Engineering Science

Embracing a strong core of courses in chemistry, mathematics, and physics, and including basic English and humanities sequences, the program is augmented by basic engineering courses essential to all engineering disciplines.

The primary objective of this program is to provide a basic two years of study for students who wish to continue their education to the baccalaureate level in any of the engineering disciplines. With a baccalaureate degree, opportunities for employment exist in the civil, computer, electrical, environmental, mechanical, nuclear, chemical, and aerospace industries. Opportunity for advancement is excellent, and the financial return is high for those with ability and ambition.

Alfred State College is a member of the SUNY Two Year Engineering Science Association (TYESA). The purpose of this organization is to facilitate the transfer of engineering science graduates to New York State universities with accredited engineering programs. Recent Alfred State engineering science graduates have successfully transferred to Alfred University, Binghamton University, Clarkson University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Rochester Institute of Technology, NYS College of Ceramics at Alfred University, University at Buffalo and Syracuse University.

A laptop computer is highly recommended for students entering the engineering science program. The College will provide a list of appropriate laptops in April to all students who have been accepted to attend Alfred State College.
