Be Immersed in the World of Engineering at CCM on May 29
Students, Teachers and Career Changers Invited to Gain Hands-on Experience
County College of Morris (CCM) invites high school students, teachers, career changers and curious minds to explore the rapidly growing field of engineering on Friday, May 29, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This free community event, with lunch provided, will take place in the college’s state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Center.
“CCM’s Engineering Day will feature interactive workshops on 3D printing, 3D modeling, material testing, robotics and electronics, providing students with valuable hands-on experience,” said Zahra Khalkhali, assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Technologies & Engineering Science at CCM. “Our experienced faculty will guide visitors through the department’s state-of-the-art equipment in the college’s labs and facilities, discuss academic pathways in engineering, and answer questions about careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).”
According to Choose New Jersey, the state has the most STEM jobs per square mile and boasts one of the most highly skilled and educated workforces in the nation. As industries continue to evolve, from the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and machine learning to renewable energy, robotics and automation, the need for engineering solutions continues to grow.
Attendees will also learn about the engineering and advanced manufacturing programs at CCM, which was recently ranked in the Top 25 New Jersey State Schools for Engineering Majors Seeking Strong Value by Rebellion Research. The college offers certificate of achievement programs that can be completed in less than one year, with credits applicable toward faster completion of an associate degree, preparing students to enter the workforce or seamlessly transfer to a four-year institution.
