Program offered is an Associate Degree.

Starting in Fall 2009, the curriculum in New England Tech's Associate Degree program in Electrical Technology will be expanded to include renewable energy generation. Topics covered will include various renewable energy sources such as wind power, photovoltaic power, hydro power, fuel cells, tidal power, solar hot water and geo-thermal power. Students will examine the components, installation, environmental impact, maintenance, practicality, site sustainability, and local regulations pertaining to renewable energy sources and will track the energy produced by New England Tech’s wind turbine and photovoltaic panels including net metering analysis and economic impact. Upon completion, students will be prepared to take the national certification exam offered by the North American Board or Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).

To support these new courses, New England Tech will be installing a 156-foot-tall wind turbine at its Access Road Campus next to Route 95. At the same time, it will also mount 135 SolarWorld solar electric (photovoltaic, or "PV") panels on its Electrical Technology Building at the same campus. Using solar electric and wind turbine technologies, New England Tech will demonstrate the possibilities of renewable energy generation for both academic purposes and for economic and environmental concerns.
