Aerospace Engineering Program Receives ABET Accreditation
CETA’s aerospace engineering program has officially received accreditation from ABET, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. This distinction also leads to more career opportunities. The only program of its kind in Connecticut, the aerospace engineering program offers students the opportunity to learn technical concepts relevant to aerospace engineering and design.
UHart Students’ Balloon Grabs a Front-Row Seat for the Eclipse
Thousands of people took to the roads on April 8 to catch the solar eclipse—and one group of UHart students and faculty had a closer look than most. 13 students and three faculty members from CETA headed into the path of totality to launch two high-altitude balloons: one from the campus of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois, and a second balloon from Oak Ridge, Missouri.
Spring 2025 CETA Design Expo
The Spring 2025 CETA Design Expo was held on Friday, May 2. Just before announcing the top projects, Dean Hisham Alnajjar had some advice for the participants: focus on communication.
At the spring expo, ten projects were singled out for exemplary work, with 25 students honored.
Paul Lavoie, chief manufacturing officer for the state of Connecticut, toured the expo to view the students’ projects. He also encouraged the participants to make their careers in Connecticut after graduation.
