As part of the Connecticut College of Technology (COT), the Technology Studies A.S. degree provides the knowledge and skills within specific high-demand technology fields. The program consists of lecture and lab course work in engineering, technology, industrial technology, mathematics, sciences, and foundational requirements that provide a solid comprehensive background for continuation in a four-year technology degree program or entry into the workforce. Upon completion of a Technology Studies A.S. degree, students can transfer to Central CT State University or the University of Hartford to complete designated B.S. degrees.This program has an embedded Advanced Manufacturing Machine Technology Certificate.
These proficiency certificates, awarded for progress made in the CAD program, are available for all students, whether they are working toward an OCC certificate or an associate degree, or if each of these competency milestones are goals in and of themselves. These documents provide validation and some credentialing to show potential employers students’ skill
Job Corps’ Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills needed to work with electrical systems in homes, businesses and factories, including how to install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in places of all sizes, read blueprints and diagrams and will need to follow state and local building regulations, and use various hand tools and power tools. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and certifications in construction health and safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
This certificate provides foundational course work in the engineering technology curriculum. Upon completion of the certificate students can select a pathway in civil, electronics, or mechanical engineering technology.
Both the CAS and AAS provide students the training necessary to enter the field of electrical wiring in residential, commercial, and industrial construction sites. Upon successful completion of the first two semesters, the student has met the requirements for the CAS. Successful completion of all four semesters meets the requirement for the AAS. Graduates are eligible for advanced placement into a registered apprentice position.Upon completion of this program, students will be able toAnalyze, configure, troubleshoot, and assist in designing and measuring electrical and electronic circuits and systems;Relate the National Electrical Code to wiring designs and explain how that design ensures safety;Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of three-phase and single-phase systems;Determine the proper grounding techniques to employ for various electrical devices and installations;Communicate clearly and effectively in speaking and writing with peers, engineers, teams, and customers using appropriate technologies including audio, visual, and graphic;Synthesize the theory and operation of transformers with single- and three-phase connections and alternating current machines; andDemonstrate the assembly and installation of photovoltaic systems.
The WSU Tech Robotics program provides graduates with industry aligned courses designed to prepare them for entry into the highly technical field of Industrial and Collaborative Robotics. The program is a joint effort between WSU Tech and Wichita State University's National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR).
The Electronics Engineering Technology program guides learners in developing relevant and critical skills to be job ready as an electrical controls systems engineering technician in modern manufacturing and industrial environments. Students in this program are exposed to power electronics, switch mode power supply design, specification and technical writing, and programmable logic controllers. Students are prepared to design, analyze, and optimize an electrical control system. This program supports industries such as aerospace, automobile, product manufacturers, and oil & gas as electrical controls engineering technicians. Graduates earn the Electronics Engineering Technology Associate in Science Degree.
The Welding Technology diploma program prepares students with the knowledge and skills needed for entry-level employment in the welding industry. Emphasis is placed on learning OSHA safety practices for industrial environments and developing basic skills in Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Oxy-Fuel Cutting/Welding/Brazing (OFCWB), Plasma Cutting (PAC), Air Carbon Arc (CAC-A) Gouging and welding symbol interpretation. The diploma may be completed at the Harrisburg and York campuses through on-campus/in-person instruction.
Job Corps’ OTP Advanced Manufacturing training program connects Job Corps students with other local training providers like technical or community colleges, trade schools or employers to provide specialized education and training services. Students learn skills like reading and understanding schematics and blueprints, positioning or aligning components and parts either manually or with hoists, using hand tools or machines to assemble parts, conducting quality control checks, and describing the commonalities and differences of the alternating current and direct current (AC/DC) systems (e.g., wire color codes in both). These skills prepare students for a career in manufacturing, production engineering and machine shops. Students who complete Advanced Manufacturing training at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).
