Associate in Applied Science

CIP Code: 15.0805


Mission

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Technology Program is to prepare students for careers as engineering technicians with an A.A.S. degree and/or transfer into a Bachelors of Engineering Technology program. The program utilizes small classes to provide quality instruction of the fundamental theoretical concepts of mechanical engineering technology as well as extensive hands-on practice of these concepts in a modern laboratory setting. Our faculty are proud to work with employers and four-year colleges to continuously improve the program and maintain ABET accreditation.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering Technology program will demonstrate: 

  1. The technical ability, with substantial independence, to manufacture, analyze and test mechanical components and systems.
  2. The technical capability to participate in the design of mechanical components and systems. 
  3. The readiness and social skills necessary for team achievement of organizational goals. 
  4. The ability to continue their education and successfully complete a Bachelor degree. 
  5. An understanding of the interrelationship of the graduate, the organization, and society, and an awareness of the issues affecting that relationship.

The Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) program is designed to prepare students in the applied aspects of engineering. It requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge combined with practical technical skills and methods in support of engineering activities. The program emphasizes the application of fundamental engineering principles while utilizing up-to-date equipment and techniques.

The MET program at SUNY Broome is divided into four major areas: Engineering Materials, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Mechanical Drawing and Design – CAD, and Manufacturing Processes and Quality Assurance.

MET is the broadest of all engineering technology disciplines, allowing graduates to pursue careers in many segments of industry. The program prepares graduates for their profession by providing a background in the major areas of Mechanical Engineering Technology; but also allows students to continue towards a Baccalaureate Degree.

Sequence of Courses

This model is a two-year course schedule for students meeting all program requirements and deciding to pursue full-time study. Schedules will be redesigned for those requiring preparatory courses or those deciding to pursue part-time study.

First Year


Second Year


Graduation Requirement: 63 Credits


Notes


1Math sequence must comply with prerequisites of the Math Department.
2Physics sequence must comply with math and physics prerequisites.
W = Writing Emphasis Course
Social Science or General Education elective must be a writing emphasis designated course.

Cooperative Work Experience


Selected students can receive on-the-job experience directly related to the Mechanical Engineering Technology field by registering for MET 298 Cooperative Work Experience.
