Technology Studies, A.S., Computer­Aided Design Option

Connecticut College of Technology Pathways Program

Program Design

The Connecticut College of Technology Pathways program allows students to complete an associate of science degree program in Technology Studies at Manchester Community College, and continue on to complete a fouryear Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology, Engineering Technology or Technology Education at Central Connecticut State University’s (CCSU) School of Industrial and Engineering Technology. The curriculum offers a broad range of
studies and topics in: mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering drawing and Computer-aided design (CAD), electronics, computer technologies, advanced manufacturing technologies (robotics, automation, Computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM) and other courses in special areas of technology. The program also includes a solid core of courses in general education. Each of the courses is directly transferable to CCSU. Successful completion of the program allows
students to enter their junior year at Central Connecticut State University.

For more information on the educational opportunities through the College of Technology Pathways program, call Dr. Michael Rooke, Division Director, Center for Business and Technologies, at 8605122623. or email at: mrooke@mcc.commnet.edu. Also visit the College of Technology’s website at: www.commnet.edu/services/college_of_tech.asp.

Advising by a faculty advisor in the Department of Engineering & Technology, or from Dr. Rooke
is strongly recommended for selection of any electives in this program in order to maximize
transferability.
