2025 PROJECTS
Delve into innovative maritime engineering solutions by exploring advanced technologies such as laser systems for sustainable cleaning methods or additive addressing real-world challenges like cost effectiveness, environmental impact, and performance improvement. Students will combine research, hands-on experimentation, and industry to create practical forward-thinking solutions for the marine industry. ​
Explore the exciting field of additive manufacturing by testing, programming, and repairing advanced 3D printing equipment. Students will engage with advanced 3D printers to produce components using a variety of materials. Including metals and polymers, while solving challenges related to optimizing print quality and resolving machine errors. This project provides hands-on experience in troubleshooting, maintaining, and modifying 3D printing systems to meet industrial standards and needs.
Students will tackle the challenge of automating a complex assembly process critical to scaling quantum computer designs. The project focuses on achieving precision alignment of components mounted on a grid pattern secured with torqued fasteners while minimizing operator input. Students will contribute to streamlining assembly processes for cutting-edge technology through innovation and automation.
The students built a drone and participated in the 2025 NASA CT Space Grant Consortium's Community College Quadcopter Challenge inApril 11, 2025. CT State Manchester was one of seven CT State CC campuses that participated in the event. This project's sponsors were the NASA Connecticut Space Grant Consortium and affiliated faculty.
