Why SUNY Morrisville Mechanical Engineering Technology?

Our A.A.S. program is almost universally relevant to industrial and engineering technology, focusing primarily on production in such areas as product design, manufacturing technology, product and material testing, and quality control. 

Students participate in a laboratory-oriented curriculum emphasizing technical graphics communication, manufacturing processes and mechanical design. You will work hands-on with industry-standard, state-of-the-art equipment as you complete courses in computer-aided design (CAD) and manufacturing, 3D modeling, machining and engineering.

The program prepares you for a career in myriad industries or successful transfer to a bachelor’s degree program in mechanical engineering technology, manufacturing engineering technology or computer-integrated manufacturing technology.

Skills You Will Gain

Upon program completion, you will be able to:

  • Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities
  • Apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge
  • Conduct standard tests and measurements
  • Conduct, analyze and interpret experiments
  • Function effectively as a member of a technical team
  • Identify, analyze and solve narrowly defined engineering technology problems
  • Apply written, oral and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments
