Certificate of Achievement
Mechanical Engineering Technology provides the right combination of theory and hands-on training to prepare students for employment opportunities in the design, manufacture and set-up of mechanical equipment such as engines, power generation and control systems, and manufacturing systems (including robots). Specific job responsibilities include working as a designer, computer aided design/drafting, instrumentation and testing of machines and systems, and developing and troubleshooting manufacturing systems.
An introduction to engineering fundamentals and design through lecture, classroom activities, design and laboratory projects in the areas of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical technology. Students will learn how to formulate and solve engineering problems, both working individually and as part of a team.
MAT-013 or passing score on the College placement test
MAT 014
A study of materials (metallic and non-metallic), their engineering properties and the methods used to manufacturing to process these materials into useful products. Concurrent laboratory projects provide hands-on experience in areas of testing, modifying properties and the processes used in manufacturing to convert these materials into useful products.
A study of the graphic language of engineering and technology to include linework, lettering, geometric construction, orthographic projection, pictorial, sectional and auxiliary views and dimensioning techniques. Laboratory time is divided between technical sketching and drawings produced using AutoCad software.
The study of mechanical working drawings including detail, assembly, piping and welding drawings. Also included are dimensioning techniques, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, fits and tolerances of mating parts, threads, fasteners, and surface finish. Advanced use of CAD(Computer-Aided Drafting) software that includes creating template files, drawing layouts/paper space, blocks, attributes, external references, revision tables, notes and BOM (Bill of Material). Introduction to piping and welding drawings. Introduction to solid modeling, including part creation and orthographic and isometric drawing creation. The completion of a comprehensive final project is required.
An introductory course to familiarize students with feature-based parametric parts modeling. Students will be involved with outline sketching and sketch profiling, constraining, dimensioning and viewing different viewports. Techniques such as profile extrusion, revolving and sweeping, feature editing, creating work axis, making active sketch planes and creating work planes and points. Students will also master controlling object visibility; cutting, joining and intersecting operations; fillets, chamfers, holes and arrays; dimension display and equations; and assigning design variables.

Students may choose to participate in the Joint Admissions Program with the New Jersey Institute of Technology. Articulation agreements with public and private institutions offer students who earn the A.A.S. degree the opportunity to transfer all of their coursework to the four-year institution. Students in specialized programs, or who earn an A.A.S. degree should discuss the transfer process with an advisor.
Algebra I is a prerequisite for all majors. Algebra I competency may be verified with a passing score on the College’s placement test or completion of the appropriate course. Students must also have a grade of “C” or better in high school algebra II and geometry.
Once students complete developmental coursework (if needed), the degree can be completed in two years of full-time study. They can shorten the amount of time by taking courses in the summer and winter sessions.
