Embracing a strong core of courses in chemistry, mathematics, and physics, and including basic English and humanities sequences, the program is augmented by basic engineering courses essential to all engineering disciplines.
The primary objective of this program is to provide a basic two years of study for students who wish to continue their education to the baccalaureate level in any of the engineering disciplines. With a baccalaureate degree, opportunities for employment exist in the civil, computer, electrical, environmental, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, and aerospace industries. Opportunity for advancement is excellent, and the financial return is high for those with ability and ambition.
Alfred State College is a member of the SUNY Two Year Engineering Science Association (TYESA). The purpose of this organization is to facilitate the transfer of engineering science graduates to New York State universities with accredited engineering programs. Recent Alfred State engineering science graduates have successfully transferred to Alfred University, Binghamton University, Clarkson University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, NYS College of Ceramics at Alfred University, University at Buffalo and Syracuse University.
A laptop computer is required for students entering the engineering science program. See laptop specifications.
Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, 3624 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19104, (215) 662-5606 and internal review every five years.
The program is approved and follows transfer articulation agreement guidelines of the New York State Associated Engineering Colleges and the SUNY Two Year Engineering Science Association.
Approximately 20 hours are spent in classroom instruction a week with class size ranging from 10 to 25 students. Structured labs are three to six hours a week. The student's academic adviser is a member of the engineering technology faculty.
