Engineering Department
Academic Programs
The Engineering Department at CCSU offers the following programs of study:
The Department prepares 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 services.
Students who have chosen a specific academic program will be able to apply appropriate level of scientific, mathematical and basic engineering knowledge and methods, combined with technical skills, in support of engineering activities. In general, four-year planned course of study includes science, mathematics, computer graphics, communications and mechanics, along with laboratory courses in the technical specialization.
Students 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 program in
four years. A Co-op experience is suggested for all students. For
Mechanical Engineering students 400 hour industrial internship is
required for graduation. 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
