As part of the Connecticut College of Technology (COT), the Technology Studies A.S. degree provides the knowledge and skills within specific high-demand technology fields. The program consists of lecture and lab course work in engineering, technology, industrial technology, mathematics, sciences, and foundational requirements that provide a solid comprehensive background for continuation in a four-year technology degree program or entry into the workforce. Upon completion of a Technology Studies A.S. degree, students can transfer to Central CT State University or the University of Hartford to complete designated B.S. degrees.
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply mathematical, scientific and technological principles and concepts to identify and formulate solutions to technical problems.
- Apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to solve technical problems.
- Demonstrate the ability to function on teams.
- Recognize the need to engage in life-long learning.
The objective of the Technology Studies: Biomolecular Sciences pathway is to prepare students for transfer to a baccalaureate degree in Biomolecular Sciences at a Central Connecticut State University as well as for entry-level laboratory technician positions. Students who earn an associate’s degree will be able to:
- Transfer into a bachelor’s degree program in biomolecular science.
- Transfer into pre-professional programs such as pre-vet or pre-med.
- Pursue careers as laboratory technicians in academic or industrial settings.
In addition to meeting the Technology Studies outcomes, graduates should be able to:
- Demonstrate basic laboratory skills and working knowledge of safety procedures.
- Understand and be able to apply the scientific method of inquiry.
- Demonstrate a basic understanding of experimental design and analysis.
- Explain basic cellular and organism principles.
- Demonstrate an understanding of basic chemical concepts.
- Perform biotechnology techniques including:
- Gel electrophoresis
- Restriction digests
- Bacterial transformation
- Polymerase Chain Reaction
- DNA fingerprinting
- Annotate genes
- Use a light microscope to view and interpret slides.
- Properly prepare slides for microbiological examination.
- Perform simple and differential staining techniques including Gram stains.
- Demonstrate aseptic techniques for the handling of microorganisms and instruments, including:
- Sterilization and maintenance of sterile transfer instruments
- Perform aseptic transfer
- Obtain samples.
- Use appropriate microbes in a sample using serial dilution techniques.
- Estimate the number of microbes in a sample using serial dilution techniques.
- Use standard microbiology laboratory equipment correctly
