Why Study Engineering Technology at CCM?
No prior mechanical design experience is necessary to enter the Mechanical Engineering Technology program that is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, (www.abet.org)
At CCM you will have access to equipment used in local industry and faculty with many years of industrial experience. The program applies to those individuals seeking employment after completing their two-year degree or those wishing to transfer into a four-year engineering technology program. This program is through on-campus learning between lectures and laboratory with high-end computers and equipment.
The college has a transfer agreement with the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Students have also transferred into other four-year colleges such as Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and The College of New Jersey after completing an associate degree in mechanical engineering technology at CCM. Transfer Services is here to help you with this process.
Paying For Your Engineering Technology Education
Earning a certificate in Engineering Technology is a powerful investment that will pay off over the course of your life, in both increased earnings and job satisfaction. But what is the upfront cost, and how do you afford it?
There’s good news: Money is available to help you pay for school! Our Financial Aid staff can provide lots of information about the process of finding funds to help pay for your education.
Scholarship opportunities are available also to students pursuing the associate degree program. Please contact the Department of Engineering Technology and Engineering Science for more information.
Featured Courses
Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) I & II
Learn the concepts and operation of engineering drawing preparation in this lecture and laboratory in this four-credit, two-semester course. Become proficient in AutoCAD to aid in reducing drawing time and improve accuracy. Additional topics include prototype drawings, blocks, attributes, x-reference, grips, paper space and development of 3-dimensional solid modeling.
Introduction to Experimentation and Design
A required course in the Engineering Technology programs that introduces students to the field of engineering. Students will be introduced to experimental techniques, data collection and representation, as well as the proper method for documenting experimental results. The course will also cover topics that will help students succeed in their field of study and in their college experience.
