Wentworth Institute of Technology is a private, co-educational college of design and engineering. The institution was founded in 1904 by Arioch Wentworth and a group of seven esteemed colleagues as an attempt to promote education in mechanical engineering and mechancial arts, two fields they believed to be grossly underrepresented in the world of higher education. Whether they study construction management or interior design, Wentworth students are always working on projects that have both a theoretical and "real world" application. Most of their programs include some sort of co-op during the third year of study, much like their neighbor Northeastern University.
While Wentworth is known to be predominantly male-populated college, they do boast the first female president (Zorica Pantic) ever to lead a technical institute.
As a member of the Colleges of the Fenway, Wentworth shares its facilities and resources with other local schools, often hosting events and concerts for the COF. Their cafeteria, gym, courses, and athletic fields are open for access to anyone who can furnish a COF ID.
See Povo's Guide to Colleges of the Fenway here.
Wentworth's notable alumni include the politician Stephen Lynch and the actor Matt LeBlanc of Friend's fame.
