Technology Studies, A.S., Engineering Technology 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 four year bachelor of science degree in Industrial Technology, Engineering Technology, Electronic Technology, Computer-Aided Design or Technology Education at Central Connecticut State University’s (CCSU) School of 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 (860) 512-2623 or email at: mrooke@mcc.commnet.edu.

Curriculum

Students may enroll in this program either full or part-time. Courses are offered both during the day or evenings. For students not yet prepared for the required mathematical courses, MCC offers a wide range of developmental course offerings.
