Engineering the future of farming.
SUNY Morrisville’s agricultural engineering technology Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program trains you to service and repair agricultural and commercial equipment.
Why SUNY Morrisville Agricultural Engineering Technology?
Students interested in agriculture and mechanical applications will find our A.A.S. program both challenging and rewarding. Accredited by the Equipment & Engine Training Council (EETC), the program curriculum covers equipment care & maintenance, farm machinery principles, agricultural engineering, diesel electronics, metals, precision farming and hydraulics.
Graduates will not be limited for career options, as the farm equipment industry serves not only the commercial farmer but is also one of the major suppliers of lawn, garden and small recreational equipment, as well as construction equipment such as backhoes and small bulldozers for industrial uses.
Students can enhance their academic work through participation in the Agricultural Engineering Club, Collegiate Future Farmers of America (FFA), Dairy Club, Dairy Judging Team, Autumn Review Sale, National Agriculture Day, Showmanship Contest and the Northeast Regional Dairy Challenge.
Additional courses in mathematics are available for students interested in continuing on to a four-year program that allows them to manage businesses related to agricultural engineering.
