Inside Our Expansive Network

Along with our in-house research centers, our top strength is in our partnerships. In the fast-moving fields of engineering, technology, and architecture, these professional connections give you the skills to excel starting your first day on the job. We are fortunate to be in a region that is exceptionally rich in engineering and architecture firms, with open opportunities, internships, and careers right in front of you.

At CETA, you'll have the chance to interact with many different corporations and industry specialists:

  • Work closely with research center engineers in our Pratt & Whitney Aerospace Turbomachinery Lab.
  • Intern with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technologies, JCJ Architecture, Amenta Emma Architects, or countless other firms.
  • Get involved with the Construction Institute and one of the nearly 300 companies it has access to.
  • Create innovative products and designs for local companies through industry-sponsored capstone projects.

One of the main ways our students work directly with industry partners is through CETA's bi-annual Design Expo! Through the design expo, students work with sponsors and create one-of-a-kind inventions to benefit society.

The College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture has been welcoming transfer students from the PSG Institute of Technology in Coimbature, India in a strategic partnership that enables PSG students to complete their engineering degrees at the University of Hartford.  We worked with PSG Chairman Radhakrishnan during meetings in West Hartford and in Coimbature on articulation agreements that enable PSG students to join our fourth year class and do their capstone projects with us. This arrangement has worked well for both institutions and their students as we have welcomed these well-prepared students from southern India.  Please let us know if your institution would be interested in exploring similar agreements.

A delegation from Shanghai Normal University's electrical engineering department visited the University of Hartford on February 16, 2012 for the signing of the 4+1 articulation agreement.  Dr. Clara Fang and Dean Lou Manzione hosted the delegation. The delegation met with several university officials including President Harrison and Provost Vasquez as well as faculty from the electrical and mechanical engineering departments.

Delegation Members included Jifeng Huang, Associate Dean, College of Info., Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Normal University; Ming Li, Director, Fengxian Campus Administration, Shanghai Normal University; Pei Wang, Chair, Dept. of Info. and Electrical Engineering, College of Info., Mechanical and Electrical Engineering , Shanghai Normal University; Hong He, (Translator), Faculty, Dept. of Info. and Electrical Engineering, College of Info., Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Normal University.
