Engineering Science - A.S.

The Engineering Science program prepares its graduates to complete a baccalaureate engineering degrees with another two years of study. Applicable areas include mechanical, electrical, civil, and aeronautical engineering to mention several. A key difference with Engineering Science, as differentiated from other programs in the Canino School of Engineering Technology, is that this program provides a strong theoretical preparation rooted in calculus for students who seek to prepare for engineering design responsibilities. Graduates have typically performed exceptionally well when transferring to engineering schools such as Clarkson, Cornell and RPI.

Students in this Major:

• Complete their first two years at SUNY Canton and then transfer to a four-year engineering school to complete their baccalaureate degree.
• Interact with faculty on a daily basis because of small class sizes.
• Are accepted by four-year schools with full Junior status.
• Have the benefit of SUNY Canton’s membership in the SUNY Two-Year Engineering Science Association (TYESA) of New York State. This membership is assurance that SUNY Canton’s Engineering Science program is rigorous and allows for smooth transfer to four-year schools.

Career Opportunities:

After transferring to, and graduating from, a four-year school, any engineering career is possible. Typical opportunities include:

• Aeronautical Engineer
• Civil Engineer
• Computer Engineer
• Electrical Engineer
• Engineering Management
• Mechanical Engineer

Career Outlook:

• There are favorable job opportunities in the North Country going into engineering-related positions.
• Employment opportunities in engineering have been good for a number of years and are expected to continue.

Transfer Opportunities:

In recent years Engineering Science students have transferred to:

• Carnegie Mellon University
• Clarkson University
• Cornell University
• Florida Institute of Technology
• Northeastern University
• Pennsylvania State University
• Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
• SUNY Binghamton
• SUNY Buffalo
• Syracuse University
• University of Massachusetts
• University of North Carolina

Admission Requirements:

• Refer to the table of high school course prerequisites for admission.
• Students must be qualified to enter Calculus I (MATH 161)
