Aeronautical Engineering Technology Curriculum
Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree
The AAS aeronautical engineering technology program stresses the fundamentals of engineering, science and technology. This major has been designed primarily as a transfer program, although graduates will be prepared to enter industry as engineering technologists.
Courses in this two-year degree program can be applied to a four-year curriculum in engineering. Graduates will have the skills necessary to obtain entry-level positions within engineering and related fields or continue their education towards a bachelor's degree. After this program is completed, students can either continue on in the College's Bachelor of Science degree program in computerized design or transfer to other colleges or universities. The College has articulation agreements with New York Institute of Technology and with Manhattan College.
Electronic Engineering Technology - Avionics Curriculum
Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree
This degree program provides the necessary technical foundation to prepare graduates for entry-level employment in the field of electronic engineering technology and related technologies, as well as the ability to transfer to baccalaureate-level engineering technology programs. Avionics encompasses electronic communication, navigation, surveillance and flight control systems. These systems have become complex, integrated and computer-controlled. The need for avionics technicians to service and maintain this equipment is growing accordingly. This two-year program develops these skills, starting from fundamentals and proceeding to the study of aircraft electronic systems. This program bridges the gap between the technician and the engineer in the aeronautical environment by providing a solid foundation in engineering technology as well as practical avionics knowledge. Graduates are prepared for positions with aircraft maintenance or manufacturing organizations. In addition, graduates of this program will find career opportunities in the field of engineering technology, general electronics, system construction and product design. Students completing this degree may also choose to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree specializing in engineering technology, avionics and related fields. Students are encouraged to pursue the College's Bachelor of Science in avionics degree program which provides in-depth application of theory and physical science to advanced avionics systems. Full-time students can complete this program in four semesters or in two years.
Animation and Digital Technologies Curriculum
Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Degree
The animation and digital technologies AAS degree has been developed to provide students proficiency in computer-aided design, graphic imaging and animation. In addition to basic college courses, students will be taught to develop 2-D and 3-D images, which can be combined to create still renderings of any style or complexity and whose sequential succession can be used to form animated sequences on videotape. Graduates of this program will find their computer skills applicable to a multitude of computer- and engineering-related fields, such as architecture, construction, graphic design and advertising.
Graduates can also pursue the College's BS degree program in computerized design or transfer to bachelor of science degrees in engineering, architectural, or graphic design at other institutions. Full-time students can complete this program in four semesters or in two years.
