Manufacturing Engineering Technology
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology A.S. degree program is designed to be a broad-based engineering science transfer program that provides a foundation of mathematics and basic science, integrated with program components focusing on introductory manufacturing technology and general education. The program emphasizes the application of mathematics and principles of engineering science to technical manufacturing in order to prepare students for transfer to baccalaureate programs in engineering and engineering sciences with a manufacturing engineering focus. The program also prepares students for employment opportunities in entry and second-level positions in manufacturing and industrial technology fields requiring a combination of technical preparation and a strong general education background.More About This Program
Technology Studies
The Connecticut College of Technology Pathways Program is a curriculum that allows students to complete an associate in science degree program in Industrial Technology or Engineering Technology (with many different technology focuses) at a Connecticut community college, and continue on to complete a four-year bachelor of science degree in Industrial Technology, Engineering Technology or Technology Education at Central Connecticut State University's 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 CCSU and, at the same time, complete the requirements for an associate in science degree in Technology Studies at Manchester Community College. For more information on the educational opportunities through the College of Technology Pathways Program, call Mike Rooke at (860) 512-2623 or email at mrooke@mcc.commnet.edu.

Certificates
Computer-Aided Design
The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) certificate program provides students with career-based training in mechanical design utilizing computer-aided drafting/design technology. To provide the necessary technical education base, the program also includes education and training in applied technical mathematics, and engineering drawing and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing skills. Basic training in computer technology is included to prepare students for the two-dimensional (2-D), three-dimensional (3-D) and solid-modeling computer-aided design technology. The CAD technology at the core of this certificate program is AutoCAD integrated with Pro/ENGINEER solid-modeling and rendering technology, both being predominant technology leaders in CAD/solid-modeling.All technical manufacturing and engineering design in today's high-technology business and industry utilizes computer-based, computer-aided design technologies which integrate the design, engineering and manufacturing design analysis, and manufacturing of complex products and product parts, sub-assemblies, and assemblies into a single, technically coherent process.
