for admission.

PLEASE NOTE: Ten ($10) dollar NHTI application fee will be waived for Project Running Start students who submit a copy of their participation letter.

In addition, Project Running Start will offer "in-service" training for the instructors. All of the courses made available through this program are regular offerings at NHTI.

The Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) is collaborating with Cisco Systems to provide a Cisco Network Academies Program in New Hampshire. This initiative provides students with practical network knowledge and skills in a project-based learning environment. Two CCSNH campuses, including NHTI's, will serve as Regional Academies to facilitate the implementation of twenty (20) Local Academies in high schools across the Granite State.
