Mission
The Engineering Science program prepares students to transfer to engineering colleges and universities to complete a BS degree in the engineering discipline in two additional years. The program delivers a high-quality curriculum in applied physics and the engineering sciences. By making student learning its central focus the department creates an environment that promotes critical thinking, innovation and engages students in the classroom and the community. Our faculty encourage and create a respectful, equitable, and inclusive learning environment.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate knowledge of engineering careers and engineering program transfer opportunities.
- Complete experiments, interpret data, and analyze results.
- Analyze the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
- Apply the principles and computational tools of mathematics, science, and engineering to solve a wide variety of engineering problems.
- Communicate effectively and function as members and leaders of multidisciplinary teams.

This program is modeled on the first two years of engineering programs at four-year schools. The degree enables students to transfer as juniors to many top colleges and universities in SUNY and across the country, where they complete a Bachelor’s degree in the engineering field of choice. For a student to finish in two years, they must enter in the Fall semester having completed Math 12 (Pre-Calc), Regents Physics and Regents Chemistry. Students in this program must work closely with their advisors and transfer institutions to select the appropriate technical electives that align with their desired engineering plan.
Sequence of Courses
The following model meets all program requirements for students who are pursuing full-time study and wish to complete the course work in four semesters. Those who desire a slower pace or need preparatory courses will require more than four semesters.

(BIO 118, CST 127, CST 138, CHM 146, CHM 245, CHM 246, CIV 119, EET 111, EET 112, GLG 115, MAT 250, MAT 260, MAT 264, MET 121, PHY 281, EGR 260, EGR 281, EGR 282, EGR 283, EGR 284, EGR 285, EGR 290, EGR 291, EGR 292, EGR 294, EGR 298, EGR 299) Spring Semester (15.5-17.5 Credits)
- Select two (2) EGR Technical Elective Credits: 8
(BIO 118, CST 127, CST 138, CHM 146, CHM 245, CHM 246, CIV 119, EET 111, EET 112, GLG 115, MAT 250, MAT 260, MAT 264, MET 121, PHY 281, EGR 260, EGR 281, EGR 282, EGR 283, EGR 284, EGR 285, EGR 290, EGR 291, EGR 292, EGR 294, EGR 298, EGR 299) Computer and Calculator Recommendations
Students will have to use a computer to analyze problems, make presentations, and write reports. While the College provides access to computers, most students need to have their own computer since they are so often used. Students will also need a computer and a high level graphing calculator. The T-89 is recommended. Engineering Majors
Students choose technical electives appropriate to their individual career path. Chemical Engineering majors take two semesters of Organic Chemistry. Biological or Environmental engineers usually take two semesters of Biology. Computer Engineers usually need three semesters of programming classes. Civil and Mechanical engineering fields usually require Statics, Dynamics and Strength of Materials. Circuits are taken by most students. Engineering Management and Systems Engineering options will require other substitutions. Students are urged to review requirements of their desired university transfer program. |
