A GREAT Way for a Connecticut Students to Become a Technology Education Teacher or Engineer

The College of Technology is a specialized curriculum that allows a student to begin technology or engineering technology studies at any of the state's 12 Community Colleges with the ultimate goal of achieving a 4-year, baccalaureate degree in Engineering or Technology at the University of Connecticut, Fairfield University, Central Connecticut State University, the University of Hartford, University of New Haven, or Charter Oak State College.

Along the way, a student has the opportunity to earn a two-year associate degree, gain marketable skills, and explore interesting careers in fields projected to enjoy employment growth in the coming years. The program, as a whole, allows students to continue their studies at the participating colleges and universities as juniors without any loss of credit.

The Community Colleges' College of Technology program offers the student affordable tuition significantly reducing the cost of higher education.

What's a Blog

A blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.

In simple terms, a blog is a web site, where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. New stuff shows up at the top, so your visitors can read what's new. Then they comment on it or link to it or email you. Or not.

Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.
