Meet Connor, a proud Tri‑County graduate from the Auto Collision Repair program who’s taken his hands‑on skills all the way into the world of engineering and defense innovation. After graduating, Connor attended UMass Lowell, earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2022.
🚀 Where He Is Now
Connor is currently a Mechanical Engineer at Textron Systems in Wilmington, MA, contributing to military and defense projects for the Army and Air Force. His work blends advanced engineering with the practical, real‑world skills he first developed at Tri‑County.
🏒 Favorite TC Memory
Connor’s standout moment was his senior hockey game — a night filled with overwhelming love and support from family and friends. It’s a memory he still carries with him.
🛠️ How Tri‑County Shaped His Path
Connor credits his vocational experience for giving him a major advantage:
“Engineering isn’t just sitting behind a computer — it’s understanding tools, materials, and how things are built. Tri‑County gave me a huge leg up in manufacturing and production knowledge.”
One project that made a lasting impact was his senior project, where he built a utility trailer from the ground up. From MIG welding to material selection and structural design, the experience strengthened his skills and boosted his résumé.
💡 Connor’s Advice to Current Students
“Never doubt yourself. When you put your mind to something and give it your best, you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish.”
🔩 Skills That Still Matter Today
From documentation and customer interaction to welding, bonding, safety, and material properties — the skills Connor learned in Auto Collision Repair continue to support his success as an engineer.
We are proud of you Connor! Real skills. Real stories. Real success. That’s CTE!
