Mechanical Engineering Technology

Bachelor of Science Degree

The Bachelor of Science degree program in Mechanical Engineering Technology is designed to provide students with a foundation of knowledge and hands-on experience that are required and utilized by the industry. The program offers traditional courses such as Statics, Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Material Science, Machine & Product Design, Applied Fluid Mechanics, Applied Thermodynamics, and Applied Heat Transfer providing graduates with a solid foundation of the field. The program also offers numerous technology-based and practical courses such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Machining, Quality Control, Electronic Packaging Applications, Electromechanical Control Systems, Robotics, and HVAC Systems providing students with a well-balanced and needed background in Mechanical Engineering Technology. These technology based courses are delivered through our state-of-the-art laboratories. Students also benefit from the required senior project that provides the students with valuable integrating capstone experience.

This program is ideal for high school graduates and Mechanical Engineering Technology associate degree graduates who wish to enter careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, technical sales, maintenance, HVAC, and other endeavors typically associated with mechanical components and systems.

This is a four-year program. Students may matriculate on a full-time or part-time basis. This program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET.

Please refer to the General Education, Applied Learning, and Writing Intensive requirement sections of the College Catalog and consult with your advisor to ensure that graduation requirements are satisfied.

As a part of the SUNY General Education Framework, all first-time full time Freshman at Farmingdale State College (FSC) beginning Fall 2023, are required to develop knowledge and skills in Diversity: Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ). Students will be able to fulfill this requirement at FSC by taking a specially designated DEISJ course that has been developed by faculty and approved by the DEISJ Review Board. DEISJ-approved courses may meet other General Education Knowledge and Skills areas and/or core competencies and thus be dually designated. DEISJ-approved courses may also earn other special designations such as those for Applied Learning or Writing Intensive.

1. Students that repeat a major required course three times and receive three failing grades (F's) in that course will be dismissed from the MET program
