Are you a high school student or career-changer curious about how engineers shape the world? County College of Morris (CCM) invites you to “Engineering Day” on Friday, May 30, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to learn more about the high-demand field. This free, hands-on event, will be held at the college’s state-of-the-art Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Center, the college’s first regional building designed to serve, support and positively impact engineering and manufacturing throughout northwest New Jersey.
“CCM’s Engineering Day is designed for students who want to explore the fields of mechanical and electrical engineering technologies,” said Preethi Ganapathy, assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Technologies & Engineering Science at CCM. “Roll up your sleeves and experience interactive activities such as materials testing, 3D modeling, 3D printing, robotics and electronics. Our passionate faculty will also lead guided tours and live demonstrations, giving an insider’s look at our cutting-edge labs, tools and equipment. Don’t miss it—your future in engineering starts here!”
Whether you are just starting your journey or are looking to pivot into a new career, the event will also provide information about the programs CCM offers in the engineering field, including a variety of certificates and associate degrees.
