The Department has five technical specializations designed to prepare students to become active partners with the engineers and to be team members of the total technological enterprise that extends from design, planning and production to construction and/or service.
Students who have chosen a specific track in Mechanical Engineering or Engineering Technology will be able to apply scientific, mathematical and basic engineering knowledge and methods, combined with technical skills, in support of engineering activities. The four-year planned course of study includes science, mathematics, computer graphics, communications and mechanics, along with laboratory courses in the technical specialization.
The civil, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering technology programs are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (11 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202 410/347-7700).
Students of senior standing within an accredited program are eligible to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination as the first step towards obtaining their Professional Engineer (PE) licensure. Application materials may be requested from the Department of Consumer Protection, 165 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106-1630; phone: (860) 713-6145. Additional information about the examination may be obtained from the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Website at http://www.ncees.org.
Plans of Study
Those students enrolled in the Department of Engineering may attend the University full or part-time. Courses offered in the late afternoon or evening allow part-time students to maintain full-time employment. Full-time students may complete their 130-credit program in four years. A Co-op experience is suggested for all students.
