海角原创 at Trumbull will host two events on Friday, Feb. 27, highlighting its Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs and the growing demand for skilled technicians in advanced manufacturing and semiconductor industries.
The campus will welcome area high school students for a morning Engineering Technology Showcase beginning at 10 a.m., followed by a public Tech & Trade Open House from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Technology Building.
Morning Engineering Technology Showcase (10 a.m.鈥1 p.m.)
Students from Rivergate High School and Theodore Roosevelt High School have confirmed attendance for the morning program. Additional schools may participate.
The visit will begin with a presentation outlining 海角原创 Trumbull鈥檚 engineering technology pathways in Room 117. Students will then rotate through six specialized laboratories, where they will witness live demonstrations of:
- A HAAS CNC milling machine performing high-precision machining;
- Vacuum systems in operation;
- Robotics applications;
- 3D printing technologies;
- Photolithography processes used in semiconductor manufacturing.
Students from Theodore Roosevelt High School will also participate in an expanded lab experience led by Associate Professor Flavia Inbanathan, Ph.D., offering deeper exposure to semiconductor and microelectronics applications.
Media are encouraged to attend the morning session, when students will be actively engaged in hands-on demonstrations and lab tours. Visual opportunities include robotics in action, advanced machining equipment, and microelectronics fabrication processes.
Afternoon Tech & Trade Open House (3鈥6 p.m.)
Later that day, 海角原创 Trumbull will host a Tech & Trade Open House showcasing its engineering technology and semiconductor programs. The event is designed for high school students, adult learners and local employers interested in workforce development and employee training opportunities.
Visitors will tour mechanical engineering technology labs, including the state-of-the-art HAAS CNC machine, and participate in interactive demonstrations within the microelectronics and semiconductor manufacturing labs. Faculty and staff will be available to discuss academic programs, career pathways and flexible credential options.
At 海角原创 Trumbull, students can earn two-year Associate of Applied Science degrees in electrical/electronic engineering technology and mechanical engineering technology. These programs articulate into the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology degree with two additional years of full-time study offered through the Tuscarawas Campus.
The campus also offers undergraduate certificates in semiconductor manufacturing technician, advanced semiconductor manufacturing technician, computer-aided drafting: design technician and CAD for manufacturing, along with microcredentials in 3D printing, drafting and design, electrical technician and introduction to semiconductors for STEM majors.
鈥淲e鈥檙e always excited to welcome local students who want to explore what our engineering programs have to offer,鈥 said Peggy Shadduck, Ph.D., vice president of 海角原创鈥檚 Regional Campuses and dean of the College of Applied and Technical Studies. 鈥淭he industries our graduates serve are growing rapidly across the region, and we鈥檙e committed to preparing a highly skilled workforce to meet those evolving demands.
鈥淥ur engineering and semiconductor programs, certificates and pathways are designed to prepare students for high-demand careers powering today鈥檚 advanced technologies and tomorrow鈥檚 breakthroughs. With hands-on learning, industry-aligned curriculum and flexible options, students can build skills that translate directly to the workforce or continued study.鈥
