Program Design
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology associate degree program is designed to be a broad-based engineering technology 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 technology with a manufacturing engineering focus, such as the MET program at CCSU. 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. The program also enhances the science background of those who already employed in the relevant field but do not possess a degree.
College of Technology-Technology Pathway Program
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology program provides for direct entry into baccalaureate industrial and engineering technology programs. Upon successful completion of the program, MCC graduates in this field may continue on with a full two years of credit towards a baccalaureate degree in manufacturing engineering technology or industrial technology at Central Connecticut State University.
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.

Notes:
Becoming Connecticut State Community College STUDENTS: The Community Colleges are undergoing a merger with a plan to become Connecticut State Community College in fall 2023; please work closely with your advisor/program coordinator to select your courses accordingly. See below for more detail about this exciting transition! Becoming Connecticut State Community College A merger of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges is underway. Connecticut State Community College (CT State), a statewide college comprised of all Connecticut’s current community college locations, plans to open its doors in the Fall 2023. Here are some important facts students need to know: - the final commencement ceremony for Manchester Community College is scheduled for May 2023. Ceremonies will continue to be held at each location as campuses of CT State.
- as a part of the planned merger, students continuing their studies beyond summer term 2023 will be matched with the CT State program that most closely aligns with their Spring 2023 major and is offered at the Manchester location,
- students beginning Associate degree programs in Fall 2021 should plan with their advisor/program coordinator to attend full-time if they wish to graduate prior to the planned merger,
- students who begin an Associate degree program in January 2022 would be anticipated to complete their degree at the merged college, Connecticut State Community College,
- in all cases, the College is committed to students completing their education with a minimum of disruption and staying in touch with your advisor/program coordinator is essential,
- further details can be found and will be updated on the Frequently Asked Questions page: www.ct.edu/ctstate/academics.
‡ Students who receive credit for MAT* 250 have fulfilled the MAT* 254 requirement. |
