What our students and alumni say about COTC

Alexis McPeck stands behind a podium with the Intel logo at their semiconductor factory, or fab, in Phoenix, Arizona.I’m so glad I made the decision to try and go back to school, because I’ve learned that I can do what I initially thought was impossible. COTC has been great with helping me through this experience. 

Alexis McPeck, electrical engineering technology student and recipient of the Intel Scholarship for Women in Technology

I really enjoyed the multigenerational element of COTC. I found it to be overwhelmingly enlightening to see what other people were doing in their walks of life. I learned a lot and got great exposure to engineering concepts. But I also got a great social awakening, too.

My COTC experience afforded me the opportunity to build upon my vocational background and provided me with the stepping stones to pursue additional education and roles within the manufacturing industry.
