City Tech is committed to providing students with the latest technology. More space is dedicated to laboratories than traditional classrooms.

Students have access to two 3-D printers in Architectural Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology, simulation labs in the Department of Nursing, a mechatronics lab for the engineering programs, information security technology in the Department of Computer Systems Technology and a super computer in the Department of Physics.

PARTNERSHIPS CITY TECH HAS BEEN CITED AS “THE ENGINE OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK.” City Tech works with its partners to support the evolution of Brooklyn’s Tech Triangle and the economic expansion of Downtown Brooklyn. In addition, the College works with partners across the borough and City, and will be the lead educational partner in the Sunset Park, Brooklyn based Industry City Innovation Lab, through which the College will deliver tech based training to local residents and provide support services to local businesses.

Through City Tech’s partners, students have the opportunity to intern at companies that operate in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as well as at Goldman Sachs, Brookhaven National Laboratories, Honda, Infor, Microsoft and many other leading corporations.

A special arrangement with Infor provides both student internships and specialized training for faculty in Infor’s proprietary software. Collaboration in the design of the much-imitated P-Tech Early College High School has led to a strong partnership between City Tech and IBM. The division of Continuing Education at City Tech, in partnership with the NYC Department of Small Business Services’ Tech Talent Pipeline and Microsoft, launched Tech Jobs Academy—an intensive, no cost, 16-week technical training program preparing underemployed and unemployed New Yorkers for in-demand tech jobs in cloud and server administration.

City Tech also partners with organizations that feed those in greatest need, and addresses significant gaps in healthcare. The departments of Vision Care Technology and Dental Hygiene each operate patient care clinics that provide services to the community.

CITY TECH’S VALUE IS BEST SUMMED UP BY ITS RECENT VALEDICTORIANS: ALASSANE NGAIDE ’15 AND MARITZA LOPEZ ’14

A

rriving in the United States from West Africa in 2000, with only $150 in his pocket, Alassane Ngaide used some of that money to purchase two basic English learner books so that he could teach himself English. Alassane’s parents had just sold all their belongings in order to send him to the United States so that he—one of nine children—could help support his family and hopefully earn a college degree.

Graduating with a degree in Computer Engineering and with a GPA of 3.974, Alassane surpassed even his own expectations. Now in graduate school at Queens College, he plans to teach math at the college level.

But his path to college wasn’t easy.

For almost a decade, Alassane worked at various jobs to support himself and his family back home, keeping just a few dollars aside for his ultimate goal of earning a college degree. “Being a student at City Tech taught me humility and acceptance. This college taught me that even a poor African man from a tiny village can become successful and realize his dream when he applies himself,” says Ngaide.

Maritza Lopez is the daughter of immigrants who earned a degree in radiologic technology and went on to earn another in Health Services Administration while working at Mt. Sinai Hospital as a radiologic technologist. Before Maritza completed her four-year degree, she was already gainfully employed and thriving in the health care field.

Lopez endured a hardscrabble childhood, learning from an early age to advocate for her father— often hospitalized with complications from diabetes—in the labyrinthine and often impersonal health care system. It was an encounter with a radiologic technician at a New York City hospital, whom she observed treating her father with gentleness, that sealed Lopez’s decision to enter the profession. “At work, for the few minutes or hours that any patient is in my care, I am not just a health care provider, I am their friend. We share laughs and smiles even when they seem impossible to create,” says Lopez, who later discovered that the technician who inspired her was a City Tech alumnus.

Naide and Lopez represent the thousands of City Tech graduates who benefit from the value of a CUNY education. Where Can Technology Take You? At City Tech, the possibilities are endless.

96

%

of City Tech’s 2014-2015 graduates were either employed or furthering their education within six months of graduating.

“ 2,674 miles. By foot, by boat, by train, hungry and thirsty, hidden and in silence. 2,674 miles is the heroic journey my mother took with my sister in her arms in search of a better life...So I held my head high; I am unashamed and undeterred. Being poor or homeless are not things that define who I am, but they are what made me self-reliant, hardworking and resilient...

The greatest gift I take away from being a student at City Tech is the luxury of understanding that I am not a product of my circumstances. Instead, I can pave my own path.”

—Maritza Lopez / Valedictorian ’14
