Mechanical Technology: A.A.S.
Program Mission
The mission of the Mechanical Technology Program is to prepare students for careers as 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 technology as well as extensive hands-on practice of these concepts in a modern laboratory setting.
Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the Mechanical Technology program will demonstrate:
- The technical ability, with substantial independence, to manufacture, analyze and test mechanical components and systems.
- The technical capability to participate in the design of mechanical components and systems.
- The readiness and social skills necessary for team achievement of organizational goals.
- The ability to continue their education and successfully complete a Bachelor degree.
- An understanding of the interrelationship of the graduate, the organization, and society, and an awareness of the issues affecting that relationship.
SUNY Broome’s Mechanical Technology program is specifically designed to prepare students in the applied aspects of engineering. Mechanical technology is a vital part of any engineering field. It requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods, combined with practical technical skills in support of engineering activities.
Program Emphases:
- Manufacturing Processes
- Mechanical Drawing and Design – CAD
- Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics
- Quality Assurance
The continuing thrust for faster and more economical manufacturing methods, more realistic systems and the need for new, clean and consistent sources of energy have generated a continuing demand for mechanical technicians with a high degree of technical competence.
Program Notes
In order for students to complete the curriculum in two years, the proper high school preparation is necessary. If you have college-level courses, have taken BOCES in high school, or have military course work, courses may be accepted for SUNY Broome credit. For those wishing to enter the program who do not have the required math background, SUNY Broome also offers the necessary preparatory courses.
