| What is Engineering Science? |
| The Engineering Science, Associate Science (A.S.) degree, is a transfer program designed for students with a high school preparation in math and science who plan to continue their education at colleges of engineering. Each semester students take courses in calculus and physics. Students take chemistry for two semesters along with courses in the humanities and social sciences. There are introductory courses in computers and electrical and mechanical engineering, however, the objective is to prepare the student to transfer as a third-year-student into a four-year engineering program. |
| Career Opportunities in Engineering Science |
| The majority
of Engineering Science graduates continue their education, earning a
baccalaureate degree in mechanical, electrical, civil, or some other
engineering discipline. Students wishing to specialize in a pure science
are also provided a strong background to enable them to continue in
their chosen field. |
| High School Preparation Requirements |
| A high school student entering the Engineering Science A.S. program must have at least a B average in a curriculum that has four defined units (Regents) of math which includes pre-calculus and three defined units of Regents level science including chemistry. It is desirable to have one additional unit in math, physics, biology, and typing or keyboarding. |
| Engineering Science A.S. Curriculum |
The two-year engineering science curriculum has a total of 69 to 72 credit hours. Most of the courses are in the humanities, social sciences, mathematics and sciences, and 11 to 14 credits are in the mechanical and electrical engineering areas. The engineering field specialties are a required sequence of courses which coincide with the student's baccalaureate goal.The sequence required faculty advisory approval and must conform to the curriculum guidelines of the New York State Engineering Colleges Association.The required sequence minimum ranges between 6 and 12 credit hours. This is a ThinkPad University program. |
