Mechanical Engineering Technology - Hudson Valley Community College

Mechanical Engineering Technology from Hudson Valley Community College is a Campus Associate Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Mission of the Department: The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Technology department is to provide the students with a high quality, relevant program that affords the student the opportunity to obtain employment or engage in continued lifelong learning in the Mechanical Technology field. Goals of the Program 1. To provide a professional-quality, industrial-standard, continuously improving, accredited program. 2. To provide a broad-based exposure to the operations, standards and current practices in the field of mechanical technology . 3. To provide students with a hands-on program that emphasizes the practical methods necessary for success in the field and the necessary theory needed to understand the practical applications. 4. To provide the students with the opportunity to obtain employment or engage in continued lifelong learning. Student Objectives of the Program: The Mechanical Engineering Technology student program objectives are designed to allow successful graduates to: 1. Demonstrate competency in mechanical engineering technology skills. 2. Clearly communicate through written and oral expression the elements of a mechanical engineering technology project. 3. Demonstrate problem solving ability to analyze, interpret and design elements found in mechanical engineering technology applications. 4. Demonstrate knowledge of industry standard tools necessary for successful professional practice (software, code implementation and interpretation). 5. Mechanical engineering technology graduates will become employed or transfer to a four-year institution. The Mechanical Engineering Technology program provides the student with a general background in mathematics, physics and related technology subjects through a common core of courses. The flexibility provided the student in this program is necessary to accommodate the scope of interests in today's student audience and to cope with the rapidly changing technology field. Mechanical Technology students are instructed in computer programming, Computer Aided Manufacturing, Computer Aided Drafting (CAD/CAM) and microcomputer applications. The job opportunities for graduates of these programs are virtually unlimited, the demand being far greater than the supply. Many of our graduates interested in education beyond the A.A.S. level have successfully transferred to four-year colleges across the country. View more details on Hudson Valley Community College .
