Manufacturing Engineering Technology,
A.S. Degree
Program Design
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology 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.
College of Technology - Technology Pathway Program
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program, through the Connecticut
College of Technology Pathways Program, provides for direct entry into baccalaureate
industrial and engineering technology programs at Central Connecticut
State University. Students may enter CCSU engineering technology
programs through the Manufacturing Engineering Technology A.S. degree
program at MCC and, upon successful completion of the program, continue
on to CCSU with a full two years of credit towards a baccalaureate degree
in industrial technology or engineering technology. For more information, call
Robert Fortier at 860-512-2623.
Curriculum
Students may enroll in this program full- or part-time. Courses are offered
during day and evening hours. Preparation for the Manufacturing Engineering
Technology program includes a high school diploma or equivalent with one year
of physics and two years of mathematics including Algebra I and Algebra II.
For students not prepared for the required mathematics and English courses,
MCC offers a wide range of developmental and preparatory courses. (See
Pre-Technical Education Preparation, page 27.)
