Robert Dinan, a Mechanical Engineering major in CETA, was one of the presenters at Manufacturing Your Future: Careers Expo II at the Connecticut Expo Center in Hartford, June 3 through 5. The Careers Expo brings together Connecticut’s high-tech manufacturers, the members of the Connecticut College of Technology (CCOT), and the Regional Center for Next Generation Manufacturing (one of the centers in the CCOT) who make presentations to thousands of Connecticut middle- and high-school students.
Dinan, pictured below with William Ivey of Manchester Community College, another member school of CCOT, and a mockup of the torso of a spacesuit, presented for the Center for Life Support and Sustainable Living (LSSL). That center is a means for students from the various schools in CCOT to work on real-world projects in partnership with industry and government. Among the projects the students are working on are an apnea response system for infants, measurements of shoulder/spacesuit clearances during activity, and support of homeland security with helicopter-based systems. Many CETA students are involved in LSSL projects, some of them beginning in their freshman year. Dinan works on Support of Homeland Security with Helicopter-Based Systems, a project involving design of pods to be delivered by helicopter to disaster sites. Ivey has worked on the Measurement of Shoulder/Spacesuit Clearances During Activity, an effort to prevent shoulder injuries in astronauts as they work.

William Ivey and Bob DinanAnn Lankford, Liaison Manager for CETA, staffed the University of Hartford booth in the CCOT section of the Expo. She talked to students about the opportunities here in CETA to study and prepare for high-tech careers.
